    I’ve had dandruff the odd time over the years and the shampoo I found good for it a cheap one can’t be got anymore.
    Anybody have any recommendations for a shampoo for a guy with short hair?

    I use T-gel once a week and Head and Shoulders the rest of the week. It seems to keep the dandruff at bay.

    I find T-Gel pretty good but if it's really bad in the past I've used Nizoral. I get seborrheic dermatitis from time to time so my GP gave me a prescription for Stieprox.

    TGel for me. Nizoral is really expensive and not that useful

    Only 1 thing works for me and that's the 130ml bottle of --

    Selenium Sulfide
    Persistent Dandruff Shampoo

    from Head & Shoulders

    Nitzoral used to work for me when it was still prescription only, think it had the same active ingredient . . .

    I used Head & Shoulders but I've noticed that it doesn't seem to be up to the job. I have some Nizoral but I've not used it in ages.

    We sat again for an hour and a half discussing maps and figures and always getting back to that most damnable creation of the perverted ingenuity of man - the County of Tyrone.

    I suffer from a dry scalp and was told by a dermatologist not to use Head and Shoulders or anything designed for dandruff (may have been specific advice for me). I jump between Alberto Balsam Tea Tree Shampoo (cheap) and Kerastase (expensive). Both do the job but the Kerastase a bit better.

    I used to suffer with some dry scalp too until I stopped taking hot showers, now I take fairly cold showers and that worked immediately for me

    Thanks, I decided to give the T-gel a try and see how I get on.

    Selsun or Head and Shoulders Clinical Strength will have Selium Sulphide active ingredient in them and will clear up dandruff and dermatitis very quickly.

    T-GEL - must be the COAL TAR version for me. Available (sometimes) in Boots and Tesco.
