Dandruff can be one of the most annoying issues our scalp can face, but luckily there are a host of excellent dandruff shampoos available to make itching and embarrassing flakes a problem of the past.

Board-certified dermatologist at Wexler Dermatology, Dr. Francesca Fusco, previously told POPSUGAR that the issue is super common. "13 million Americans have had it,"she said. "According to a recent study conducted by Unilever, most consumers who have had dandruff have suffered long term, with 51 percent having had dandruff for more than two years."

If you happen to be one of the many people suffering from this uncomfortable condition, fear not. We've rounded up the best dandruff shampoos on the market that will banish flakes, sooth a tight and dry scalp, and eliminate itchiness.

Check them out, ahead.
