REVIEW
Selsun shampoo does effectively get rid of dandruff and itchy scalp. Unlike other antidandruff shampoo’s, Do not use this as a long term treatment but only twice a week for 2-3 weeks. Use this as recommended and later, reduce its frequency of usage to once a month for maintenance.
To prevent dryness, Use a hair mask once a week like, yogurt-lemon juice, henna, aloe vera or any light weight oils that suits your scalp. Rinse off after an hour or two. Shampoo and condition as usual. This helps nourish and moisturise the scalp and prevents dry, frizzy hair.
You can use a regular shampoo on the days you are not using the antidandruff shampoo. Just make sure it is pretty mild and hydrating, At this point, harsh ingredients are the last thing you want to add to your hair care routine.
Be consistent in your hair care routine to prevent dandruff recurrence.
NOTHING WORKS – Include a probiotic supplement with Lactobacillus Paracasei is proven to have a positive effect in reducing dandruff. Probiotics are basically good bacteria that help maintain a healthy microbiome in our gut. This also helps with regulating the happy hormone, Serotonin which influences our mood and also strengthens our immune system.
You can get this naturally by including Sauerkraut(Pickled cabbage) in your diet. It is super easy to make this at home. Probiotics helped me a lot and that is exactly why I can’t stop recommending it to you.
📌 SAUERKRAUT RECIPE
👉MEASUREMENT

Warm milk – 1 Glass
Chilli with stem(fresh or dried) – 1 or 2
Leave it overnight to ferment. There you have it, Your live probiotic rich yogurt at home. I always use fresh ones but dried red chillies work just fine. The stems of chilli contains natural bacteria that act as starters for the whole fermentation process.
Summing Up..
Before concluding this Selsun Anti Dandruff Shampoo Review, I repeat this again and again in all my articles related to dandruff. I am going to say it again – Be consistent. Follow the recommended method of use mentioned on the bottle to a T. This is really important to get rid of dandruff completely and prevent recurrence.
Use moisturising hair masks to nourish your hair. Antidandruff shampoo can leave your hair dry, frizzy and damaged especially so, if you overuse it.
Do consult a dermatologist if over the counter products do not work for you or if you have uncontrollable hair loss.
