: If you suffer from a scaly scalp with some dry flaking, you most likely have seborrheic dermatitis or dandruff. Head and Shoulders offers a mild dandruff shampoo along with a mild hair conditioner. try that for starters, and then if still a problem , see your dermatologist for a formal evaluation and a more sophisticated treatment if needed.
