I have dandruff and my hair gets build up pretty easily + gets oily quick, so I was struggling with finding a clarifying shampoo that was not stripping (seeing that I needed to wash my hair at least two times a week). Then I found this and I'm in love! I wouldn't say that it gets rid of dandruff, but it definitely helps in controlling it. Just a great gentle clarifying shampoo. 100% would recommend.
