What is Reddit's opinion of Jason Dandruff Relief Treatment Shampoo, 12 Fl. Oz (Pack of 1) - Packaging May Vary?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

OK sounds like seborrheic dermatitis. Diet isn't going to cure it. Medication will. The good news is there a long list to choose from. If one doesn't work then another one might.

• Antifungal shampoo. Nizoral would be the best choice. You can get the OTC stuff or you can get prescription strength. Use as directed. It works well.
• Sulfur shampoo. This also works very well. Jason's makes a sulfur/salicylic acid shampoo. You can get it on Amazon but I have seen it locally as well. Make sure you get the one with sulfur, they have some other similar ones but they don't have sulfur. https://www.amazon.com/Natural-Cosmetics-Dandruff-Shampoo-Rosemary/dp/B000FGDIAS
• Salicylic acid shampoo. Neutrogena makes T-Sal. It's colorless.
• Coal tar shampoo. Neutrogena T-Gel is one. It also conditions your hair but it's not great for blond hair.
• Selenium shampoo. Selsun Blue is one.
• Zinc shampoo. Head and Shoulders or equivalent.
• Tea tree oil shampoo. But you've tried this and it doesn't work.

All of these things can dry your hair out a lot. So you may want to try a leave in conditioner or a detangler. Kids' detangler works for me.

I have had this feeling too. Do you also have dandruff? I’m not sure how related they are, but I’ve been using an over the counter dandruff shampoo and the pain has stopped since using it.

Best thing is medicated shampoo. There is quite a choice, but I think the sulfur ones work best:

• Jason anti dandruff shampoo, it contains sulfur and salicylic acid. Should be easy to find and it's on Amazon as well. Just read the reviews, people seem to like it. Note that Jason has a couple of products, this is the one you want.

• Nizoral, either OTC or Rx strength, it is an antifungal.

• Neutrogena T-Sal, active ingredient is salicylic acid

• Neutrogena T-Gel, active ingredient is coal tar. Has a smoky smell to it. Tends to condition the hair as well.

• Selsun blue

You can build up a tolerance to a particular type of shampoo. I would stick with one type for a while and see how it goes.

Jason’s is anti drandruff and is CG friendly. When I stopped using Head and shoulders (even just on my roots not even the rest of my hair) I saw a huge improvement to the health of my curls. It’s $10 on Amazon.

Dandruff is often due to a fungal infection. Like any other infection it can become resistant to a particular treatment. It may also not be regular dandruff, it may be seborrheic dermatitis which is tough to fix. If something doesn't work try something with a different active ingredient.

• Sulfur shampoo. Jason's anti dandruff shampoo contains sulfur and salicylic acid. Sulfur works really well.
• Nizoral antifungal shampoo. Comes in OTC or Rx strength. Also works really well.
• Neutrogena T-Sal is a salicylic acid shampoo.
• Neutorgena T-Gel is a coal tar shampoo. Coal tar is also a conditioner.
• Head and Shoulders is zinc shampoo.
• Selsun Blue is a selenium shampoo.
• Tea tree oil shampoo. (I know you tried it, I have included it for anyone else who reads this.)
• You can get something like Scalpicin to apply as a topical. It's salycylic acid.

If it is seborrheic dermatitis a dermatologist can help you.

Not AB but my go to anti-dandruff and scalp healer hair product is a shampoo from Jason. I've been using this one or twice a week since 2010. 7 Years and it's the only product that calms my scalp. However, if you're not into herbal/medicinal smell, then you won't like this. This smells like tea tree with mint and a slight hint of sulfur and can stick to the hair for a a few hours so I use it only at night.

Ah. I had some issues with it on my scalp as well, and this shampoo really helped. Mine was fairly mild on my scalp, though. I've used a sulfur-based treatment for my horse's skin issues for years, yet it didn't occur to me until recently that it could help me, too.

My boyfriend has horrible dandruff and psoriasis on his scalp and some spots on his back and chest. I bought him Jason Natural Dandruff shampoo and it works amazingly. He even puts it on his spots on his chest and back and they are now very light pink in color and not flakey anymore. It's about $10-12. It doesn't smell great but you can follow it up with a conditioner that's more pleasant.

I wash my hair every 2-4 days with Blonde Sexy Hair shampoo and Jason Dandruff Relief shampoo. I leave in the Jason shampoo a few minutes to let the salicylic acid do its thing. I have found that using both of these products every time I shampoo does a good job at keeping itchiness and dandruff away. I follow up with TRESemme Nourish & Replenish conditioner, leaving that in a minute or so before rinsing. Then I pat dray with a towel, put in Moroccan oil and curl sculpt, and let it air dry.

The paraben/sulfate free dandruff I use is Jason! Umm sorry, I’m on mobile lol https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000FGDIAS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_2.0dFb382GZ2B It’s also at target online, for $5 cheaper! Shop around.

I do not use conditioner. My hair is really fine but thick, and conditioner tends to weigh it down. I will use conditioner once in a blue moon, also paraben/sulfate free. This is the one I have, but I got it on clearance at Walmart. It’s nice, but it’s for my hair on occasion, and does nothing for my scalp. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076HNNV4L/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_mc1dFbVT12WAZ

I let the shampoo sit long enough to basically shave and scrub a dub dub the rest of me.

In my personal experience, I am always going to recommend avoiding sulfate shampoo if you’ve got scalp issues. Legit, the difference was night and day. I will never ever go back.

It helps a lot. The redness is thin skin (your blood showing through). So if you can relieve it some, it’ll help. I’ll admit that it’s a problem I haven’t had to focus on a lot, because I have darker skin. I tend to focus more on stopping the flakes and the pain. The flakes show up waaaayyyy too contrasted with my skin haha

If you’re wanting to try the new routine without breaking the bank, email some companies and see if they’ll send you a foil packet to try. The scalp scrubber is only a few bucks on amazon (I have the purple one) and that super helps with flakes and pain, so if you don’t do the shampoo routes at all, I’d at least do that.

I have really dry, flakey, itchy scalp problems. The Jason Brand of shampoo has been so helpful for me I am very happy with it and would recommend it.

This works pretty well for me.

I use Jason's https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FGDIAS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I highly doubt that Solimo is CF. It just does not align with Amazon's stance at all; Amazon is all about doing things as cheap as possible with as much profit as possible. Plus... they don't even care about the safety/wellbeing of their employees, so I highly doubt they care about animals. Until a reliable 3rd party confirms it, I wouldn't trust what they claim.

​

Vegan and CF coal tar shampoo doesn't seem to exist. I've searched high and low. :( The closest thing I could find is Heritage Store - Pine Tar Shampoo, which focuses more on healthy scalps than dandruff removal.

​

There are other options for dandruff shampoo such as Jāsön - Dandruff Relief, which contains salicylic acid and sulfur. Or options from Derma E, Avalon, Paul Mitchell Tea Tree (cult classic).

​

It's just one of the few products where we have very limited choices as vegan. It's really frustrating. Dandruff can actually be caused by a fungus on your scalp (most common) or dryness. If it's fungus then most of these milder options won't work. In the case of it being chronic or fungus related I would treat it like I would any medical issue and use the products I need even if that means they may not be cruelty free or vegan.

I used to be like that - mess up or miss a day and it'd be so itchy and the skin would be so tight and I'd scratch and bleed and pull out my hair.

There's been a couple of things that have stopped that though. First was paraben/sulfate free shampoo (MAJOR reason), and the second was understanding the weather.

I use a combo of dandruff shampoo, coal tar shampoo, and regular stuff to keep my scalp psoriasis at bay. My routine is like this:

Daily: use the daily shampoo (I use L'Oreal Ever line )

Twice a week: I use a dab of the daily plus a dandruff shampoo (I use Jäson )

Once a week: I use a dab of daily plus the coal tar shampoo (not many choices here, so I just use this one )

Whenever I remember, I use a scalp scrubby too, like this weird thingie )

I use the medicinal shampoos with the dab of daily for two reasons - medicine shampoo doesn't lather well, and you're right - it smells terrible. The daily shampoo helps with that.

I can't actually get medicine to my scalp because I'm a girl with longer hair. I'd have to find someone willing to do it for me, and so I go without.

As for the weather bit, it depends on where you live. During the summer, Missouri gets to be HUMID. Air so thick you can cut it with a butter knife. During the winter however, it's SO DRY. ugh its dry. I use a humidifier because otherwise I can't breathe at night dry. This dryness also means that I skip showering/washing my head every other day. That gives my scalp time for the natural oils to come back and give me some relief. I also work in a corporate environment and I just pull my hair back. Even if you can only manage that on the weekends, give it a try.

Do note that these are what works for me. It absolutely does not clear it, but it maintains the size and spread of the problem. It also keeps it a lot more comfortable than it used to be. No more scars, no more bleeding, no more pus, no more bald spots where I was pulling out my hair. :)

I love this

I've been using JASON Natural Cosmetics Dandruff Relief Shampoo. It's inexpensive and does the job quite well. Make sure he uses some kind of conditioner to restore moisture. I alternate between this and Peppermint Tea Tree Shampoo from Eden Bodyworks. My hair is very thick and I have a dry scalp so I have to shampoo fairly regularly. I also use a shampoo brush to make sure I really get everything out.

I love this

comment content: Probably because they have something else that is supposed to help.

For what it's worth (if you're looking), I use Jason once a week, and L'Oreal in between. They don't hurt my head, but they don't necessarily reduce the coverage area either.

After years of trying every dandruff shampoo available in stores I discovered Jason and I havent had a flake since.

Edit: I did try Tea Tree oil shampoos at various times, including Nature's Gate which is pretty well reviewed. None worked well enough for me

Sure do! :)

My derm actually told me to try coconut oil to help stretch the steroid foam she prescribed. It was a new medicine at the time and it was crazy expensive per can and she thought I'd need to refill a few times a year.

You can sub in any oil that his skin likes (olive oil, etc.). The oils help with the silvery patches.

If he has scalp psoriasis the best shampoo I ever used for it was jaason dandruff shampoo https://www.amazon.com/Natural-Cosmetics-Dandruff-Shampoo-Rosemary/dp/B000FGDIAS

It has a strong smell when hair is wet so I ultimately had to stop using it. The best unscented shampoo I've found is honeyskin https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B013HLLGL0/ref=sxts1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1481089258&sr=1 . They also make a cream I want to try.

Snail goop has really really helped. I put it on my face twice a day and on big bites, scratches etc. I usually put recovery gel on top of snail hoop. I've used mizon and scinic snail.

For my hands I use coconut oil, followed by shea butter followed by lanolin daily.

When I have a scale forming I put snail down first.

I eat avocado a few times a week.

I'm looking at the guerisson cream but I have to research it more for cruelty/ ethical reasons. I'm already using a horse product ( kikamasamune if I read that recent post right)

For me the big things were to keep my hands from getting wet/ chapped. Every time I get s psoriasis flare on my hands it takes months to heal. I pretty much wear work gloves or vinyl exam gloves year round while I'm doing chores.

I also avoid anything that can give me a friction burn. I had a horrible psoriasis patch on my coochie once from a friction burn. Long story short we never tried that particular thing again.

The best advice I have is learn what triggers flare ups. It's taken me years to build my list.

I desperately needed to take counter actions because I didn't want to take the immune suppressing pills my derm wanted me to take. Anything that has cancer as a side effects is a last choice only in my book.

Do you mean this? It's awfully expensive. :(

This whole search has been pretty frustrating, because it seems like all sulfate-free dandruff shampoos either contain a) no actual FDA-approved dandruff medicine, and/or b) a whole bunch of stuff that seems to only be there to justify charging more. I found this one that contains salicylic acid, and while it's not quite as expensive as the Regenepure, it's got quite a few ingredients that I could do without.

There's been a couple of things that have helped me a lot. First was paraben/sulfate free shampoo (MAJOR reason), and the second was figuring out the weather.

I use a combo of dandruff shampoo, coal tar shampoo, and regular stuff to keep my scalp psoriasis at bay. My routine is like this:

Twice a week: I use a dab of the daily plus a dandruff shampoo (I use Jäson ).

Once a week: I use a dab of daily plus the coal tar shampoo (not many choices here, so I just use this one ).

One of the things that has helped me a lot more than I thought it would is a scalp scrubby, like this weird thingie. I used to use it once in a while, when I remembered, but now I use it daily. I don't know what it does, but it helps SO MUCH. I can tell when I skip a day using it. It's become such a necessity that I got a travel one.

I use the medicinal shampoos with the dab of daily for two reasons - medicine shampoo doesn't lather well, and it smells terrible. The daily shampoo helps with that.

I can't actually get medicine to my scalp because I'm a girl with longer hair. I'd have to find someone willing to do it for me, and so I go without.
