A few months ago I discovered that Dove Bar Soap, Sensitive Skin Unscented, 4 Ounce, 16 Count had been the main cause of redness and intense itching on her skin, which doctors thought was atypical eczema. After discontinuing Dove her skin has mostly cleared up and she no longer itches.
I wondered if the detergent (surfuctant) base in most baby shampoos could be triggering a similar response. I knew dandruff shampoos were sometimes recommended for cradle cap in babies, so I tried a small amount (quarter size) of Neutrogena T/Sal Shampoo, Scalp Build-up Control, 4.5 fl oz on her, left it on for five minutes, rinsed well and reapplied, leaving it on for another five minutes. I thought her curly hair would be a dry frizzy mess but was surprised when it dried and it was very soft and wavy; a dime size dab of Aveeno Baby Eczema Therapy Moisturizing Cream, 5 Ounce worked through her hair and scalp, a spray of water and some scrunching is all that's needed to form ringlets that hold all day. Her scalp cleared up in less than a week, and although she isn't cured - it comes back if I don't use it on her - I'm glad to finally have found a solution.
I use T-Sal once or twice a week on her, if any scales reappear - otherwise, I use Bella B Bee Gone Cradle Cap Baby Shampoo 8 Oz . This shampoo is aloe based, hypoallergenic and paraben free, with a light fragrance that hasn't caused any issues. Both shampoos have worked well on my other children who sometimes get cradle cap as well.
On my end, I am sensitive to fragrances and my hair reacts terribly to strong sulfuctants and silicones found in "hydrating" shampoos, causing a huge amount of frizz, dryness, build up and breakage. Before trying T-Sal on my children, I tried it on my wavy hair. I was also surprised to see how well T-Sal cleaned and how soft and light feeling my hair dried afterwards. I've also noticed it helps my hand eczema (from using strong detergents such as Dial 1423982 Purex Ultra Free and Clear Concentrated Liquid Detergent, 100oz Bottle, (Pack of 4) ), if I leave the shampoo on my hands as long as I do on my hair.
I now use T-Sal to help remove product build up and alternate with DHS Clear Shampoo 16 oz and DHS Conditioning Rinse with Panthenol, Fragrance Free 8 fl oz (236 ml) , both very mild no-frills products that work really well.
The only thing I don't like is the small size. I've bought a large size T-Gel to see if it's more cost effective and will report back after I try it.
What I really love about this product is how great of a shampoo it is. Besides the flakes, I've always struggled to find a shampoo that doesn't ridiculously dry out my hair. I started only shampooing every other day or so, but I found that it just resulted in having super dry hair for a day and then progressively clumpier and dirty hair until I shampooed again. This stuff leaves your hair clean feeling, smooth, REALLY shiny without drying at ALL. It's like what you would expect from a 2-in-1 shampoo/conditioner except 2-in-1 shampoo/conditioners always really suck.
It's 3% salicylic acid, though, so you have to be careful with it. I found I could use it every day and my hair and scalp would tolerate it very well, but my HANDS started getting extremely dry and lost feeling in several patches (I thought i was going to lose my finger print). So, I would suggest washing your hands THOROUGHLY after using it and applying a good moisturizer. You could probably stop the acid reaction by rinsing your hands with baking soda water as well, but it isn't something I've tried.
tl;dr:
-Amazing as a shampoo.
-Treats flakes/dandruff pretty effectively, but condition returns after not using for 1-2 days.
-Can demolish your hands/palms, so take caution in using regularly.
-Much more effective than zinc pyrithione treatments for me. Cannot comment on effectiveness compared to selenium sulfide (Selsun) or ketaconazole (Nizoral).
-Smells very, very neutral, but not unpleasant.
About five years ago I finally saw a dermatologist for my extremely dry skin. He recommended either t/sal or t/gel as well as a prescription cream that I had to keep on with a shower cap over night. Nothing improved so I quit both after about a month. (I don't think I used it properly, to be fair)
I recently decided to give this a try again. Wow I so glad I did! After one use, I saw a difference. My scalp has been pure white as far as I can remember. If I scratch my forehead lightly flakes fall off. (Dandruff within my hair usually isn't a problem for me. My hairline is awful though) after my first wash my hairline was very improved, and I was able to wipe some flakes away. The best way to describe it is if you tan or sunburn and are able to rub away dead skin. It was similar to that. I was excited enough by this to go read reviews.
One stated it was important to follow directions exactly. I've never been a lather, rinse, AND REPEAT person, so I noted to repeat from now on. The bottle says to keep on a few minutes minutes before rinsing, I followed another reviews suggestion to keep it on five minutes. I bought a dollar kitchen timer to make sure I did that.
Day two showed more improvement. On today, day three, I really worked to get all over my scalp rather than concentrate on the worst part- hairline. I am so excited by the results! I don't recall my scalp every looking so good in my entire life.
The downsides: 1) it's time consuming 2) I have long hair so it takes a Long time to rinse. It gets very matted and heavy. I use a lot of conditioner but still seem to lose an extra amount of hair when I brush my hair out after. Make sure to buy detangler. 3) expensive for a shampoo. It's cheaper elsewhere than Amazon, so keep that in mind.
These downsides are very worth it in my opinion. Spend the $10 and you'll probably see great results. The worst that can happen is you're out $10. That's it!

1) use hair comb and gently scratch or brush your scalp
2) Dilute the shampoo with 1:1 ratio (1 spoon of shampoo with 1 spoon of water)
3) Apply the diluted shampoo to your scalp first ( start from the rear side (bow your head all the down and apply at the back of your head first) and come towards the sides of the head above the ears and finally to the top of the head
4) scratch gently and make sure the shampoo is evenly distributed not only to the affected area but every where
5) wait for 3 minutes
6) Again try scratching your scalp with the tip of your fingers
7) Rinse off the shampoo with Non-Chlorine water
8) Repeat the procedure once again just for 2 minutes and rinse off
9) make sure all the shampoo and lather is completely removed
10) Apply some nice conditioners and use a medium tooth brush and comb it to detangle before you wash
11) wash off the conditioners left in your hair
The above procedure will leave with zero dandruff for a week and by continuing the same procedure you will eventually reduce the recurring dandruff and hair fall.
Your hair colour might turn to a light tint of copper and it doesn't damage the hair, it will become stronger and by conditioning it regularly you can make it smoother and softer again.
