DHS Coal Tar Dandruff Shampoo Unscented – 2 × 8 fl oz, clarifying for itchy, flaky scalps

DHS Person & Covey Coal Tar Shampoo is an unscented clarifying shampoo formulated to help relieve flaking, scaling and itch associated with dandruff and seborrheic conditions.

This tar-based shampoo from DHS (Person & Covey, Inc.) combines a time-tested coal tar formula with a gentle, dye- and PABA-free base designed to remove residue while preserving moisture. Sold as two 8 fl oz bottles, the shampoo is intended for routine use on scalps prone to flaking, buildup or irritation. The packaging is recyclable and the formula is fragrance-free, making it a straightforward option for people seeking a minimal, effective scalp care product.

How does this shampoo address dandruff and scalp flaking?

The coal tar ingredient works to slow down rapid skin cell turnover on the scalp, which helps reduce visible flaking and scaling. Regular, as-directed use can reduce residue and make hair easier to manage without aggressive stripping agents. This product is formulated to be free of added dyes and PABA, lowering the chance of unnecessary irritants.

• Contains coal tar to help normalize scalp skin cell activity
• Clarifies by removing buildup without dissolving natural oils
• Unscented and dye-free for minimal fragrance sensitivity

Will this shampoo dry out my hair or damage color-treated hair?

DHS Coal Tar Shampoo aims to remove excess residue while being gentle enough to maintain moisture balance. Because coal tar shampoos can be stronger than everyday cleansers, occasional follow-up with a conditioner is recommended if your hair needs extra softness. It is formulated to be PABA- and dye-free, but if you have color-treated hair, test a small section first or consult your stylist.

• Clarifying action without intentionally harsh detergents
• Follow with conditioner to restore softness after washing
• Patch-test color-treated hair before regular use

How often should I use DHS coal tar shampoo for best results?

Usage frequency will depend on the severity of your scalp symptoms and your dermatologist’s guidance. Many people begin with two to three applications per week, then reduce to maintenance use once flakes and itch are controlled. Always follow label directions and consult a healthcare provider for persistent or severe conditions.

• Start with 2–3 times per week, then adjust as needed
• Use for short trial periods to judge scalp response
• Consult a professional for chronic or worsening symptoms

What practical features does the product packaging offer?

Each pack contains two 8 fl oz recyclable bottles designed with an easy-open cap for convenience in the shower. The compact size is suitable for travel or bathroom storage, and the unscented formula keeps scent-sensitive users comfortable. Person & Covey emphasize simple, family-owned manufacturing and long-standing formula experience.

• Two 8 fl oz bottles per pack for added value
