Not every anti-dandruff and anti-itch shampoo works in the same way. That's why we help you more quickly distinguish between dryness, excess sebum, and sensitivity, so you can choose a routine that truly suits your scalp.

Which shampoo suits your scalp?

Those looking for a shampoo for an itchy scalpand flakes usually benefit from a choice based on scalp type rather than just the word anti-dandruff.

For dry flakes

Dry flakes are often smaller, lighter, and more easily fall on clothing or shoulders. In this case, it's best to choose a purifying shampoo and care tailored for a dry scalp, without unnecessarily weighing it down, for example, a shampoo for a dry, itchy scalp.

A suitable choice within our range is Oway Purifying Hair Bath - Dry Scalps.

For oily flakes

Oily flakes usually stick more to the scalp or in the hair. In that case, Oway Purifyingis often more suitable than a general shampoo for dandruff and itch.

A targeted option is Oway Purifying Hair Bath - Oily Scalps.

For a sensitive, red, or irritated scalp

Does your scalp feel tight, is there redness, or is itching the biggest complaint? Then Oway Soothingmight be more beneficial than an intensely purifying formula. This way, you support comfort while gently cleansing the scalp.

Oway Soothing Hair Bath can be a suitable choice for this. Oway Soothing also aims to reduce irritation and itch.

How to recognise what your scalp needs

• Dry flakes: fine, dry flakes that come off easily
• Oily flakes: flakes that stick more to the hair or scalp
• Mainly itching and sensitivity: a tingling, red, or restless feeling without pronounced oily flaking

If you're unsure between several types, it's smart not only to look at the flakes but also at how your scalp feels after washing. A scalp that quickly feels tight, red, or sensitive usually requires a gentler approach. For personal advice, you can schedule a Scalp and Hair Analysis.

What can you expect from a shampoo for dandruff and itch?

A good shampoo for dandruff and itch helps reduce visible flakes, keep the scalp clean, and improve comfort. For a sensitive scalp, the focus is often more on soothing. For dryness or oilier flakes, it's more about restoring balance with an adapted cleansing.

It's important to use a shampoo consistently enough and not switch too quickly between different products. A routine that suits your scalp usually gives a clearer and calmer result than constantly experimenting.

More than just shampoo: when extra scalp care is useful

Do flakes and itch keep coming back, or does your scalp feel uncomfortable for a long time? Then extra care like Oway Rebalancingin addition to shampoo can be an added value. At SieroSanto, you can also opt for a Botanical Head Spa treatment, focused on itchy, irritated scalps and troublesome flakes, with a customised shampoo and serum.

This way, we combine product choice with personal guidance, so you don't have to keep guessing which care best suits your scalp.
