The Best Shampoos For Dry Scalp
Anyone suffering from a dry scalp could tell you that picking up any old shampoo just isn’t in the cards. There are very few products on the market which are sensitive enough to use on a dry scalp every day without over-drying the rest of your hair. These shampoos are packed with essential vitamins which soothe an irritable scalp and put a stop to dandruff without over-treating the ends.
