As someone who's battled occasional scalp flakes, I put this affordable 6-pack to the test for 3 weeks. The first wash surprised me - that crisp, clean scent (think mountain spring with a hint of mint) lingered pleasantly without being overpowering.
The texture threw me off initially - it's thinner than premium brands, almost like liquid hand soap. But don't let that fool you! A quarter-sized amount lathered up surprisingly well in my thick hair. After rinsing, my scalp immediately felt less itchy - no more unconscious head-scratching during Zoom meetings.
Where it really shines? Value. At under $2 per bottle, it outperforms many drugstore brands. My husband (who's picky about haircare) stole two bottles for his gym bag after trying it once. The 2-in-1 formula saves shower space and time - perfect for rushed mornings when I'm washing my shoulder-length hair.
Two minor gripes: The scent fades faster than high-end shampoos, and if you have extremely dry hair, you might still need a separate conditioner. But for daily dandruff control? This budget buy gets the job done without stripping moisture like some medicated shampoos do.
Pro tip: Keep one in your gym bag and another at your partner's place - at this price point, you won't mind sharing!
