Wash days leave the hair and scalp feeling fresh and clean, and for the days in between that demand additional dandruff protection and soothing relief, there's the new Head & Shoulders' BARE Itchy Scalp Relief Serum. "The BARE Itchy Scalp Relief Serum was born from a real consumer insight: people are washing less frequently, and their scalps need protection on non-wash days,” says John Scarchilli, Director of Scientific Communications for Head & Shoulders.

This in-between haircare product combines cooling mint essential oil with clinically proven Zinc Pyrithione (ZPT) to soothe itch symptoms, help fight dandruff-causing microbes, and prevent discomfort from returning. Thanks to its lightweight, non-greasy formula, the nine-ingredient BARE Itchy Scalp Relief Serum by Head & Shoulders can be used anytime, anywhere, without interfering with hairstyles.
