We all scratch our heads in public. It looks like we’re thinking really hard. Actually, we’re just fighting a flake war.
You might wear a black shirt to hide flakes. Then you see them on your shoulders. It’s like a snow globe exploded on you.
Dry Flaky Scalp: Causes, Remedies & How to Treat It Naturally
Some people use dandruff shampoo for dry scalp. That’s like putting gasoline on a fire. It makes it worse.
The Curious Case of Over-Washing
Washing your hair every day strips oils. Your scalp panics and produces more oil. That oil mixes with dead skin and creates more flakes.
It’s a vicious cycle. You wash, it dries, it oil-flakes. You wash again. Your scalp is on a treadmill.
Try washing every other day. Or even every third day. Your scalp will calm down and thank you.
