Head & Shoulders Royal Oils Moisturizing Anti-Dandruff Shampoo delivers scalp relief and moisture for curly and coily hair with 1% pyrithione zinc, coconut oil, and apple cider vinegar in a sulfate-free formula.

This shampoo is made for textured hair types that need targeted scalp care without stripping natural oils. It pairs Head & Shoulders’ clinically proven anti-dandruff active, pyrithione zinc (1%), with nourishing coconut oil and apple cider vinegar to help cleanse buildup, hydrate strands, and support scalp balance. The formula is free of SLS/SLES sulfates, parabens, and dyes, and is tailored to detangle, define, and refresh natural curls and coils when used as part of a regular haircare routine.

How does this shampoo control flakes without drying curly or coily hair?

The 1% pyrithione zinc targets the scalp environment commonly associated with flaking while coconut oil restores moisture to hair fibers. Apple cider vinegar helps clarify residue so curls stay defined instead of stiff or crunchy.

• Active anti-dandruff ingredient: 1% pyrithione zinc
• Moisturizing coconut oil to reduce dryness
• Apple cider vinegar for gentle cleansing and shine
• Sulfate-free cleansing that preserves curl moisture

Will this formula suit colored or chemically treated textured hair?

The shampoo omits harsh sulfates, parabens, and dyes, making it gentler on color-treated and chemically processed curls when compared with traditional sulfate formulas. It focuses on scalp health while supporting hair hydration.

• Sulfate-free (no SLS/SLES) reduces color fade risk
• Paraben- and dye-free for a milder ingredient profile
• Safe for routine use to maintain scalp balance

How should I use it to get the best results for curls and coils?

Apply to wet hair, concentrate on massaging the scalp to lift flakes and buildup, then work through lengths to detangle and moisturize. Follow with a conditioner or leave-in suited for curly textures to lock in hydration.

• Massage into scalp for 60–90 seconds to cleanse effectively
• Rinse thoroughly and repeat if needed for heavy buildup
• Pair with a moisturizing conditioner for definition
• Regular use supports healthier-feeling scalp in weeks

What results can you expect and when might you notice them?

With consistent use, many users report reduced visible flakes and improved scalp comfort while hair feels softer and more manageable. Benefits often become noticeable after several washes and continue with regular use.

• Reduces flakes associated with dandruff in repeated use
• Helps restore scalp balance while hydrating strands
• Improved curl definition and manageability over time

Who is this for: This shampoo is intended for people with natural, curly, or coily hair seeking a targeted anti-dandruff solution that also supports moisture and curl health.
