Dandruff & Itchy Scalp Shampoos

An itchy, flaky or uncomfortable scalp can have a number of causes, so choosing the right shampoo starts with understanding what your scalp needs.

At Evergreen, you'll find shampoos for dandruff and itchy scalps from trusted hair care brands, including natural, gentle and more targeted formulas for different scalp concerns.

Choosing a Shampoo for Dandruff

If dandruff is your main concern, look for a shampoo specifically formulated for flaky scalps. Some anti-dandruff shampoos are designed to cleanse away visible flakes, while others focus on helping to keep the scalp feeling balanced and comfortable.

Check the individual product information to see which formula is best suited to your scalp and how often it should be used.

Shampoo for an Itchy Scalp

An itchy scalp does not always mean dandruff. Dryness, sensitivity, product build-up and changes in your scalp can all contribute to itching or discomfort. If itching is your main concern, you may prefer a gentle shampoo suited to dry, sensitive or easily irritated scalps rather than choosing a dandruff shampoo automatically.

Dry, Itchy Scalp

If your scalp feels both dry and itchy, choose a shampoo that cleanses without leaving the scalp feeling stripped. You may also want to avoid washing with very hot water and consider how often you shampoo, as both can affect how the scalp feels.

Natural Anti-Dandruff Shampoo

Evergreen stocks a range of shampoos made with naturally derived ingredients, botanical extracts and plant-based cleansing ingredients. If you are looking for a natural anti-dandruff shampoo, check the product description and ingredient list rather than assuming every natural shampoo is suitable for dandruff.

Sensitive or Easily Irritated Scalp

If your scalp is sensitive as well as itchy, a simpler formula may be preferable. Look for shampoos specifically suited to sensitive scalps and check fragrance and ingredient information if you know particular ingredients do not suit you.

You can also explore our Sensitive Scalp collection if sensitivity is your main concern rather than dandruff.

Dandruff and an Oily Scalp

Dandruff can occur alongside an oily scalp as well as a dry one. If your roots become oily quickly, look for a shampoo that cleanses the scalp effectively without choosing an unnecessarily heavy formula. Our Oily Hair range may also be helpful if oiliness is your primary concern.

What About an Itchy Scalp During Menopause?

Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can coincide with changes in skin and scalp dryness or sensitivity. A gentle shampoo and a simple hair-care routine may feel more comfortable if your scalp has become drier or more sensitive.

If scalp symptoms are persistent, severe or accompanied by significant hair loss or inflammation, it is worth speaking to a healthcare professional.

Should You Use Conditioner?

Conditioner is usually applied mainly to the lengths and ends of the hair rather than directly to the scalp. Choose a conditioner suited to your hair type and use it alongside your chosen scalp shampoo where needed.

If your scalp is particularly sensitive, check the product instructions before applying conditioners, treatments or styling products close to the roots.

Dandruff, Itching or Something Else?

Flaking, dryness, itching and scalp irritation can look similar, but they are not always caused by the same thing. If you're unsure what is causing persistent scalp symptoms, or if the scalp is very sore, inflamed or worsening, seek advice from a pharmacist, GP or other healthcare professional.
