I'll be the first to admit that I've struggled with dandruff in the past. So if you've recently noticed a dusting of dandruff flakes along your scalp or shoulders, just know you're not alone.
The good news is that there are a number of over-the-counter dandruff solutions, including many from your favorite hair care brands, including Oribe, Virtue, and Briogeo.
The best dandruff treatment can help relieve scalp irritation and eliminate flaking, leaving your scalp (and hair) happy, healthy, and flake-free.
What is dandruff?
Dandruff refers to a common skin condition in which the scalp produces white or yellowish skin flakes, experts say.
While flakes are the most noticeable, other dandruff symptoms include a sensitive, oily scalp and scalp irritation and itchiness.
Why do I have dandruff?
There are a number of reasons why you may be experiencing dandruff and none of them have to do with a dry scalp or poor hygiene -- contrary to what people may think.
The most common reason for dandruff is a build up of excess oil and sebum, according to experts. This is the result of either not washing your hair often enough or washing it too often, which can dry out the scalp overcompensate oil production.
Yes, it's annoying, but finding the right number of hair wash days for your skin type can help keep your scalp's microbiome balanced, thus preventing dandruff.
You might also experience dandruff if you're using hair products that overly dry out your scalp.
How do I get rid of dandruff?
Since the skin condition has become more normalized, there are many treatment options and remedies not limited to Head & Shoulders or Selsun Blue. In fact, most of your favorite hair care brands now have products that target dandruff.
When shopping for dandruff solutions, experts say the key is to look for products with one of the following active ingredients: zinc pyrithione, salicylic acid, sulfur, selenium sulfide, ketoconazol, charcoal, and coal tar.
The most common treatment is an anti-dandruff shampoo. When used to wash your hair, these ingredients can help create a healthy scalp environment by minimizing excess oil and sebum production without stripping your scalp.
Consider adding an exfoliating scalp treatment or scrub to your hair care routine. It can help to further break down buildup. We've found several options below.
