My scalp is oily and itchy, but I also have some flaking. Will this shampoo address all these issues, and how should I use it?

Yes, this shampoo is formulated for situations where excess oil, itch, and recurring flakes are present together. The combination of active ingredients works in complementary ways: selenium sulfide addresses the yeast factor linked to flaking, while salicylic acid helps to loosen and remove the buildup of dead skin cells and sebum that can make the scalp feel heavy, itchy, and look less fresh. Magnesium chloride is included to support a better scalp condition.

For effective use, apply a small amount to wet hair, focusing the lather primarily on the scalp and roots where oil and flakes accumulate. Gently massage for 1-2 minutes to allow the actives time to work, then rinse completely. It may take several washes to see a significant reduction in symptoms. Start by using it every other wash, observing how your scalp reacts. If it feels clean and comfortable, you can continue. If it becomes overly dry or sensitive, reduce frequency. Remember, it is a scalp-focused treatment shampoo, not a general hair conditioner for lengths.
