1 year agoTLDR: Nizoral + your preferred curly shampoo
I recently learned that the ‘proper’ way to wash with dandruff shampoo is to massage it into your scalp (without actively trying to clean the rest of the hair), leave it for 5 min, rinse and then wash the rest of your hair with a different shampoo. I end up putting on that second shampoo, Shea Moisture daily hydration for me, kind of like you would with conditioner, avoiding the roots. I use nizoral now for dandruff control, but I’ve also done it with coal tar shampoo (also appreciate that it gets rid of some of the smell).
For reference, I have relatively fine, thick 3A curls with some heat damage.
I saw Manes by Mel use this in one of her vids and have been thinking of getting one. I use a Wet brush now and am reasonably happy with it.
I’m so happy to have found this new curly community! I’ve felt so stranded (lol, sorry) since leaving Reddit a month ago.
