Whatever is going on with my skin made my scalp itch and itch and itch. It was so bad sweating would trigger the itch. Using this shampoo definitely helped me as far as all the itching. It didn't do anything for the dandruff and dry skin, but I'm happy I'm not scratching my head raw anymore. I condition mid length to tips and my hair is completely soft from root to tip. Doesn't dry my hair out.
