What Shampoo And Conditioner Brands Are Best For Scalp Psoriasis?
I have found that conditioning with eucalyptus and mint is very helpful. I buy two kinds and mix them. Or I have mixed a couple drop of essential oils into my favorite conditioner. I don’t shampoo but a couple times a month. I use a dab of Head and Shoulders with eucalyptus when I do shampoo.
I recently in past month have been using RHRI folliculitis shampoo medicated it has made my head and hair happy and my skin. Amazon buy with hair comb stimulator included and it helps, it is soft to the touch, easy on head.
Everyone has different preferences. 🙂
Hi @A MyPsoriasisTeam Member, it depends on the individual and how sensitive their scalp is and what type of psoriasis it is, I like the MG217 coal tar and DHS brand coal tar. They each have other products like gel vs creamy shampoo, salicylic acid etc. There are pine tar ones too i believe. I tend to moisturize my whole scalp and ears the night before with Hollywood Beauty carrot oil root moisturizer hair lotion, i use it to loosen up any ‘dry’ skin or scales so the coal tar can get deeper to the skin surface. I sometimes soak the shampoos for several hours or overnight depending on how much has come back. The coal tar ones usually do smell like tar, like highway blacktop. So after ‘mostly’ rinsing i also do a quick shampoo after with my regular shampoo for better smell but not rub it into the scalp to prevent removing the tar completely off rinsing again. Then i always condition and detangle my hair with Pantene leave in combing creme because i have thin and very ‘long’ hair like in your picture. Your hair and scalp may require very different things and it really boils down to trial and error, like or dislike unfortunately. Other folks use other kinds, i just prefer the coal tar affects on mine. I hope you find one that helps yours. 🙂
