Rid yourself of unsightly shoulder snow with Dandrene Anti-Dandruff Shampoo ($28). Unlike most off-the-shelf solutions, Dandrene uses a mixture of Climbazole — don't worry, we had to look it up too — Pomegranate Extract, and other anti-fungal, oil-fighting agents to help clear out the cause of the flakes instead of just the flakes itself, meaning that while it might cost as much as 10 bottles of Head & Shoulders, it likely works 10 times as well.
