Who buys it, and why

Dandruff shampoo refers to medicated and cosmetic shampoos for flaky, itchy scalp, using ingredients such as zinc pyrithione, ketoconazole, selenium sulfide, salicylic acid and coal tar. People search it to find the best one for their hair type, compare brands such as Head & Shoulders, Nizoral and Neutrogena T/Gel, and look for gentler or salon options. In practice, the buyers are adults and teenagers with dandruff or seborrheic dermatitis. Scalp care has become a premium skincare-style category. It is a large recurring-purchase market with room for differentiated formulas.
