Flaky scalp getting you down? Rest assured that you’re not alone. Research suggests that half the world’s population is affected by {dandruff}, and the causes include oily skin and dry skin (much like the not enough water/too much water conundrum when it comes to caring for plants!), skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis, and sensitivity to hair care products.
But you needn’t let dandruff get in the way of stand-out strands. Help is at hand. This step-by-step {hair care} routine for dandruff, carefully curated by {Cult Concierge} expert {Syhem}, features a range of anti-dandruff treatments and products that’ll help regulate oil production, slough away dead skin and reduce product build-up – take THAT flakiness!
Note: If your scalp is red, swollen or super-itchy, or if you’re worried about your dandruff, consult your GP.
1. Start your hair routine for dandruff with a scalp scrub
Scrub away dead skin cells and product build-up with an exfoliating scalp scrub like {KEVIN.MURPHY’s SCALP.SPA SCRUB}. This cleansing blend of perlite (a natural sphere that gently exfoliates), micellar water (which attracts dirt and oils like a magnet) and detoxifying celery seed extract is perfect for balancing sebum and helping to reduce irritation. Consider this a weekly MOT to purify and decongest your scalp, ensuring fewer flakes and healthy, nourished and protected hair.
Get your hair wet and massage this formula into your scalp in circular motions (do this once a week or as needed). Rinse thoroughly, then continue with the rest of your dandruff routine.
