Maybe you are washing your head wrongly. Instead of just shampooing your hair, you can shamboo and rub the soap on the scalp like you massaging your head or scratching it. Having dandruff means your head very oily. Scrub scalp not hair.

recently i think i kana dry scalp. From young until now my scalp has been rather healthy with no issue. Have been using silkpro for 2-3 years but 2 weeks ago suddenly a lot of flakes. At first thought is danduff but:

(1) not itchy
(2) not oily
(3) become worse right after showering, and in aircon places

So end up I go buy H&S dry scalp, managed to find in one drug store because dry scalp not available in NTUC/Watson etc.

Been using for close to 2 weeks, not much diff. Not sure what to do next.

had similar problems for almost a year...could not find a solution at all.

tried many types of shampoos from coconut oil , tea tree, ginger, neem oil to using just ACV, baking soda etc and using coconut oil and jojoba oil as moisturizer

aircon places really triggered a massive flake storm..

but for me it did itch every now and then (tho not to to extent of scratching it hard), but putting on the oils causes burning sensation which makes it worse.

all the while the itch and pains (and slight sores) were only on the back of the head, although whole head was flaky, the back was flaking alot worse.

tried H&S with zinc carbonate (most will have) and menthol (to seriously calm the itch and/or sore) and it helped immediately after one or 2 uses.

however as with all other shampoos, after 3rd use it "did not work anymore".

the next day woke up with flakes, bad itch on the back again.

the sudden realization that sleeping with wet hair causes fungus build up.
after that always sleep w dry hair, changed out pillow and pillow case.

bottomline is:

1) Dry scalp can use ACV to wash, does help to retain moisture, and essential oils certainly do good.

2) oily scalp needs more abrasive wash, perhaps baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) once in a while helps, or sea salt wash. tea tree oil and neem oil does help to regulate, hence more suitable for both types

can also use ACV (1 part ACV, 2 parts water) mixed with a few drops of pure tea tree oil as a shampoo.

3) keeping it out of moisture prevents fungus build up is probably more crucial for keeping dandruff in control ( or at least to let ur scalp heal before u self diagnose whether its oily or dry)

medicated shampoos can help to stop dandruff in short term but not cure the root cause.

waiting for hair to dry now

For ppl with no scalp issues, can transit to no poo for better scalp and hair.


For ppl with scalp issues, try to diagnose the cause of the problems first , fix it with the proper treatment before looking at no poo..

For eg. Tea tree oil does help with inflammations on the scalp but makes it drier. For dry scalp it has to be blended with a moisturising base (ACV maybe) or mixed with a little coconut oil.

For dirty and oily scalp, baking soda works well in exfoliation but being abrasive, it may be too harsh for neutral to dry scalp.

Everyone has a different formula that works best for them.

But yeah its important to massage the scalp regardless of condition in order to let the scalp absorb better, and to clear the dandruffs.

Any scalp specialist recommended here?
