I'm sure everyone has seen the commercials for this "new" shampoo that's supposed to really help your scalp. (Heidi Klum is in the commercial

Have you tried co-washing?

You might have a mild fungal issue. Looking at the ingredients (on amazon, they aren't listed on the main site which makes me nervous) there's not a lot of news in what's in this stuff. THe one I looked at had only one sulfate, which is pretty good, although I still believe none is better. It's also got quite a few waxes beyond the dimethecone. What is really the effective ingredient though is the zinc, followed by the niacinimide. Zinc is a good anti-microbial, and it's in there twice. Niacinimide I'm not as familiar with, but it's an anti-inflammatory. However it's pretty low on the list and may not be strong enough to really do much. Nizoral shampoos are an option to look into if you want a shampoo, there are a few companies and different formulations you can look into, possibly one will be sulfate and -cone free. Zincon is another option, I tried it and had OK results, but I refuse to use it enough to get results as the smell is too strong for me and it has sulfates that I'd rather not use

Oh wow...I have been using baking soda forever to treat my dermatitis!! Is that why my hair is dry? I mix it with a little shampoo. It works so well for me and I am trying to use good conditioner and even some coconut oil in it here and there after a shower.

the shikai line of shampoos is great for scalp issues. also avoid using any conditioner on the roots as that tends to screw things up.
