With most people avoiding the pandemic by safely staying at home, we’ve been noticing an uptick in requests for effective dandruff shampoos and home remedies. But getting to the root of the problem really starts with having a look at your indoor environment and lifestyle, as these can greatly affect your scalp biome. If you’re experiencing a sudden change in your scalp, from itchiness to dry flakes, it’s time you check our quick list below to find the source of your dandruff.
Infrequent Shampooing
The shampoo isn’t just there to remove outside dirt and pollution. The right shampoos can do a lot to help remove the build-up of dead skin cells and oils on your scalp. Try our best selling hair cleanser, Davines Purifying Shampoo: For Oily or Dry Dandruff, P1085, it works fast, thorough, and is effective for treatment for all types of dandruff. We also have back bar liter size used by salons so you never run out.
Too Much Shampoo and Showering
The reverse may also be a contributing factor. If you take multiple showers in a day, too much shampooing can dry your scalp and strands, leaving it itchy and prone to flakes. If multiple showers are unavoidable especially during a pandemic make sure you’re using a mild daily cleanser that won’t harm your scalp. We recommend using Kérastase Spécifique Anti-Dandruff Shampoo, P1750. A mild anti-dandruff shampoo that leaves you flake-free while still keeping strands soft and revitalized.
Seasonal Dandruff
The lockdowns have had a significant effect on our routines. Lack of sunlight, stress, a dry indoor environment, and weather changes can affect the state of our scalp. For this try L'Oréal Serie Expert Instant Clear Pure Anti-Dandruff Shampoo, P720, specifically designed for occasional dandruff, it’s good to have this in your arsenal when beating back dandruff.
Missing Your In-Salon Scalp Treatment
If you are unable to visit your salon for your regular scalp treatment, you may be experiencing more dandruff than usual. To tie you over while waiting for things to come back to normal, consider doing a DIY salon scrub on your scalp. Start with L'Oréal Hair Spa Ice Scalp Scrub, an exfoliating treatment with a cooling effect, that refreshes and eliminates impurities in minutes.
