What causes dandruff?

Dandruff often develops when the scalp’s natural oil production becomes imbalanced or when the skin reacts to a yeast-like fungus called Malassezia. Common symptoms include white flakes, itchiness, and redness. Stress, weather changes, and harsh hair products can make it worse.

Choosing the right shampoo matters

Not all dandruff shampoos are created equal. The most effective formulas combine antifungal ingredients with soothing botanicals that calm irritation and restore the scalp barrier. Ingredients such as zinc pyrithione, salicylic acid, or ketoconazole target the root cause — excess yeast and oil buildup.

Why consistency is key

Just like skincare, scalp care requires consistency. Use dandruff control shampoo 2–3 times per week and alternate with a gentle hydrating shampoo to maintain balance. Avoid hot water and overly frequent washing — both can dry out the scalp and trigger rebound flaking.

Tips for lasting results (and repeat success)

• Massage your scalp: Let the shampoo sit for 2–3 minutes to activate the ingredients.
• Condition wisely: Apply conditioner only to hair ends to avoid weighing down the roots.
• Hydrate and exfoliate: Weekly scalp scrubs help remove buildup and improve product absorption.
• Stay consistent: Continued use keeps your scalp balanced and helps prevent dandruff from returning.
