The Dilemma
A couple of week's ago, I was combing my seven year old's hair and noticed that he had HUGE chunks of yellow things in his hair. I say things because it didn't look like dandruff. It almost looked like he had...

Pros: Works well

About 2 years ago, I found myself in search of a good hair care product after an aircraft accident left me over-exposed to chemicals, requiring me to completely change my day to day products. One product that I definitely had to change was my shampoo. ...

I’ll start out by saying that I’ve had pretty severe dandruff ever since I was a teenager, and needless to say it has been one of the most irritating problems to deal with (alongside acne). I have been looking for years to find something that works on a ...

Pros: Really works! Doesn't weigh hair down
Cons: Price; smell takes getting used to

Dry indoor winter heat does a number on my skin, my lips, and my scalp. It's not a happy time for me, especially when the flakes start to appear. Because my hair is so dark, I am very concerned about any signs of flakiness, so I've tried just about every ...

Pros: Clears up scalp problems, even serious ones. Don't need to use it everyday.
Cons: Smell, but you get used to it

I started using this shampoo a couple years ago when I continually had small scabs forming on my scalp, whether it was just dry and I was irritating it by scratching, or I have a condition like psoriasis, I don't know.

I tried Paul Mitchell...

Pros: Sooths scalp better than others I've tried.
Cons: Smells horrible. Irritates sensitive skin. Weighs hair down.

The biggest problem with t gel is that the smell is horrible. It smells like moth balls. If you have sensitive skin, you have to be very careful not to get this on your face as well. It made me break out into a rash. But so far, it has soothed my scalp...

Pros: Works GREAT!
Cons: Smells disgusting

This product works well. In the wintertime, like many other people, I develop dandruff. This product helps to get rid of it immediately. I would definately recommend it.


The only down side is the smell. As with other dandruff shampoos, it has a horrible stench, but this one is extremely offensive. It almost takes my breath away.

Pros: It works! Great lather, rinses out well.
Cons: Only the price, but that is balanced out by the usage one bottle gives.

I have a very dry, itchy scalp which is usually quite sore. Neutrogena's T-Gel shampoo is the only product I've ever used in 15 years that has managed to not only soothe my scalp but also control and even help to heal it. I wouldn't use another to put it simply.

The first thing you notice about it is the dark colour. I have dark hair so it isn't a problem for me but I'm not sure if it's suitable for blonde hair. If you are fair-haired I would investigate further before buying/using.

The second thing you can't fail to notice is the smell. Personally I love it but it is very strong and probably won't be to everyone's taste. It falls somewhere between freshly laid Tarmac and wood preservative such as Creosote. But this isn't a cosmetic product, and any sweet-smelling conditioner will take away what is left of the smell afterwards.

It's quite a concentrated gel-like substance and lathers up beautifully so a little goes a long way which is a plus point given the price. However, unlike most shampoos that lather and then require 20 minutes of rinsing, this rinses out almost immediately.
