Not sure if its the shampoo..I use a couple of different kinds to alternate. I think I have overall dry skin especially after a shower....I do have a shower filter though...Its strange but my scalp gets really dry. I havent been able to find a good scalp moisturizer either...I dont like using conditioner much due to the fact that it can clog pores. Is there any mositurizer for the scalp that can be used without damaging the hair or follicles. Tried Now brand krill and broke out, not sure what that was about but I dont use it anymore.
