As long as you are healthy, romance about winter is good. Dry skin, colds, coughs and dandruff are common irritants that suppress the mind. Dandruff is also embarrassing because it makes the scalp itchy. People often scratch their heads constantly, even in public. In addition, hair loss increases with the prevalence of dandruff. 

The time-tested formulas and wisdom handed down from our grandmothers are often oiled. However, while oiling the hair is ideal, it is not always convenient, especially for busy people. In this case, using a good anti-dandruff (and sometimes medication) shampoo can solve the problem. 

If you are confused when you see many of these products in the supermarket, we have compiled a list that can come in handy.

1) Selsun Suspension Anti-Dandruff Shampoo

This product helps to remove dandruff flakes while relieving itching and flaking. This shampoo comes in a small bottle of 130 grams, which can effectively remove dandruff and may not require you to apply a lot. It contains selenium sulfide USP 2.5% W/V and buffer emulsion base QS. However, this is a medicinal shampoo and is best used under the guidance of a doctor. If your problem is serious, you can use it twice a week for two weeks, and then use it only when necessary.

The size of this shampoo is small (100 ml), but it works well. It has a triple action formula-designed to fight dandruff, strengthen and condition hair. It contains kembazole (antifungal agent) + ZPTO (a compound used to fight dandruff), which can attack the root cause of dandruff. This shampoo also contains piroctone ethanolamine, which is known to improve the thickness of the hair shaft, thereby reducing hair fall caused by breakage. It also has a conditioning foundation, even if you use it every day, you can ensure that it will not dry out.
