I told my mom and she got me some shampoo to try, the Neutrogena
T-Gel Therapeutic Shampoo and Conditioner (which is recommended for dandruff, psoriasis,
and seborrheic dermatitis). It was amazing! Immediately after using it I could
tell a huge difference. That was four years ago and I’m still using that shampoo
and conditioner to this day.
The shampoo doesn’t smell the best, but the conditioner
smells a lot better. It’s definitely something you get used to though. The
scent doesn’t linger after washing plus I always put other products in my hair,
like heat protectant, so I’ve never noticed the scent throughout the day.
I also tried Neutrogena’s 2 in 1 Daily Shampoo/Conditioner but
felt it didn’t work as well as the Original formula, which I let set in my hair
for a few minutes before rinsing out and using the conditioner. The only
problem I now had was finding a shampoo and condition to use daily (since you’re
only supposed to use the Neutrogena T-Gel 1-2 times a week). Using it too often removes most of the oil
your hair naturally produces, so then your body starts to produce even more oil
to make up for it, which will give you an oily head (according to my hairdresser).
Pura D’or sent me their Scalp Therapy Shampoo and
Conditioner, as well as their Pure Organic Argan Oil, so I have been using these
on the days I don’t use the T-Gel. I’ve been using the Scalp Therapy Shampoo
and Conditioner for over the past two months and so far they have been working
great at preventing itching and flaking! I was actually pretty impressed with
how well they have been doing because other brands I’ve tried for an extended
period of time just made my head itchy again. This is the only brand I have
tried so far that has allowed me to go the longest without using the T-Gel. Plus
the scents are similar to the T-Gel ones (strong shampoo scent with the
conditioner smelling better).
According to the bottle, the Pura D’or Scalp Therapy works
at controlling flaking, relieving scaling and itching, soothing the scalp, and
moisturizing hair. So far it has worked at controlling all these issues with my
scalp! I like that the bottles have push pump tops, it just makes it easier in
the shower to get a consistent amount each time. The shampoo also lathers up
really nicely, I’ve had issues in the past with other shampoos not lathering up
and when they don’t I just feel like my hair isn’t getting as clean! I leave
the product on my hair for a few minutes before rinsing out and then apply the
conditioner.
Also I don’t know if this had anything to do with the
shampoo/conditioner but I feel like my hair has been growing really fast since
I started using it! I got a haircut in January and two months later had to get
another one because my hair had grown so much (usually I would go 4-5 months
before getting a cut).
I also tried their Organic Argan Oil, which can be used on your
body, hair, and face. So far I haven’t used it on my head but I like to use it
on my cuticles, because it came with a dropper applicator and I love those for
applying products to nail beds.
I get a 16 oz. bottle of the Neutrogena T-Gel Shampoo on Neutrogena.com
or Amazon for $14.99 (Ulta used to carry it but stopped). Other smaller bottles
are also available which is nice for those who want to give it a test before committing
to a large bottle. The conditioner bottle is $6.49 for 4.4 fl. oz., which is
the only size offered.
The Pura D’or Scalp Therapy Shampoo and Conditioner 16 fl.
oz. bottles retail for $19.99 each. These are available on their website www.purador.com or instore/online at CVS,
Target, Walgreens, and Amazon (other retailers are listed on their site). They
also have products that can be used to prevent hair loss, strengthen, and
enrich your hair.
If you have a dry or really itchy scalp I definitely recommend
giving these products a try!
