One of every two people will suffer from dandruff at some point in their lives, according to health agencies.

So it’s a common condition—but it can still cause embarrassment.

It can be combated with anti-dandruff shampoo, but a New York-based dermatologist has revealed where most people go wrong.

That special shampoo is fine, but if you’re using it you shouldn’t follow up with regular conditioner. 

“Unilever has done studies on this, and they found that when people use dandruff shampoo, specifically ones with zinc pyrithione, and they use a beauty conditioner afterwards they can rinse away up to 50 per cent of the flake-fighting effects of the medicated shampoo,” Francesca Fusco, the dermatologist, told Women’s Health.

Instead, use a medicated conditioner with the anti-dandruff shampoo.

She recommends CLEAR Complete Care Nourishing Anti-Dandruff Shampoo paired with the CLEAR Anti-Dandruff Conditioner.
