No – in fact, Head & Shoulders has been proven to take care of your scalp and keep it – and your hair – healthy.
Dandruff is a sign that your scalp isn’t completely healthy. As well as flakes, you can also experience itching and dryness as dandruff damages the scalp’s outer layer of skin cells.
Head & Shoulders doesn’t just remove flakes, it helps to eliminate the substances that bother the scalp.
This allows the skin to regain its natural, healthy balance, relieving dryness and itching.
Our shampoos and conditioners also provide ongoing protection against the daily stresses like pollution, heat or sweat that can aggravate dandruff. Used regularly, they give your scalp an invisible, protective shield that helps to keep your scalp healthy.
If you have a sensitive scalp, we also have an extra gentle range, Head & Shoulders Sensitive Scalp that’s been designed to be tough on dandruff but kind and gentle on skin.
