I’m fine immediately after showering, but it’s a mini-snowstorm if I go through my hair in the morning having showered the night before. Been that way for years, but far better than it was back when I used “anti-dandruff” shampoos that just made it worse. Hair is short, doesn’t feel oily or only slightly. Happens across a variety of shampoos I’ve tried, though I’ll admit I haven’t looked beyond the 3-in-1 body wash shampoo combos. Sorry if this is a bit unappealing. Anyone else have a sort of “baseline” amount of dandruff? Or found a solution to this?

    I feel a little relieved to stop using it, tbh. Every time I read the label, I couldn’t help but think it must be bad. I’ve found that Head and Shoulders is enough to keep flakes in check (it wasn’t before the T-Gel), so I’m just worrying about that now. 😂

        If you like the weird scent of coal tar—I’m not judging, I do too—you might also like pine tar soap. Pine tar serves much the same function in soaps as coal tar, so that’s a bonus as well.

        It’s clearly a scent derived from pines, not coal, but it appeals to my nose in much the same way. They’re both in the same family of weirdness.
