The beauty fanatic revealed how she transformed her hair and scalp in a Reddit post.
“I have suffered from terrible dandruff for years,” she wrote under the name Telemere125.
“I alternated between different medicated shampoos every few months because one shampoo would work for a while and then stop working.
“I even tried the prescription versions. None of them worked for more than a few months.”
She admitted she didn’t have high expectations when she tried Head & Shoulders 2-in-1 Dandruff Shampoo + Conditioner with Almond Oil.
“It didn’t leave my hair feeling the same as other shampoos, nor what I expected from a shampoo,” she said.
“My hair and scalp were so hydrated that I was afraid it would look greasy.
“I already have oily hair, so I expected it to be even oilier.
“After just a few weeks of use, the itching on my scalp stopped and all the dandruff disappeared.
“I’ve never had to switch and that was about 10 years ago.”
She reassured people with dandruff and advised them to use a moisturizing shampoo to prevent flaking.
Many people gave positive reviews for the post and other comments agreed that moisturizing products help with dryness and itching.
