Hairetic
Anti-dandruff hair care for sensitive scalps
Last updated on 7th September 2026
About Hairetic
Anti-dandruff shampoo and conditioner from a UK haircare brand built around scalp health rather than general hair cosmetics. The range suits people dealing with flaking, itchiness or a sensitised scalp who want a routine product rather than an occasional treatment, and it is formulated to be gentle enough for regular use.
The core range runs to three 250ml products: an Anti-Dandruff Sensitive Shampoo, a matching Sensitive Conditioner, and a 2-in-1 Shampoo & Conditioner for a simpler routine. Formulations are built around piroctone olamine as the primary anti-fungal active, alongside aloe vera for a milder feel on sensitive scalps, plus rosemary extract, stinging nettle and willow bark extract in supporting roles. Zinc pyrithione, coal tar and ketoconazole, the older-generation anti-dandruff actives, are deliberately left out of the formulations.
Hairetic is based in the UK and sells directly through its own website alongside a small stockist network. Bottles are made from 100% Prevented Ocean Plastic and are fully recyclable at UK kerbside, and the company donates 1% of revenue to environmental charities through 1% for the Planet. Products are dermatologically tested for sensitive skin and carry certification from the Vegan Society and Cruelty Free International.

Questions about Hairetic
Is the Hairetic Sensitive Shampoo suitable for sensitive scalps?
Yes, the Sensitive Shampoo and Conditioner are dermatologically tested for use on sensitive skin and made with an extra mild aloe vera formula. They are also approved by the Vegan Society and Cruelty Free International.
What ingredients are in the Hairetic 2-in-1 Shampoo & Conditioner?
The 2-in-1 is formulated with rosemary extract, stinging nettle extract, aloe vera juice extract and willow bark extract, alongside anti-dandruff actives. It does not contain tea tree oil, which Hairetic avoids due to potential irritation on sensitive scalps.
Do Hairetic products reduce visible flakes?
Hairetic reports that 9 out of 10 users saw fewer visible flakes when using its products. The range is designed for regular use as part of an ongoing scalp care routine rather than a one-off treatment.
How much does Hairetic delivery cost and how long does it take?
Delivery is free on UK orders over £10, with a £4 charge below that threshold. Orders are dispatched within 1 working day and typically arrive within 3-5 working days via Royal Mail or Evri.
Does Hairetic ship outside the UK?
Hairetic currently only ships within the UK, including Northern Ireland. International shipping to Europe is being set up, and rest-of-world shipping is not yet available due to regulatory restrictions on anti-dandruff product claims.
Which courier delivers Hairetic orders?
Orders are sent via Royal Mail or Evri. The company notes it is working on offering a choice of delivery partner at checkout.
Alternatives to Hairetic - Beauty & Skincare market
- Head & Shoulders Sold in every UK supermarket at a lower price, though its Sensitive formula still contains fragrance rather than being fragrance-free.
- Philip Kingsley Trichologist-formulated flaky and itchy scalp shampoo at a higher price point, positioned as a clinic-grade premium alternative.
- Nizoral Uses ketoconazole for a stronger medicated approach to stubborn dandruff, but is recommended for occasional rather than daily use.
- Clever Soap A small UK indie brand built around the same piroctone olamine active, sold direct rather than through a wider stockist network.
- Green People Fragrance-free and organic-leaning formula for hypersensitive scalps, aimed more broadly at scalp comfort than at targeted anti-fungal dandruff control.
