Affirm Dandruff Control Shampoo with Oregano for Healthy Scalp & Hair 8 oz
Flaking tends to show up on the shoulders before you notice it on the scalp. This is a wash-day shampoo aimed squarely at that, built around oregano with zinc pyrithione in the formula, in an 8 oz bottle.
What it does is cleanse. Loose flakes, dead skin and product build-up lift away and rinse off, and the wash leaves the scalp feeling clean and comfortable rather than tight. Affirm sit at the professional end of the market, so the formula is designed to work alongside relaxed and chemically treated hair rather than fight with it.
Massage it in with fingertips, not nails, and give it a minute before rinsing. Scrubbing a dry scalp harder usually makes the feel of it worse.
If flaking is persistent, or the scalp is sore, that is a conversation for a pharmacist or your GP rather than another shampoo.

Application tips
Two washes. The first lifts oil and product, the second does the work, so leave that lather sitting on the scalp for three minutes before rinsing.
Fingertips only, in small circles across the whole scalp rather than just the patch that bothers you. Twice a week to start. Follow with a conditioner on the lengths, since a clarifying wash leaves them thirsty.
Results
Visible flakes lift away with the rinse and the scalp feels clean rather than coated. Build up at the roots comes off, which is often what was making the hair look dull and lie flat.
Hair keeps body afterwards. It is a proper cleanse without the waxy feel of a heavy shampoo, and the oregano leaves the scalp feeling fresh for a good while after.
