Shampoo?

[jennmm]

Anyone got a shampoo they really like and would recommend? I have to have something for dry scalp but everything I've tried lately either makes my head itch worse or leaves it filmy.

I started using Alterna Caviar Replenishing Moisture shampoo and conditioner. I don't know if it'll help with dry scalp or not, but it moisturizes like no other shampoo I've ever used. It's more expensive than a lot of others I've tried so I don't use it daily (every 2-3 days). I've found it to be cheapest on Amazon.

Good luck!

What about a cleansing conditioner? Herbal Essences has one from their Naked line. The thing with cleansing conditioners though is you have to use a ton of it in order to completely clean, and rinse thoroughly, otherwise it'll feel like greasy build up.

I've recently started using the Loreal Evercreme line and I like it, both the intense nourishing shampoo and the conditioner.

A few months ago I switched from salon shampoo to Aveno naturals (the sulphate free line) and I've really liked it so far. I haven't really had too many issues with dry scalp, but this shampoo definitely cleans well and the conditioner although doesn't always feel super smooth right out of the shower really does get conditioned well and it's been working well for me. They sell it at cvs and target.

I had this one recommended to me by my stylist: www.amazon.com/Rene-Furterer-Astera-Soothing-Shampoo/dp/B009HJRS6E/ref=sr_1_15?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1428509868&sr=1-15&keywords=furterer+shampoo

I've had dry scalp issues for years and this one is the only shampoo that's ever taken care of it. They explained it to me that you use it almost like a prescription--use it about 2x a week for 8-12 weeks and that stop using it and go with a gentle, sulphate free shampoo afterwards. They told me to rub it vigorously into my scalp only, and let it sit for 2-5 minutes. It completely got rid of my scalp issues. Even now if I go a few days without washing my hair (which used to mean itchy/flaky scalp) I have no issues.

On the days that I didn't use that shampoo (and now that I've finished with it), I use the Abba brand line of products. They're on the pricey side (I usually get them at Ulta) but there are usually good deals--last time I got a big 32oz shampoo and conditioner for $40.

But seriously, the french shampoo is the best thing ever for dry scalp!
