Dandruff is a common dry scalp condition. It is often due to a skin disorder known as seborrheic dermatitis that can irritate the skin and cause it become oily, flaky and red. Very oily hair can be due to other factors including hormonal imbalances and the use of styling products. Fortunately there are a number of dry scalp shampoos that can help control dandruff and effectively cleanse oily hair.
Head & Shoulders
Head & Shoulders dandruff shampoo contains the antibacterial and antifungal agent zinc pyrithione. This ingredient can treat scalp fungus that can cause dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. Head & Shoulders dandruff shampoo is available in a special formula created for fine and/or oily hair.
Nuetrogena T/Gel
Nuetrogena T/Gel is a tar-based shampoo that is an offshoot of the coal manufacturing process. Nuetrogena T/Gel therapeutic shampoo for fine or oily hair also will concurrently treat dry scalp problems such as dandruff, psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis.
Selsun Blue
Selenium sulfide dandruff shampoos like Selsun Blue are antifungal medication hair cleansers that stop fungus from growing on your scalp while prolonging the life of your skin cells. Selsun Blue is available for normal and oily hair.
Nizoral
Nizoral is a ketoconazole shampoo that is used primarily to treat seborrheic dermatitis. According to the Mayo Clinic, ketoconazole is a broad-spectrum antifungal agent that is available over-the-counter and by prescription. Nizoral shampoo may prove to be too drying, even for oily hair. In that case Nizoral conditioning shampoo may be a good option.
