First, I don't have dry hair or scalp, but they aren't oily either, so I typically use a moisturizing shampoo so my hair doesn't dry out. This Aluram is one of the best I've used. It's lightweight and it smells terrific - it's a mild scent that doesn't overpower, but it's a pleasant, clean scent, which is what I usually look for. Honestly, I just like the way my hair feels when I use this shampoo. Now, son #2 does have dry hair, so I had him start using this shampoo and the results are drastic. See full review
