Dandruff, dryness or another cause?
Dry skin develops when skin loses too much water. Dandruff is a common flaking condition that can also occur on oily skin. Skin conditions can cause similar symptoms. Flake colour and size do not provide a reliable diagnosis.
How to wash gently
Wet your hair thoroughly with comfortably lukewarm water. Apply shampoo to the scalp, massage gently with your fingertips and rinse well. The shampoo running through the lengths is often enough for them. A second wash can help with heavy residue but is not needed every time. Use a scalp brush lightly and avoid scrubbing an irritated scalp.
Do you need it?
Ordinary hair washing can often be enough to remove sweat, oil and styling residue. Exfoliation is an optional extra step, not a requirement for everyone. An oily or itchy scalp does not by itself mean it needs scrubbing. Start by reviewing your washing routine and the products you already use.
Gentle care and help for persistent symptoms
Follow the instructions if you use dandruff shampoo. A cosmetic oil or serum is not automatically a treatment for dandruff or a skin condition. Ask a pharmacist or doctor if unsure. Persistent or severe itching, redness, swelling, sores or pain should be assessed professionally.
