I have had problems with dandruff and this product definitely worked. The hair feels very clean and somewhat detoxed after use, but the smell you get in the hair is a bit too extreme for me. It almost smells like bleach or something medicinal. It's a bit unclear how to describe the smell, but it usually disappears after a day or so, especially when using hair oil or hair perfume. It's really up to the individual whether they like the smell or not, so I would recommend trying it anyway.
