Stopping The Flakes

The easiest way to remove dandruff flakes from your hair is by simply washing them away faster than they can shed and be replaced. In mild cases of dandruff, this can be accomplished to a certain degree by washing your hair more frequently. In moderate or more severe cases of dandruff, this method is not very effective because it doesn't address the actual cause of the problem - the Pityrosporum ovale (P. ovale) fungus.

Currently, there are a wide variety of creams, lotions and shampoos available to combat the symptoms of dandruff. These include products containing salicylic acid, coal tar, zinc pyrithione, selenium sulphide and sulfur. While some are classified as over-the-counter medications and others are classified as cosmetics, most treat the symptoms of dandruff but only one can claim to kill the fungus - NIZORAL* Shampoo.

NIZORAL* Shampoo contains ketoconazole - an active ingredient clinically proven to get to the root of your dandruff problem. It actually kills the P. ovale fungus that causes dandruff. And because NIZORAL* doesn't contain tar, you won't experience the unpleasant smell commonly associated with tar-based shampoos. With NIZORAL*, you'll enjoy a fresh, clean fragrance, rich lather and, best of all, hair that's shiny, manageable... and dandruff free.
