Philip Kingsley Flaky/Itchy Scalp Hydrating Curl Anti-Dandruff Shampoo 250ml

Just like the skin on our face, our scalp has a protective barrier that keeps it healthy, balanced and resilient. But for those with dry or curly hair, this barrier is more easily disrupted. Less frequent washing, harsh ingredients and environmental stressors (like dry air or sun exposure) can all lead to compromised scalp health — triggering irritation, flaking and itchiness.

Enter Flaky/Itchy Scalp Hydrating Curl Anti-Dandruff Shampoo, specially formulated for curly hair, to help effectively cleanse the scalp without stripping moisture. Participants in our user trials agree — 100% reported it soothed, refreshed and calmed their scalp. What’s more, 100% reported their scalp felt less itchy*.

Scalp health is at the core of this shampoo, supporting and maintaining the natural barrier, and instantly soothing discomfort, reducing the recurrence of flakes over time. It will gently clear flakes and build-up, without drying out the hair or stripping it of moisture. In fact, 100% reported their hair was not dried out* and felt hydrated after use*.

To use: Use daily until your scalp is clear, and thereafter at regular intervals, as required. Apply to wet hair and lather well with a gentle kneading of the scalp for 60 seconds. Rinse and repeat, if necessary. Follow up with the appropriate Philip Kingsley Conditioner and Scalp Toner for flaky/itchy scalps.

Powered by antimicrobial Piroctone Olamine, as well as hydrating Betaine and Hydrolysed Vegetable Protein, it will nourish hair whilst targeting the scalp.

Flaky/Itchy Scalp Hydrating Curl Anti-Dandruff Shampoo is ideal for textured hair, from wavy to coily. Use as your main shampoo or alternate with the recommended shampoo for your hair texture, for an occasional deeper cleanse. Unlike other anti-dandruff shampoos, this one won’t dry out your hair or strip it of colour.

Philip Kingsley’s bottles and tubes are crafted from either sugarcane bioplastic or Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) plastic. Sugarcane bioplastic is the first plastic ever made from a fully renewable origin, and, even better than this, to make it they actually reduce the world’s carbon in the process. PCR plastic reuses single-use plastics (such as drinks bottles and packaging) which would otherwise be disposed of in landfill sites, greatly reducing landfill waste and plastic pollution. It also uses less energy and fossil fuels, protecting the environment from excess pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and overuse of resources.
