What is an anti-dandruff shampoo?

Dandruff is caused by a scalp that is too dry (dry dandruff) or too oily (greasy dandruff). To compensate for this dysfunction, special shampoos are used that regulate and soothe your scalp. This will reduces the formation of dandruffIn addition, many anti-dandruff shampoos contain additional active ingredients that help to loosen and remove already existing dandruff. In contrast to a normal shampoo, an anti-dandruff shampoo is not primarily concerned with the hair, but with the scalp. You should also pay attention to the instructions for use: How often should/may the shampoo be used, over what period of time, and how long do you have to leave the shampoo on for each treatment? Only if you adhere exactly to these points will maximum effectiveness be achieved. By the way, anti-dandruff shampoos not only help for dandruff, they usually also have an antibacterial effect and prevent the proliferation of yeast fungi, which can quickly develop with dandruff. We also have the best Hair Growth Serum tested in our salon.

What should I look for when buying an anti-dandruff shampoo?

In order to achieve the desired effect with your anti-dandruff shampoo, you should pay attention to a whole series of points. First of all, it is important to know what type of dandruff you suffer from (more on this in the next paragraph). Do you have oily or dry dandruff? Depending on the type of dandruff, you should look for a suitable product. The second important point is the application: Is it a shampoo that you can/should use daily to wash your hair, or is the product only used once or twice a week exclusively to fight dandruff?

Of course, a shampoo should also take care of the hair. While some products (such as our test winner from Toni&Guy) do the Care hair and leave the hair feeling very pleasant, other anti-dandruff shampoos leave the hair dry or straw-like after use and should be additionally treated with a Conditioner treated. Last but not least, environmental and animal welfare considerations also play a role. Do you want to use complex chemicals on your hair, or would you rather use a shampoo with purely natural ingredients that is not tested on animals? As you can see, there are several questions you should consider when choosing your anti-dandruff shampoo. So think outside the box, don't just focus on your dandruff problem, but rather look for a product that completely convinces you!

How does dandruff develop?

First of all, you should know that everyone produces dandruff. Your scalp is made up of skin cells that are arranged on top of each other in different layers. Over the course of about four weeks, these skin cells migrate from the inside to the very outside, then die and are shed. This process is quite normal and is important for always having intact and healthy skin. Normally, these small dandruff cells are not visible to the naked eye, but if problems occur, this can cause the scalp to reject the cells too quickly, which then clump together and become visible as dandruff (this happens from a clump of about 500 skin cells). In principle, dandruff can be divided into two categories: Dry and greasy dandruff. Dry, white dandruff is primarily caused by a scalp that is too dry. This can be caused by dry heating air, the use of the wrong, drying shampoos, or even the climate.

Also Stress and washing your hair too often are reasons for a scalp that is too dry. Oily, yellow dandruff, on the other hand, is caused by a completely different problem. These dandruff are usually larger than dry dandruff and do not feel porous, but rather somewhat oily. Because of this oily, sticky surface, they often stick to the scalp, which can lead to the development of yeast. Reasons for this greasy dandruff can be too much sebum production, high humidity, hormonal influences or even a genetic predisposition. The problem of greasy dandruff occurs mainly in men.
