(Suave Scalp Solutions Anti-Dandruff Shampoo, $4, drugstores)
I have super oily hair, and I've found that anti-dandruff shampoos can help with controlling the oil better than clarifying shampoos. So, my line of thought when buying this shampoo was A) helping control the oil and B) I love the smell of coconut, so it seemed like a perfect purchase.
Beyond smelling fantastic, it lathers well (if that's important to you), and rinses out easily. Since I don't use anti-dandruff shampoo to chase away flakes I can't comment on if it works for that purpose. But what I wasn't prepared for was the fact it completely dried my hair out. It felt--and looked-- like straw, and the conditioner I used with it didn't help at all. However, there wasn't a speck of oil in my hair. Obviously, due to the dryness, my hair was hard to handle, even though I just wear it up in a ponytail most of the time.
If you do have dandruff, it might be worth a try if you're having trouble finding a shampoo to help control flakes. If you're like me and looking for ways to control oily hair, I'd skip this one.
