    Frequently Asked Questions

    •••

    Q: I need a product to help with my severely dry scalp.  I’ve tried other brands that smell "medicated”.  Do you have something that might be more pleasing to my nose?

    A: Yes.  DHS Tar Gel Shampoo, like our original DHS Tar Shampoo, is not only designed to help calm irritated skin and promote a healthy scalp, but it has an added mild lemon scent. 

    •••

    Q: Are the medicated shampoos meant to be used every day?

    A:  We recommend using DHS Zinc, DHS SAL, and DHS Tar Shampoos three times each week, or as recommended by your doctor.  We suggest using either our DHS Regular or Clear Shampoo during the "off” days.  Daily use of the DHS Conditioning Rinse will also help hair and skin maintain a natural moisture balance.

    •••

    Q: Do you carry any products that would be appropriate for treating Folliculitis?

    A: The symptoms of folliculitis, or inflammation at the base of the hair follicles, may be improved with use of our DHS Tar Shampoo.  Since only a doctor can diagnose your condition, we recommend talking with your doctor or dermatologist to determine the best course of treatment for your symptoms.

    •••

    Q: Is this shampoo safe for color treated hair?

    A: DHS medicated shampoos are not guaranteed to be color safe.  Try our DHS Color Safe Shampoo and DHS Color Safe Rinse that work very well together.  DHS Color Safe Shampoo & Rinse were developed to hold the color while providing excellent hair conditioning with enhanced hair thickening and ease of combing, while reducing drying time.  Best used together for optimum benefits.

    It's fragrance free

    It has gotten rid of the scalp psoriasis, but it has helped the itching. It syill itches but less frequently. Also, it is unscented for those of us who are allergic to anything with fragrance.

    scalp psoriasis

    The scent is strong but it fades away a couple of hours later. It leaves the hair soft and easy to comb.

    Better than Neutrogena!

    I had used Neutrogena tar based shampoo for years and while it worked well it had a not so pleasant smell and my hair always felt dried out! This shampoo however is the exact opposite! It smells nice, treats my scalp very well and leaves my hair soft and rinsed clean. The cost per bottle is reasonable.

    Works wonders, smells bad

    Itchy scalp, allergic to traditional shampoo, this works wonders to clean my hair. It does smell. The smell doesn't linger in my hair. The smell only lingers for about an hour in my home. My wife doesn't mind it. If you have a window in your bathroom you can crack post-shower it should clear up even quicker. i'd describe the smell as "repaving the street."

    None other like it

    I have contact allergies (perpatch test) that limits most over the counter products. I have been using this tar shampoo for over 14 years. It treats my hair, skin, and scalp wonderfully. I am finding it out of stock everywhere. Please bring it back!!!
