I am using Keune P13 (henna) and Keune P13 Tar. I use the Tar 2 days a week and then the henna 5 days a week. After 2 weeks of alternating with those shampoos, i then use keune anti-dandruff shampoo. It elimanates the scales enought where i can wear black in public. Good luck Tim. The fight must go on Tony baloney the one and only Hey Tim,
