Do you suffer from an itchy scalp? An inflamed or flaky scalp due to dandruff can be a significant challenge to manage, not to mention the additional task of keeping our hair hydrated and glossy. 

Adding a soothing shampoo to our hair routine that promises to alleviate itchiness, soothe a sensitive scalp, or eliminate dandruff is truly the move. Lucky for us, there are plenty of excellent (and affordable) shampoos that do just that. 

But don’t just take it from this flaky-and-itchy scalp; thousands of reviewers suffer from the very same issue, and they have laid it all out in the open in the review section of top retailers. They let us know which soothing shampoos are truly worth it, and which don’t do anything at all—from salon-grade brands like Biolage to drugstore staples like Head & Shoulders. 

Starting at just $6, keep scrolling to shop the best top-rated shampoos to soothe itchy scalps and treat dandruff.
