If your dandruff tends to occur seasonally, you might just have a dry scalp. Year-long flakes may indicate a skin condition. We have suggestions for both
Photo: Courtesy of the Retailers No one likes flakes, especially when they’re on your head. A dandruff shampoo is the most effective solution, but there are a lot out there.

Year-long flakes may indicate a skin condition, like psoriasis or seborrheic dermatitis, a kind of eczema.
$10 at Amazon Buy $10 at Amazon Buy If Your Hair is Curly, Dry, or Damaged Phyto Dandruff Treatment Shampoo This shampoo requires you to take on an intense, monthlong hair regimen. Per the instructions, I marinated my scalp with the shampoo for four minutes, two to three times a week, for my first month of use. Even though I typically wash my hair only once a week, the extra shampooing wasn’t damaging or drying.
$28 at Sephora Buy The $6 Option Neutrogena T-Sal Shampoo $6 After my highly-effective-yet-terribly-drying prescription ran out, my dermatologist recommended Neutrogena’s shampoo. It employs a 3 percent salicylic acid formula to chemically exfoliate your scalp, meaning that it first lifts and then removes gross flakes — kind of like a chemical peel for your scalp. It’s just as drying as the prescription stuff, but easier to find and much cheaper.
$46 at Dermstore Buy If Your Hair Is Dyed Redken Scalp Relief Dandruff Control Shampoo Color-treated hair costs a lot of money, so it makes sense that you’d rather not play a game of chance when it comes to finding the right shampoo. This one from Redken is formulated with pyrithione zinc, which treats dandruff without stripping your hair color. It’s also convenient: you can apply the shampoo to your dry scalp and let it marinate before heading into the shower .
