I love Selsun Blue. I use this dandruff shampoo about once a month because my boyfriend has had the same bottle of Selsun Blue for at least a year now, and we both will use it only when we start to notice more dandruff flakes coming off our scalp. I don’t really care for the smell or the ridiculous blue color of the shampoo, but I’ll tell you what, if you have dandruff and itchy scalp, NOTHING remedies dandruff like Selsun Blue does.
I’ve tried other dandruff shampoos througout my life when I’ve had problems with an itchy, dry and flaky scalp, like Denorex and Head and Shoulders, but nothing does the trick like Selsun blue on my dandruff. Like I said, I’m not so sure it would be something I’d use more often than once a month, because it’s not really meant as a hair therapy, but more as a dandruff and scalp therapy, which may not be good when used long term for the actual hair on your head.
It’s got an ingredient in it called Selenium Sulfide Lotion at a 1% concentration, and I think this formula is what makes all the difference between Selsun and it’s dandruff shampoo competitors. It also contains Aloe and other moisturizing agents, and I do notice my hair has a bit of shine to it when I’ve used it.
It also boasts that it’s doctor recommended, whatever that means. It must just be that dermatologists recommend this to their patients with dry scalp or dandruff. You do have to be careful not to get Selsun Blue in your eyes, as it will irritate them badly, so rinse thoroughly and keep your eyes closed when doing so. Selsun Blue Dandruff Shampoo is made by a company called Chattem out of Chattanooga TN.
