FAQ: MY DANDRUFF ALWAYS COMES BACK. WHY DOES THAT HAPPEN AND WHAT SHOULD I DO?

There is no cure for dandruff, so if you stop using your anti-dandruff shampoo then it's likely your dandruff will come back

Often, people use an anti-dandruff shampoo to treat the symptoms and, once they're gone they go back to their cosmetic shampoo again.

But dandruff is a recurring condition, so you need to treat the symptoms regularly if you want to stay flake-free.

More about the symptoms of dandruff

To prevent dandruff coming back, here's what to do:

  1. Choose an anti-dandruff shampoo - and make sure it's one that works too. Head & Shoulders shampoo has been clinically proven over 200 times and contains a unique Zinc Pyrithione active formula that tackles the root cause of dandruff

  2. Wash your hair regularly - for the best results, use your anti-dandruff shampoo every time you wash your hair rather than switching between that and a beauty shampoo. Head & Shoulders uses some of the best ingredients from cosmetic shampoos so you'll still get great-looking hair.

  3. Don't forget the conditioner - many people forget to use an anti-dandruff conditioner too. These have been designed to complement anti-dandruff shampoos and lock in the dandruff-fighting power - other conditioners may wash away the active ingredient in the shampoo so they won't be as effective
