What shampoo brand do you recommend for dandruff?

I have been dealing with this dandruff situation for quite a while now and I still can't seem to figure out how to get rid of this problem. I have tried several shampoo brands/products like head and shoulders, ANGFA organic shampoo and the Honey Deep Moist Shampoo. And none of them worked so far. Some say it's because of hot shower. Well I do shower every day, but I don't use hot shower all the time. I rinse my hair thoroughly after applying shampoo and conditioner. I also tried applying shampoo every other day just to make my hair less dry but I still none of those tricks are working. If there is a product that you recommend that suits every man's budget then I would appreciate it so much.

    I use a brand called Success. However, I had dandruff for the longest time too until I tried just soaking the shampoo in for a longer time before washing it off.

    My husband likes the Head and Shoulders men's scalp care variety, you can find it on Amazon Japan and despite being called "men's scalp care" I think it's suitable for anyone. It has a nice smell and isn't too expensive.

    @PDecs Thank you for the tip. I will try that method for a week or two and we'll see. :)

    Curel's line of moisture care including the shampoo might do the trick. I've used Merit shampoo in the dry winter months and had some relief. You can also go to a dermatologist to ask for advice.

    That's actually a great tip from ToneToEdo, since some scalp conditions look like dandruff but they're not actually dandruff, like dermatitis. If you've already tried a number of anti-dandruff shampoos without any success, the dermatologist route would be a good next step IMO.

    @genkidesu Yes, that will definitely be my last option. I will just have to try all of your recommended products first before I seek help from a dermatologist. I appreciate all your tips and suggestions.

    I've nothing to suggest currently, but I've noticed my eldest daughter has dandruff quite bad at the moment - ever since pool season started. So I'm taking note of the suggestions! Thanks for posting.

  • Hey @ekimsaido Same problem. Ever since I moved to Japan, I started experiencing dandruff—something I never had back in my home country.

    @TheMuggleWriter1997 Yeah. Their suggestions were really helpful.

  • I suspect it’s due to the water quality and the constant need to use a heater, especially during the cold seasons.

  • The dryness caused by hot water might be making my scalp flaky.

Reflections on our home countries after living in Japan

I think one thing living in Japan has given me is an appreciation of things my country does really well, and things it doesn't do so well in comparison to here. For instance, I think Australia is great with annual leave entitlements. You get four weeks automatically (some workplaces offer even more!) and there's not any guilt associated with taking it. Something we don't do so well is public transport. I know that Australia is a massive country, but there has been talk of creating a high speed rail option from Melbourne to Sydney for ages, and nothing has ever come of it. It's basically an 8 hour drive or flying. Also, inner city trains are regularly not on time. What are the things you think your home country does better or worse than Japan?

Hair Color Treatments for Greying Hair

For those of you who have colored grey hair, I'm curious about the hair color treatments available in most drugstores. They seem simpler to use than box dyes. It's been many years since I've colored my hair. It's a chestnut brown and my grey is more silver. I don't hate it but the grey is dry and making me feel like I look older than I am. I'm especially interested in the natural brands that are non-permanent. For example Rishiri Kombu sounds like a decent option. Looking forward to your recommendations and experience.
