This Dandruff Shampoo Will Transform Your Hair After Literally One Wash

WHAT: Jupiter Balancing Shampoo & Nourishing Conditioner

WHY: To be fair, Head & Shoulders is an exquisite shampoo. Deeply cleansing, leaves you with squeaky clean hair, and costs like eight cents. There is no world in which we cast aspersions on this OG.

HOWEVER.

To truly and effectively help your scalp become non-cranky and flaky, and your hair to become less oily, your shampoo MUST contain “active” ingredients, which almost zero drugstore products contain.

Jupiter uses Zinc Pyrithione (fancy) to actually treat the underlying cause of dandruff, which is often extremely oily or irritated scalps.

For your long-term hair goals (which is a sentence I’ve never written but now love), harsh foaming agents are what make most super sudsy shampoos feel like they’re “working,” when in fact they’re brutalizing our scalps and stripping them of their natural oils, leading to an endless, cyclical hellscape of loving that short-term “clean” feeling, while obliterating your long-term scalp health.

Listen.

All of these words are basically trying to justify the frightening price, since we all feel as though we could technically just swipe the Amazon “buy now” thingy and have any number of cheap, rando shampoos claiming to treat scalp issues at our doorstep tomorrow.

But the long-term benefits of actually repairing our scalp woes means we’ll finally break free of the cycle.

Bonus: you will notice a difference in your scalp and hair happiness after one use.

Also, packaging.

PRICE: $42 for the shampoo and conditioner set
