Stress makes everything worse, including your scalp’s drama. Yes, stress can literally trigger dandruff flare-ups. Breathe, take a walk, or laugh at a bad joke—like this: “Why did the dandruff cross the road? Because it couldn’t find a good shampoo.” (Okay, groan.)
Also, drink water and eat healthy fats (think avocados, salmon, nuts). Your skin—including your scalp—is basically a diva that needs proper hydration and a little omega-3. And no, pizza doesn’t count as a healthy fat, but I see you trying.
