Mizani Scalp Care Dandruff Shampoo for Curly & Textured Hair — 16.9 oz, Pyrithione Zinc + Cooling Menthol

This salon-grade shampoo is formulated for curly and textured hair but works for all curl patterns. It pairs pyrithione zinc, an ingredient commonly used to control flaking, with cooling botanicals — menthol, peppermint oil and cucumber extract — to cleanse, soothe and leave the scalp with a tingling, refreshed sensation. The lather removes buildup and excess bacteria that contribute to flakes and scaling while conditioning agents guard against dryness.

How does this shampoo address flakes and scalp irritation?

The active ingredient pyrithione zinc helps reduce the microbial contributors to visible flaking and scaling. Combined with a gentle surfactant system, the formula clears buildup without stripping natural oils, so the scalp feels cleaner and less irritated after use.

• Pyrithione zinc targets the causes of flake formation.
• Gentle cleansing removes excess oils and product residue.
• Cooling menthol and peppermint provide immediate soothing relief.

Will it dry out my curls or alter texture?

No — Mizani designed this shampoo to protect moisture while treating the scalp. Hydrating extracts such as cucumber plus conditioning ingredients help maintain strand softness and manageability so textured hair keeps its shape and resilience.

• Formulated to avoid excessive drying of hair fibers.
• Moisturizing botanicals preserve curl definition and shine.
• Safe for a wide range of curl patterns and textures.

How do I use it for best results?

Use on wet hair, applying a small amount to the scalp and working into a lather. Leave it on for 1–3 minutes to allow the active ingredient to work, then rinse thoroughly; repeat if needed. For ongoing scalp balance, follow with Mizani Scalp Care Conditioner or Scalp Care Calming Lotion.

• Wet hair thoroughly before applying the shampoo.
• Massage gently from roots to ends and leave 1–3 minutes.
• Rinse completely and follow with recommended Mizani scalp care products.

What sensory experience should I expect while using it?

The blend of menthol and peppermint oil produces a cooling, tingling sensation on the scalp that many users report as refreshing. The scent is crisp and herbal, and the formula rinses clean to leave hair feeling purified without heavy residue.

• Cooling tingle on contact for immediate sensory feedback.
• Fresh, mint-forward fragrance with subtle cucumber notes.
• Creates a clean, lightweight finish suitable for styling after washing.

Who is this for: Mizani Scalp Care Dandruff Shampoo suits anyone with visible flaking, itch or scalp buildup who also wants to protect curl integrity — especially people with textured, curly or coily hair looking for a salon-quality anti-dandruff wash that won’t overdry strands. It’s also appropriate for those who prefer botanical cooling agents and professional-grade formulations backed by salon testing.
