What shampoo brand do you recommend for dandruff?

I have been dealing with this dandruff situation for quite a while now and I still can't seem to figure out how to get rid of this problem. I have tried several shampoo brands/products like head and shoulders, ANGFA organic shampoo and the Honey Deep Moist Shampoo. And none of them worked so far. Some say it's because of hot shower. Well I do shower every day, but I don't use hot shower all the time. I rinse my hair thoroughly after applying shampoo and conditioner. I also tried applying shampoo every other day just to make my hair less dry but I still none of those tricks are working. If there is a product that you recommend that suits every man's budget then I would appreciate it so much.

    I use a brand called Success. However, I had dandruff for the longest time too until I tried just soaking the shampoo in for a longer time before washing it off.

    My husband likes the Head and Shoulders men's scalp care variety, you can find it on Amazon Japan and despite being called "men's scalp care" I think it's suitable for anyone. It has a nice smell and isn't too expensive.

    @PDecs Thank you for the tip. I will try that method for a week or two and we'll see. :)

    Curel's line of moisture care including the shampoo might do the trick. I've used Merit shampoo in the dry winter months and had some relief. You can also go to a dermatologist to ask for advice.

    That's actually a great tip from ToneToEdo, since some scalp conditions look like dandruff but they're not actually dandruff, like dermatitis. If you've already tried a number of anti-dandruff shampoos without any success, the dermatologist route would be a good next step IMO.

    @genkidesu Yes, that will definitely be my last option. I will just have to try all of your recommended products first before I seek help from a dermatologist. I appreciate all your tips and suggestions.

    I've nothing to suggest currently, but I've noticed my eldest daughter has dandruff quite bad at the moment - ever since pool season started. So I'm taking note of the suggestions! Thanks for posting.

What are you watching and where are you watching it!?

For many years I have been a member of Amazon Prime. I signed up to and pay for it for the "free" delivery and I like that much of Prime TV is then "free" too. However, in recent years, Prime TV hasn't been great. So I now pay for Netflix monthly and I find it very reasonably priced. But its not always easy to pick what to watch! What are you watching, where are you watching it and would you recommend it?

Grocery budget 2024?

How are you managing your grocery budget, for a single or a family? I'm finding my buying power for a single is diminishing, but I'm doing okay, cooking nearly all my meals and dining out infrequently. After going over my receipts, I'm still averaging 30,000 yen a month on groceries. For reference, I'm well outside Tokyo in a Chiba suburb. Have you had to change your grocery budget considering the rising prices?

Japanese YouTube channels for interesting topics?

Are you listening and watching Japanese YouTubers who present interesting and quality content? I'm hooked on world traveler Bappa Shota, who treats global issues with great sensitivity. Although he appears to speak a few different languages, most of his narration is in Japanese. Which Japanese YouTubers do you recommend for interesting and insightful content?

Do you have a My Number card?

I never got one - long story, possibly for a blog post! But I am just curious did you get one? From March you can use a My Number card as a driver's license. This interests me so I am now considering getting one. Pros / cons?
