With summer weather in full effect, chances are you’ve already traded in your beanies, toques, or winter hats for a chance to feel the gentle summer breeze through your hair. A little too cheesy? Maybe…but, for some this simple switch is a mindless and enjoyable delight of the season; for others, it sends a panic shivering down our spine, with “how’s my hair?” on replay in our head.
Dandruff or seborrheic dermatitis affects nearly half of the global population and it can be both frustrating and embarrassing. Men and women alike try to battle the dry, fine flaky skin on the scalp with messy home remedies, by washing their hair several times a day, or simply by refraining from wearing darker colours in fear of making the little, white, flakes appear more visible. And then there’s the itch. Oh god, the itch! The chronic itch that only creates more flakes, and continues the never-ending cycle of dandruff.
But, what’s the solution?
If you washed your hair in the morning and by the time you get off work, you’re already seeing dandruff, then you’ve got stubborn dandruff and stubborn dandruff can feel debilitating. You can try an anti-dandruff shampoo and conditioner that contains pyrithione zinc or selenium sulfide, but when your dandruff is so intense that you feel like your shoulders look like the snowstorm scene from The Shining, Dr. Rolanda Wilkerson suggests using the new Head & Shoulders Clinical Solutions Collection. The collection is a daily anti-dandruff scalp treatment, which is clinically proven to tackle dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis from the source, making hair look and feel healthier.
“Head & Shoulders scientists have continued to optimize the formula in its shampoo and conditioner collections to provide best in-class efficiency and cosmeticity benefits, without being harsh on hair,” says Dr. Wilkerson.
Think of Clinical Solutions as a magical elixir that provides you with much-needed relief from those embarrassing dandruff symptoms from the first time you hop in the shower and lather up. The dandruff and itch shampoos provide 24-hour protection that helps relieve the symptoms of dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. Added bonus? They leave your hair feeling soft and clean.
Dr. Wilkerson also notes to maximize the full effect of H&S Clinical Solutions; it would be best to use both, the shampoo and conditioner.
“Head & Shoulders shampoo has been designed for shampoos and conditioners to work together to give you maximum scalp benefits,” says Dr. Wilkerson. “If you follow Head & Shoulders shampoo with a cosmetic conditioner, you’re reducing your scalp care benefits.”
Head & Shoulders Clinical Solutions Collection is available at mass retailers across Canada for $9.99 for 130ml and $14.99 for 250ml.
