- Won't work for severe dandruff
Reviews say Head & Shoulders Classic Clean is a solid shampoo, although it may not be strong enough for those with a severe problem. It is also the least expensive dandruff shampoo that contains zinc pyrithione, a chemical that combats the organisms that cause dandruff. Experts say that Head & Shoulders also is less likely to have irritating side effects than many other anti-dandruff shampoos. If you don't need an anti-dandruff shampoo, reviewers recommend Suave Daily Clarifying shampoo (*Est. $3 for 22.5 oz.), a mild formula that won't contribute to buildup.
