Does Anyone Use A Regular Shampoo On Rotation To What They Use Prescription Wise Or Over The Counter Dandruff, Medicated Kind?
I'm wondering if it's not good to always use medicated shampoo to wash hair as it can be more drying than others. I use Head and shoulders Bare hydrating, but of course it has zinc...in it to help control dandruff so I'm wondering if this could do more harm with drying out your hair and be better not to use every wash and to rotate? Not sure though because I know Bare claims to be very gentle with its limited ingredients. Does anybody have this experience?
🐭I rotate between head and shoulders bare, Dove dermacare scalp, an aloe based shampoo(I forget the name I put it in another bottle) selenium sulfate 1% dandruff shampoo, and a prescription shampoo ketoconazole 2% . I only use the prescription shampoo when I have an active outbreak going on. Since I wash my hair every third day I use each shampoo three to four times before rotating to the next. Since I cut my hair short my use of conditioner has decreased significantly I use a small dab of leave in that I make sure doesn’t touch my scalp since I have yet to find a conditioner that doesn’t cause my scalp to react badly!!! Any suggestions????? I hope that this is helpful.
Have you tried a good coconut oil? It only takes a drop to rub in the ends. Also castor or mineral oil. Just enough for the ends.
Thanks for your reply! Yes I was just wondering about non medicated shampoos like not for seb derm or dandruff per say. Just regular shampoos but I appreciate you sharing and I may give it a go bringing in another shampoo but am afraid to use regular so maybe something like Dove I'll look in to. I agree conditioner seems to irritate my scalp too. I have stopped using it and just use a few sprayed of leave in conditioner on my mid-ends. I have longer hair a little shorter than mid back so my hair needs something but I haven't found the right conditioner to put in my ends. Right now leave in seems to be helping the best for dryness as well I have found some relief with Bare but looking for more relief and less drying. Thank you again.
Rotating shampoos, including medicated ones, can be a good strategy for managing seborrheic dermatitis. Medicated shampoos, like those with zinc pyrithione, can sometimes cause dryness if overused. Using a gentle, non-medicated shampoo in between can help maintain moisture while still controlling symptoms. Head & Shoulders Show Full Answer
