How To Get Rid Of Dandruff: The Expert’s Guide
Hide and remove those bothersome flakes with these expert tips and product picks.
While you may hear a lot of buzz about dandruff during the winter months, the truth is that the condition can occur any time of year. Your scalp becomes itchy, irritated, and white flakes begin to pop up on your crown. The good news? You won’t need to battle dandruff forever. We’re here to break down how to remove dandruff from your mane (and the products you need to do it).
Wondering what causes dandruff? There are many common causes, including not shampooing frequently enough, not rinsing adequately, dry skin, or using a styling product that creates flakes. There are also factors outside of your control that can lead to dandruff, such as climate changes and medical conditions. No matter what’s causing your dandruff to occur, we always recommend seeking the help of a salon pro or trichologist (a hair and scalp specialist). They can help you identify the root cause of your dandruff and determine what care routine will best suit your mane.
More importantly, however, a professional can help you figure out whether or not you’re actually dealing with dandruff in the first place. Other common scalp conditions, such as dry scalp and Seborrheic Dermatitis, can mimic the symptoms of dandruff.
