Dry Flaky Scalp
Question: My Hair scalp feels dry and flaky after my holiday? Does that mean I have dandruff problem? Kindly tell what should I do to make my scalp and hair healthy free of any dryness and dandruff.
Answer: It is more than likely that you have burnt you scalp in the sun while you were away during the holiday and the skin on your scalp is peeling. Dandruff tends to be more common among people who have oily hair, not a dry scalp. So it you have post-holiday flakes, visit your hair salon for an intensive deep-conditioning treatment that includes a scalp treatment to feed the hair as well as soothe and rehydrate the skin on your head. Don’t rush for the nearest anti-dandruff shampoo unless the problem persists well after you return. If, after a few weeks, you still see flakes or dandruff in your hairline, try using an anti-dandruff shampoo every other day. When lathered up, remember to leave the shampoo for a few minutes to allow the dandruff control ingredients to work, moisturizing and exfoliating the scalp. Alternate anti-dandruff shampoo with your usual shampoo until the problem clears.
