Back in the day, I was struggling a lot with dandruff when an angel sent from heaven (read my go-to hair stylist) recommended a wonderful shampoo to me that sorted out my scalp within a few weeks! This product was the Loreal Professionnel Instant Clear Shampoo, which is the only product I trust till date to get rid of any dandruff that may appear on my head from time to time.
This shampoo is from the Loreal Professionnel range and is targeted for those with normal to oily hair. It contains Zinc pyrithione which is a commonly used antimicrobial/antifungal agent that is used to treat dermatitis, and Citric Acid which is known to work wonders against dandruff. It has a lovely light blue color and the usual shampoo consistency. It lathers up really well and you will need the tiniest amount of this product for every wash. Within a couple of weeks of using this product, I always notice a drastic reduction in my dandruff and within a month, it manages to eliminate all traces of dandruff from my scalp. Once I am completely dandruff-free, I use this shampoo just once a month to avoid the dandruff from reappearing. No other product has ever worked so well on my scalp.
Coming to the possible cons of the shampoo, it does have strong citrusy+perfumy scent that may irk a few people although I love it. It also can be quite drying, so you must not use it more than once a week, which is what was recommended by my hair stylist as well. If you have dry hair then this product may make the situation worse, but if you have normal to oily hair and do not use too much of the shampoo in one go, you will definitely see the benefits.
This shampoo is priced at INR 575 for a 250ml bottle, which is pretty reasonable considering that it is a salon range and that you only need to use this once a week. As you can probably gauge from my ravings, I am head over heels in love with the shampoo and can’t recommend it enough, however, everybody’s scalp and hair are different, so test it out on your hair to see if it works as well for you. And when you do, do let me know in the comments below whether my recommendation worked for you or not!
Great review!
