I can get some pretty bad dandruff that's uncomfortable and annoying. To make matters worse, I'm a brunette, so flakes can be noticeable when I'm having a particularly bad day. Because of my issue, I have tried dozens and dozen of products intended to control or soothe dandruff. Luckily, I have narrowed it down to the very best formulas that give me relief. Ahead, you'll find the most effective products I've tried, from shampoos to scrubs. I don't recommend using all of these items at once, of course. They have all worked for me at different times, but using too many products can make dandruff even worse, so be careful! Shop through them all and say bye to dandruff ASAP. My head has never been better.
