“Is it snowing outside?”, it’s the dreaded question we’ve all heard. If you haven’t been asked this consider yourself lucky, but for many of us dandruff is a real problem. For that reason we’ve tried and tested a whole host of anti-dandruff products in order to determine which is the best anti dandruff shampoo for men.
What Causes Dandruff?
Before we talk products, we thought we’d give you a quick reminder that dandruff is very common and affects around 50% of people. It’s generally occurs in people with an oily complexion, and tends to appear more when hair isn’t washed on a regular basis (at least 2-3 times a week), but can also be caused by dryness. In most cases, frequent use of anti-dandruff shampoo should be enough to leave your hair looking nourished and free of those white flakes.
