E45 Dry Scalp Shampoo Soothing & Hydrating for Dry, Itchy, Flaky Scalps 200 ml / 6.76 oz
E45 built its name on dry skin, and the scalp is skin. That is the logic behind this 200ml shampoo, which is formulated first for the scalp and second for the hair.
It cleanses gently, without the strong surfactants that leave a dry scalp feeling tighter after washing than before. The formula is dermatologically tested and works to keep the scalp comfortable, so the itchy, drawn feeling that builds through the week is less of a daily distraction. Surface dryness is less obvious when the scalp is not being stripped at every wash.
The hair benefits as a side effect rather than as the main event. Expect a clean, soft finish rather than a styling advantage.
Suits any hair type where the scalp is the reason you are shopping, and it is mild enough for regular use rather than being kept back for bad weeks.

Application tips
Use warm water rather than hot, because heat is what dries a scalp out in the first place.
Work a small amount into the roots with your fingertips and let it sit for a minute before you rinse, so it has time on the skin rather than the hair. Rinse thoroughly. Two or three washes a week suits most people; washing daily on a dry scalp tends to make matters worse.
Results
A dry scalp feels calm and comfortable after washing rather than tight, and the itchy feeling that builds between washes eases off.
Hair comes out clean without the stripped, strawy texture a harsher shampoo leaves, so the lengths still comb easily. Mild enough to use several times a week without the scalp feeling worse for it.
