  • Why we love it: Exfoliates and conditions at the same time; safe for color-treated hair
  • What could improve: Some find the basil, ginger, and spearmint scent off-putting
  • Key ingredients: Salicylic acid, propanediol caprylate

  Glamour editors have long been fans of Ouai, particularly the brand’s anti-dandruff shampoo, which contains an impressive 2% salicylic acid. It’s a standout ingredient in shampoos for dryness, because it’s a mild exfoliant that helps slough off dead skin and reduce scaling on the scalp that can cause flakes, says Hadley King, MD, a board-certified dermatologist in NYC. This product also has an active ingredient called propanediol caprylate, which pros tell us may help reduce the amount of dandruff-causing bacteria on the scalp.

  In tests, users consistently told us they liked this particular shampoo, because it didn’t feel medicinal yet had impressive prowess.

  • Why we love it: Highly conditioning; safe for color-treated hair; fresh scent
  • What could improve: Doesn’t lather as well as some other options
  • Key ingredients: Zinc pyrithione, coconut oil, decylene glycol, algae extract

  It’s hard to find a dandruff shampoo that doesn’t feel like a drag to use, but we were extremely pleased with this pick from Jupiter. A number of editors use it to treat their own dry scalp, touting it as a highly effective formula that not only gives your scalp the TLC it needs but also treats strands with care. It has all of the ingredients that work—antifungal pyrithione zinc, moisturizing coconut oil, and strengthening squalene—while still being nontoxic, says Tylor Johnson, expert hair colorist and founder of Nous Haircare.

  Glamour commerce editor Jake Smith is a big fan of Jupiter shampoo. “Almost immediately I noticed remarkable improvement,” he says. “My flare-ups have receded to the point where I can go multiple days without shampooing and my hair comes out of each wash whisper-soft and moisturized—a far cry from the wiry, bone-dry hair I had before.

  4/11

  SACHAJUAN Scalp Shampoo

  • Why we love it: Clean formula; colorless and has a great scent; lathers well
  • What could improve: Small bottle
  • Key ingredients: Piroctone olamine, climbazole

  Piroctone olamine and climbazole work hand in hand to tackle both active flare-ups of dandruff and the fungi that can cause scalp issues in the first place. The formula also boasts exfoliating salicylic acid to tackle buildup that can cause itchiness and those dead skin cells that cause flakes, soothing menthol, conditioning rosemary oil, and anti-inflammatory ginger extract.

  One of the things we like most about this shampoo is how comparable it is to other, more conventional formulas for all hair types, whether fine or coily. My own medium-textured, frizz-prone hair tolerated this shampoo really well. It lathered expertly, so I could really effectively cleanse my distractingly itchy scalp. Afterwards, I didn’t have the same desire to itch, plus remained flake-free for a few days—an amazing feat when it comes to my hair. I also liked the ginger-forward scent, which made for a real spa-like experience. Another plus? This formula is vegan and cruelty-free, plus void of icky ingredients like parabens.

  Best Anti-Dandruff Shampoo: Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo

  Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo

  • Why we love it: OTC alternative to a popular prescription treatment; can be used to treat fungal infections on skin too; minty scent
  • What could improve: Small bottle
  • Key ingredients: 1% ketoconazole

  “Nizoral shampoo is an effective over-the-counter option for dry flaky scalp,” says Connie Yang, MD, a cosmetic dermatologist at PFRANKMD. “We often prescribe a prescription version of this in the office that contains 2% ketoconazole versus the 1% found over the counter.” While studies show the 2% formulations are more effective at eliminating symptoms and preventing future flare-ups, this drugstore shampoo is a good option for those with more mild cases or those who don’t want to visit a dermatologist.

  The bottle is a bit small for the price, but we found a little bit of product goes a long way. Glamour senior commerce editor Jenifer Calle uses it a few times a week on her coarse hair and says the bottle can last her a few months. We also liked that it had more of a minty smell—not the strong tar-like scent of other medicated shampoos. The product tingles upon contact a bit, so you feel immediate relief from itchiness and irritation too. It’s also more versatile than other shampoos for dry scalp—my doctor told me to use it as a treatment for a small case of tinea versicolor, a common fungal infection that I had under my breasts. It cleared it up in just a few uses.

  Dae Desert Detox Clarifying Shampoo

  • What we love: Gives you a deep-clean feeling, doesn’t strip hair
  • What could improve: Has fragrance, which may cause sensitivity to some
  • Key Ingredients: Prickly pear extract, devil’s claw extract

  I always thought I had a dry scalp, but a scalp analysis proved me wrong: my urge to itch and any resulting flakes were actually from excess oil production. And when that’s the case, a detox shampoo like this one from Dae is a game-changer. The clarifying yet non-stripping formula deeply cleanses the scalp, helping to remove excess oil, impurities, and residue without compromising moisture or color, leaving you with a balanced scalp and hair that feels clean and bouncy.

  Our tester found their scalp felt noticeably cleaner after just one use, with less oil at the roots and more volume post-blow dry. “It’s a dream to apply—it lathers beautifully and gives you a ton of suds,” says Kilkeary. “My hair and scalp felt very clean after using it, and I also notice a difference in the volume and feel of my hair after I dry it.
