What the gurus are saying

Gurus acknowledge the effectiveness of the active ingredient zinc pyrithione for dandruff control, but split on practical use. The consistent complaint is a heavy residue left on hair roots that feels unpleasant, making it better suited for at-home wear than daily wear. It works, but the texture trade-off limits appeal for many.

"Head and Shoulders leaves almost like a residue on my roots that bothers me a little bit so this one never gets used Monday through Friday. This one really gets used if I just know I'm going to be at home working out, really not going anywhere, not doing anything. My hair looks just fine with it, it's just how it feels to me."
