Selsun Selenium Sulfide Topical Suspension Shampoo Review

By Pallavi

Hii Girlies,

I normally suffer from dry skin issues. And with dry skin there are a number of other associated issues too. Dandruff is one of the major concerns of dry hairs. Now, who likes white patches on hair. It looks so yakkks and unclean. I suffer from dandruff hair issues all round the year. Some people suffer from dandruff only in winters but i am a poor soul who has to face this issue always.

So, i came to a conclusion that i will shampoo my hair every alternate day after proper oiling. This time when i went home my mother gave me this lotion and told that this one is the holy grail for dandruff. So, i decided to give it a try and here follows the review.

Price : Rs. 204.76 for 120 ml

Ingredients : Selenium sulfide 2.5%; bentonite, citric acid, cocoamphocarboxyglycinate, ethylene glycol monostearate, fragrance, glycerol monoricinoleate, lauramide DEA, sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium phosphate (monobasic), titanium dioxide, and water.

Directions for use: take some 3-4 drops of the hair lotion depending on your hair length and volume. Now, dilute the same with winter so that it easily spreads on your hairs. Now, apply the lotion on your entire hair covering the hair scalp and length. After 15-20 minutes your hair will turn dry. Now, you can rinse it with water.

Company claims: A liquid antiseborrheic, antifungal preparation for topical application. Selenium sulfide has the molecular formula SeS2 and has a molecular weight of 143.09

My experience with Selenium Sulfide topical suspension shampoo:

The lotion comes in a small sized white bottle which has the details inscribed on it. The bottle has a cap at the top. You need to twist the cap so that the lotion comes out. The lotion is thick yellow in colour which smells heavily of chemicals. You need to dilute it with water so that it spreads easily on the hair.

The first time when i applied this lotion on my hair, my hair also smelt of medicines and chemicals. All those 15-20 minutes that i left this lotion on my hair it felt heavily of chemicals. My hairs turned completely stiff after some time. But once when i washed it the hair felt incredibly soft. Yes, they were not that free flowing but the stickiness vanished from my hair. But if you oil then don’t expect this lotion to remove the oil. And if you do, then make sure you apply a regular cleansing shampoo after that in order to remove the build up from the hair.

I started using hair lotion once every week. Within 1 month my dandruff considerably got reduced. So, once you finish this hair lotion, your dandruff issues will get resolved. But the same story repeats when you stop using this one. so, it’s just a temporary and not a permanent solution.

Pros of Selenium Sulfide topical suspension shampoo:

1. Takes care of dandruff

2. Easy to use

3. Spreds easily on hairs once diluted with water

Cons of Selenium Sulfide topical suspension shampoo:

1. Loaded with chemicals

2. Does not give freshly shampooed hair

3. Temporary solution to your dandruff issues

Rating – 1/5

Editor’s Note: Umm, so this works but it is a temporary solution. Alteast they could have made the smell bearable :/ Nice review Pallavi.

What do you use for dandruff? Have you tried Selsun shampoo?

Head & Shoulders Nourishing Winter Care Anti- Dandruff Shampoo Review

Head & Shoulders Nourishing Winter Care Anti- Dandruff Shampoo Review

Hey guys,

I am so sorry for not posting much. I have got a bit lazy with all the resting. Also I have started watching the Hip Hip Hurray series again..do you remember? Finished half..loving it!

Come winters, dandruff becomes my main hair concern :/ The dry climate only worsens the scalp. I am glad I got to try an Anti Dandruff Shampoo at the right time. I started using it in Jan, now since summers have started, its not too much of an issue though. I use this once a week now.

Remember the contest I had hosted HERE, I myself was trying this shampoo out and here is the review

Head & Shoulders Nourishing Winter Care Anti- Dandruff Shampoo for Women

What the Company claims: Richly indulgent anti-dandruff shampoo for dry damaged or frizzy hair. Leaves hair up to 100% dandruff free. Gentle enough for everyday use even for color or chemically treated hair. Formulated with Head & Shoulders’ Fresh Scent Technology featuring enhanced fragrance notes for an improved in-shower scent experience.

MRP: Rs.163/- for 170ml

Claims,Directions,Ingredients:

Its a blue and white colored slightly curved on the top bottle packaging with a flip cap. The shampoo is creamy white in color and smells amazing!

It lathers well and is not even that drying as the other anti-dandruff shampoos I have tried (even Head & Shoulders variants)

I definitely saw a reduction in my dandruff and it was not too harsh on the hair too.

Overall hair was soft and smooth and it reduces hair fall caused by breakage of hair. Also less dryness,which is the first for me, in an anti- dandruff shampoo. Worked great for me. Definitely recommend! If you do not have too much of a dandruff issue, you can use it once a week. I have switched to using it once a week now.

But even when I was using it everyday, I did not experience any extra hair fall as such. I liked the Nourishing  Winter Care.
