T/Gel to the rescue
I’m gonna put this available as well as state that I believe dandruff shampoo is quickly top three least attractive beauty products. I mean, shiny patent-leather lipgloss or dandruff shampoo: which is a sexier conversation starter?

Dandruff happens, though, as well as I get it every when in a while, usually around this time around of year as well as during winter. With the cooler weather, my scalp’s been going nuts. It’s flake city.

Enter today’s unsung hero, my old standby, Neutrogena T/Gel Shampoo original formula (there are a few different versions).

It’s the only dandruff shampoo that truly works for me, as well as I understand this since I ran out last month as well as decided to try some other dandruff shampoos, as well as nothing — NOTHING! — worked in addition to T/Gel did for me.

What’s an unsung makeup hero? For me, it’s an usually underrated makeup morsel, a long-term collection product that scoots under the radar screen of many makeup enthusiasts however routinely rocks my world. The long-running Unsung Heroes series features a few of my favorites.

This caramel-colored shampoo smells like Ricola Cough Drops. The scent is kind of clinical as well as medicinal, which some people may even phone call stinky, however I’ve grown to appreciate the scent over the 10+ years I’ve utilized it.

Trying those other dandruff shampoos made me recognize that there’s a great deal available that just doesn’t work for me. T/Gel works instantly — like, right after the very first shampoo. My scalp feels clean, doesn’t itch, as well as the flakiness — which I was seeing mainly around my hairline right near my bangs — is totally gone. My roots don’t feel greasy or coated with product, either, which occurred after I utilized the other anti-dandruff shampoos. After T/Gel, my scalp as well as hair feel really, truly clean. AHHHHH!

I utilize it on my roots, as well as I don’t take it from the roots to the ends, since I just don’t feel like that’s necessary. I coat the mid-shaft as well as ends with the conditioner first, as well as then work T/Gel into my roots. then I leave it in while I shave, sing as well as believe about cats… So, usually three or four minutes. then I rinse it out.

I don’t believe you have to wait like that, however I type of feel like it provides the medicine a bit more time to work. I dunno…

Afterward, the flakes are gone, as well as my scalp feels much better.

I truly like this stuff. We’ve been together for at least 10 years, as well as we’re still going strong.
