dandruff

I've been using this head and shoulders oil control shampoo for a short while and I've noticed I've been getting a lot of dandruff lately. I like to wash my hair in the evening (around 9 pm?) and the next morning there's already dandruff. Is this because of the shampoo? Is it stripping the oils off my scalp and so leading to dandruff?
Every one knows head and shoulders just gives u worse dandruff,
I think theirs one called Tgel use that instead
Is it heads and shoulders for greasy hair? I find that stuff gets rid of all that crap
Use shampoos that have KETOCONAZOLE.

yes

Search google for ketoconazole shampoo and try to choose the best one by going through the reviews.

You can also get it from your local pharmacy. It's an OTC medicine

The commonest brand is Nizoral. If that doesn't help, you could speak to a pharmacist about other options as there are lots of different types of medicated shampoos for dandruff. Nizoral always works well for me though.

It works great for seborrhoeic dermatitis though - it clearly things up completely in 2 weeks and then you only need to use it once every few weeks to stop things coming back so a bottle will last months. I usually just use 1 bottle until it runs out and often I don't need to use it again for a good few months. I go through 1, maybe 2 bottles a year - you need a pretty small amount for each wash.
