does this product treat dandruff or Is this just a temporary relief ?

Yes it works. It works fast and I only use it very lightly once every 6-8 weeks (if that). My first week, I used it 3 times -Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Then I didn't use it again for probably 3 weeks and then used it again only because I remembered. So during that time, no flakes, lot less itching. After that I opted to wait until I actually saw flakes or became itchy to use it again which was probably 2 months. Used it once and it took care of it again for another 8 weeks or so. Bottom line is it works. Doesn't stink. Doesn't weigh hair down. Don't have to use it often. For someone like me who had serious itching and dandruff (almost to point of scratching scars into my scalp), it was a miracle. BTW* I wash my hair 4 times per week (too much washing actually aggravates dandruff not to mention dry out your hair). Read up about how frequent you should wash, from the professionals and most will tell you every day washing is bad news. Believe me, your hair won't turn into a funky-gunky oily mess washing just 4 times per week.

I didn't stick with it long enough for that, but it is my understanding that dandruff is a problem that you have for the long hull. Head and Shoulders works like gangbusters. They have some pretty good scents with which to choose and you can choose the 2 in 1 variety or if you prefer to have shampoo and conditioner separates they have that too.

Hi, although I've used this shampoo for years I don't have dandruff so can't really say how it handles that. I can say it's all natural and very gentle - maybe that's not a good thing for dandruff! Good luck.

I just starting using Neutrogena's T-Gel shampoo. I've only been using it for about a week, but I can feel the difference. My scalp itches less than before.

Sorry, I haven't used it on my scalp. I used it on a callous for my pet, but it didn't help.

My hair is colored treated. I also use a lot of hair spray. This shampoo cleans my hair well and I don't notice that it harms my color. I don't have a lot of gray, however. It does relieve itching and sore scalp in addition to dandruff.

I'm not an expert by any means but because it's a dandruff shampoo it's still going to have active ingredients in it like Sulfur and Salicylic Acid which is what treats dandruff so you can't escape that. However, with that said, the rest of the ingredients seem to be alright and include herbs like Rosemary. As far as dandruff shampoos go, this is probably as close as you're going to get to chemical free unless you want to make your own home remedy.

It is a treatment, not shampoo or conditioner. It does not lather like shampoo, but is very thick like a paste. (ok, maybe not the best description though) However, I put it on after shampooing and let it stay on my hair for a few minutes like a conditioner. I gently rub into my scalp and feel the tingling. Also, the product in the smaller tube seems thicker than the larger bottle. Although more expensive per ounce, I will buy the smaller tube in the future.

I only have occasional outbreaks, so I don't use it often enough for it to do anything other than stop the dandruff. I'm 70 and my hair isn't as thick as it used to be, so wouldn't that be a lovely side effect.

I actually do both. I use it right after the shower in the morning and on a dry scalp at night. I don't think it matters really. I used to use the brand name and this was so much more affordable. I think he can do either and it should work.

Yes, it doesn't seem to make a difference. I think Nioxin 3 scalp treatment is a better product though, and that you use on your wet, washed scalp.

I haven't used it enough to really give you a good answer! My husband says he thinks it a "mental thing" that I just THINK I feel better after using it but I do feel that there is some relief within a few minutes - a bit tingly upon application (which he says is just distracting - sorry I'm so vague!)

I never put this product on my hair while wet. I only use it to shine my hair. I have pressed and flat ironed it while it was in my hair, but I did not have flakes. There is a solution that is in the same type of bottle but it is not the anti-breakage serum. I forgot what it was but I thought it was this product. When I saw it it was as lotion and dried like an awful dandruff. This serum is a clear thick oil that is not very greasy.

Since Eczema is basically dry skin, I really don't see why not. The problem is, it's probably designed for relatively small areas (I used it on a few smaller areas of my face). You could use a lot of it on your whole head and it might get pretty expensive. I'm sure you've probably already tried the usual anti-dandruff shampoos without much help. The MetaDerm seems to have natural ingredients on the tube, so I don't see how using it would have a bad effect on your scalp. I used it on a more sensitive skin area (face) with no irritation. Good Luck!

It doesn't fade my color any faster then any other dandruff shampoo that I've tried. If you're worried, I would just grab a good conditioner made for color treated hair to use after.

hi, well i use this almost everyday without problems, but sometimes i use it with another shampoo Jason Dandruff relief treatment! its so good too, because the both killed my dandruff and never appears again (i hope so)... I recomended the both to use combinated to the best treatment for me in this case.. :)

It didn't really help my dandruff issues, but maybe that's because I didn't use enough of it often enough. It's so expensive, I used it sparingly to make it last.
