Person & Covey DHS Tar Shampoo for Dandruff & Itchy Scalp, 8 fl oz — Coal Tar Treatment for Flaking

Person & Covey DHS Tar Shampoo is a coal tar–based cleansing shampoo formulated to help relieve itching and flaking associated with dandruff and seborrheic conditions.

This 8 fluid ounce bottle provides a targeted washing treatment designed for scalps prone to irritation, flaking, and recurring dermatitis-like symptoms. The formula leverages coal tar’s keratoplastic properties to help loosen and remove scales while cleaning hair and scalp. Use as directed to integrate into a regular care routine for symptomatic control; it’s intended for topical scalp use, not as a general hair styling product.

How does this shampoo address itching and flaking?

The coal tar ingredient helps reduce the buildup of dead skin and loosens flakes so they can be rinsed away during shampooing. Regular, short-contact applications can help manage visible scaling and soothe the scalp surface.

• Contains coal tar to reduce scale accumulation
• Formulated for scalp application rather than hair styling
• Removes visible flakes when used consistently
• 8 fl oz size for multi-week use depending on frequency

How should I use DHS Tar Shampoo for best results?

Apply to wet hair and massage into the scalp, leaving on for the time recommended on the packaging before rinsing. Frequency and contact time influence effectiveness; follow package instructions and avoid prolonged exposure beyond recommendations.

• Massage into wet scalp to lift scales
• Observe product directions for leave-on time and rinsing
• Use regularly as part of a scalp-care routine
• Avoid contact with eyes and broken skin

Is this shampoo suitable for my hair type and daily use?

DHS Tar Shampoo is focused on symptomatic scalp care rather than daily cosmetic conditioning; it can be used by many hair types but may be best as a treatment step in a routine. If your scalp responds well, alternate with a regular conditioner or milder cleanser as needed for moisture balance.

• Designed primarily for scalp symptom control
• Works with most hair textures when used as directed
• Consider pairing with a conditioner if hair feels dry
• Not formulated as a daily styling product

What precautions should I take when using coal tar shampoo?

Coal tar products can increase sun sensitivity; protect the treated scalp from prolonged sun exposure. Avoid use on damaged or severely irritated skin, and discontinue if you notice excessive redness or severe irritation. Keep out of reach of children.

• Limit sun exposure on treated areas
• Avoid use on open wounds or severely inflamed skin
• Stop use if severe irritation occurs and consult a professional
• Store securely away from children

Who is this for: Person & Covey DHS Tar Shampoo 8 fl oz is aimed at adults and adolescents seeking a targeted wash to control scalp itching, visible flaking, and recurring dermatitis-like symptoms.
