Anti dandruff hair treatments

Dealing with Flakes Is Frustrating

You wash your hair and, by midday, those stubborn white flakes show up on your shoulders. For many people, dandruff isn’t just a cosmetic nuisance—it’s itchy and embarrassing. What causes it? Most often, it’s a mix of excess oil, yeast (Malassezia), and skin irritation. Changes in weather, stress, and even your shampoo can make things worse.

Why Does Dandruff Stick Around?

Contrary to what most folks think, dandruff isn’t always about being ‘unclean’. Over 50% of adults deal with it at some point, thanks to genetics and scalp sensitivity. The culprit is usually an overgrowth of yeast on the scalp that feeds on oils, causing flaking and itchiness.

What Actually Works for Dandruff

• Medicated Shampoos: Look for zinc pyrithione, ketoconazole, or selenium sulfide. These target yeast and reduce inflammation.
• Scalp Scrubs: Gentle physical exfoliation can help lift flakes but don’t overdo it. Once a week is plenty.
• Tea Tree Oil: Some studies show this natural oil can reduce itch and flakes, but it needs to be diluted—5% concentration max.
• Moisturizing Conditioners: Dry scalp makes things worse. Opt for products with aloe, argan oil, or glycerin.

Practical Steps to Clear Your Scalp

1. Use a medicated shampoo 2–3 times weekly—not daily, to avoid dryness.
2. Rinse thoroughly; leftover residue can trigger more flakes.
3. Limit styling products—gels and sprays can build up and irritate your scalp.
4. Don’t scratch. Scraping flakes off feels satisfying but leads to redness and more scaling.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Switching shampoos too often. Give a new routine at least 2 weeks before judging results.
• Using hot water. It strips natural oils and worsens flaking.
• Skipping conditioner. Even oily scalps need moisture.
