Neutrogena T/Gel: Cheaper, Better than Head and Shoulders Anti-Dandruff Shampoo

Dandruff is embarrassing. Nobody wants to admit that they have dandruff or a dry scalp. If you have dandruff or dry scalp you probably don't want to go ask your friends what shampoo they recommend. Even if you did ask them, most likely most would deny having any dandruff problems. Here is your solution: I will compare the two biggest brands of dandruff-fighting shampoos for you - Neutrogena T/Gel vs. Head and Shoulders Anti-Dandruff Shampoo

I suffered from dandruff and a very dry scalp since I was a teenager. I used Head and Shoulders Anti-Dandruff shampoo because that was basically all that was available. I hated using it, it didn't smell good and it didn't make my hair soft and manageable like normal shampoos and conditioners did. I would use Head and Shoulders Anti-Dandruff shampoo when I needed it and I would switch back to my normal shampoo. I think the thing I hated the most was that it was a 2 in 1 product. I have never liked products with the shampoo and conditioner in one and this was no exception.

When I saw the Neutrogena T/Gel at my store I decided I would give it a try since I didn't think it could be any worse then the Head and Shoulders Anti-dandruff that I was currently using. The thing I noticed right away while I was still in the store was that Neutrogena had a separate shampoo and conditioner. The smell of the Neutrogena T/Gel shampoo is strong and different, but I actually liked it, and I liked the smell of the conditioner that went with it. The Neutrogena T/Gel shampoo was very thick and I had to rinse my hair several times to make sure I got it all out. I finished up with the Neutrogena conditioner and it felt just like a regular conditioner. When I blow dried my hair I noticed that my hair felt much softer. I liked the Neutrogena T/Gel a lot and with continued use it has continued to keep my dandruff away. I currently use Neutrogena T/Gel Shampoo and Neutrogena Conditioner, and I am very happy with the products.

The Head and Shoulders anti-dandruff shampoo is quite a bit cheaper than the Neutrogena T/Gel. A bottle of Head and Shoulders Anti-Dandruff Shampoo is around $7 for 14 ounces, a bottle of Neutrogena T/Gel is $14 for 16 ounces. You also have to consider the fact that with Neutrogena T/Gel you will need to add in the cost of a conditioner. I think this is a case of you get what you pay for. I think that the Neutrogena product works better and is a better value for your money.

Most local drugstores carry both Neutrogena T/Gel and Head and Shoulders Anti-Dandruff. If you can't find the Neutrogena T/Gel in a store near you, you can buy it on-line at places such as drugstore.com or Amazon.com.
