Be done with dandruff!
Dandruff is annoying and often hard to get rid of. A flaky scalp can have many causes - and the treatment varies accordingly.
If the flakes of dandruff fall off easily when you move your fingers through your hair and your scalp is itchy, you may actually be suffering from dry scalp. They are the result of hot water and frequent blow-drying, but also of too much sun, aggressive care products and dry room air. The scalp produces horny scales as a reaction. Dandruff flakes are bigger and they look oily. Dandruff is caused by the scalp producing too much sebum, which makes the flakes stick together. This is usually the result of a hormone imbalance or a fungus called malassezia. These home remedies can help:
