Anyone else get scalp issues with fancy shampoo/conditioner?

I started dyeing my hair for the first time in years, and I wanted to make it last so of course I grabbed some good 'dye-safe' haircare. Specifically the RedKen PH balance stuff.

But I noticed that the day after I washed my hair, my scalp would be pretty dotted with acne/blocked pores. I thought it might have been due to extending the time between hair washing, but it was only /after/ washing that it would happen, and it'd dissipate over the next couple days.

Im due for a retouch soon so I tried swapping over to my cheaper shampoo from before, and I had basically no scalp issues this time.

Anyone else had this issue? I feel like some of the fancier haircare products might end up making your head more blocked or dirty than the basics at this point.
