I say "expensive" because there are a ton of anti-dandruff products out there for way more and way less. You can go into any store and get a big bottle of something for $5. But a lot of those products have pyrithione zinc which may work for some but gives me patchy flakes within a day of use. I don't know if it's shedding the whole head before it works it magic or something but I honestly do not have the time or patience to test that out. It'd be akin to using a product that makes your face covered in acne before it starts clearing up--really?So for all I know so far, using this tea tree oil based conditioner fixes the problems within a day or two. I still have flakes but they're not patching and I can actually run through my hair without much concern. Yeah, something may fall out but that's part of life. My hair feels soft, there isn't a ton of residue or slickness left over, and you don't need a lot. I put on a bit more to start off with but ideally those with dandruff or dry scalp shouldn't be washing away their natural hair oils daily.I gladly pay the higher price for piece of mind. Others may find a different remedy works out well. This is not a flaw of a well-made product. It's not superficial to be afraid of dandruff flakes, they get everywhere and try being in public and coworkers shedding those white patches all around. Small price to pay for a pretty good boost of confidence assuming it works for you.Jack Black offers a 3 oz trial size online on their direct website. Try it out even if it costs some money for shipping (or just splurge on this and give it to someone else, it's an universal conditioner so most should be ok with it). I've bought so many other random hair care things that finally sticking to one consistent thing feels great.Update April 2025:I've been using this product on and off the last few years, most recently back on to supplement an anti-dandruff 2-in-1. That one alone caused my hair to produce excess oil and stink up so I wash using it first then with the Jack Black thickening shampoo + conditioner. I also bought the leave-in hair balm for times I don't want to double-wash. Seems to be a working setup even with longer hair that seems to flare up more than short.The manufacturer's direct website has a combo deal for the shampoo + conditioner + usable comb. Since my original review, they look to have phased out smaller trial sizes. I'm not so discerning with shampoos but I definitely take this conditioner on trips in case something triggers.

Fantastic product Follow directions and works perfectly

It's the perfect complement, providing deep nourishment, amazing scent, and lasting dandruff control. Together, they've transformed my hair and scalp!

Pricey, but seems to be a good conditioner. I've used it for several years.But have encountered two mechanical issues with its packaging. Maybe you're adept and perceptive, so you can solve them immediately. But if you're more like me, stumbling through life in a fog shot through with little flares of irritation, perhaps this long, insanely detailed nattery may help:1) On first use, you flip open the black cap and try to squeeze some conditioner out of its tube: nope. You've got to unscrew the whole snap cap and take it off, to see that there's a little silver sticker over the small opening at the interior top of the tube. The sticker has a little tab. Use it to pull off the silver sticker, and screw the black cap back on. Now you're good to go ...2) ... Until you've finished with the conditioner, and you try to snap the black cap back on. This is usually easy with most tubes you get.But several times over the last few years, I've bought a tube with a cap that just won't snap. So you can't store the tube in its designed cap-down position, but have to keep it upright, with the cap slightly ajar — and obviously more prone to leaks.Today, after the usual cursing attempts to wrestle a new tube with wet hands and failing to hear that satisfying snap, I dried off and spent 5 minutes studying the fricking engineering here.And finally solved the mystery. Some of these caps just won't close, no matter how hard you push down on the edge of the cap right over the thumb indent.So instead, push down in the CENTER of the cap, or even a little more back toward the hinge.Success! I expect to hear from the Nobel committee any day now.
