Flakes Anti Dandruff Shampoo & Conditioner Set — 9 fl oz | 2% Pyrithione Zinc, Sulfate & Paraben Free

If you struggle with dry, flaky, or itchy scalp and want a cleaner, better-smelling alternative to drugstore options, this set was developed to tackle dandruff without harsh sulfates or parabens. The shampoo uses a clinically recognized active ingredient at 2% strength to address flake-causing scalp conditions, while the conditioner restores moisture and leaves hair manageable rather than brittle. Fragrance choices prioritize natural essential-oil blends—cedar-forward in the shampoo and a yuzu-basil lift in the conditioner—so you get a pleasant scent profile without synthetic irritants.

How does the shampoo actually work to reduce flakes?

The peppermint-scented shampoo contains 2% pyrithione zinc, an antifungal and antibacterial ingredient commonly used to control the factors that lead to visible dandruff. The formulation also avoids sulfates and parabens, reducing the risk of stripping natural oils that can worsen dry scalps.

• 2% pyrithione zinc targets scalp microbial balance.
• Peppermint provides a cooling sensation for comfort.
• No sulfates or parabens to prevent over-drying the scalp.
• Designed to be used consistently for visible improvement.

What makes the conditioner different from two-in-ones?

The Flakes conditioner focuses on replenishing and protecting hair with MCT oil rather than simply coating strands with silicones. That means hair feels softer and looks healthier without the papery, weighed-down finish common to combined products.

• MCT oil for lightweight moisture and improved hair texture.
• Formulated to pair with the anti-dandruff shampoo for balanced scalp care.
• Leaves hair manageable and reduces scalp dryness over time.
• Free from harsh preservatives and unnecessary fillers.

Will the natural fragrances irritate sensitive scalps?

Fragrance sensitivity varies, but Flakes uses natural scent blends—cedar-like woods in the shampoo and yuzu with basil in the conditioner—to minimize irritation compared with synthetic perfumes. If you have a known fragrance allergy, patch testing is recommended before routine use.

• Shampoo: woodsy cedar tones, created from natural aromatic sources.
• Conditioner: bright yuzu and herbal basil for a clean finish.
• Avoids synthetic fragrance ingredients linked to irritation.
• Patch-test on a small skin area if you have fragrance sensitivity.

How should I use the set for best results?

Use the shampoo first to cleanse and treat the scalp, massaging it in for about 60 seconds before rinsing. Follow with the conditioner applied mid-length to ends and leave on for a short rinse period to lock in moisture and protection.

• Wet hair thoroughly, apply shampoo, massage into scalp for 60 seconds.
• Rinse fully, then apply conditioner focusing on mid-lengths and ends.
• Leave conditioner briefly (30–60 seconds) then rinse to avoid buildup.
• Consistent use delivers the best visible improvement over weeks.
