Dandruff is caused by a microbe on the scalp and can cause dryness, itchiness and flakes. Find out how to treat your symptoms while tackling the root cause.
Dandruff is a very common condition, with 1 in 2 people susceptible to the microbe that causes it. If you suffer from dandruff, you may experience one or more of the common symptoms.

These symptoms need to be treated by a shampoo that tackles the root cause – dandruff – while ensuring that the hair is left looking healthy and smelling great.
The best treatment for fighting dandruff
To treat the root cause of dandruff, look for a shampoo with a clinically proven active ingredient, like pyrithione zinc.
This active ingredient is a proven long-term solution that, when used regularly, treats dandruff and prevents it from coming back.
Pyrithione zinc (ZPT) is the main ingredient in all Head & Shoulders Dandruff Shampoos. They protect the scalp better than ordinary dandruff shampoos, using a unique and highly effective form of ZPT, and zinc carbonate to keep your scalp moisturized.
