Dry Dandruff: Causes, Treatment & Prevention

There are two types of dandruff

Dry dandruff occurs when the scalp lacks natural sebum protection, causing the moisture on the scalp to dry out, crack, and shed as tiny flakes. Regularly moisturizing the scalp is the most efficient solution for treating dry scalp.

An overgrowth of Malassezia mainly causes oily dandruff due to excess oil secretion from the sebaceous glands.

Symptoms of DRY dandruff:

  • Dry scalp without natural sebum protection which remains the moisture on the scalp.
  • Your scalp is dry and Itchy.
  • The flakes are dry.
  • The flakes are smaller in size.
  • The flakes are white in color.

“I have noticed less sensitivity on my scalp and my hair is softer than before. The dandruff is not completely gone but has subsided quite a bit. I like that this shampoo doesn’t have a strong scent and it is very easy to use.”

Q&A

Is it recommended to shampoo daily if I have a dry scalp?

Shampoo frequency depends on scalp oil secretion, protecting its moisture balance. Dry scalp secretes less oil, so daily washing can disrupt moisture levels.

For dry scalp, daily shampooing is unnecessary. If desired, use a mild, anti-sensitive shampoo.

Can I apply hair conditioner on my super dry scalp?

It’s not recommended to apply hair conditioner directly to your scalp. While it may help soothe a dry scalp, it can also trigger dandruff due to being difficult to rinse off. Hair conditioner is formulated to nourish hair strands, not to moisturize the scalp. At AROMASE, we recommend using scalp spray to soothe your scalp without causing any irritation or clogging.

What sets oily dandruff and dry dandruff apart?

Oily dandruff is usually caused by an overgrowth of Malassezia due to excess oil secretion from the sebaceous glands, which can stimulate the scalp and lead to dandruff formation.

Dry dandruff occurs when the scalp lacks natural oils, causing the scalp to dry out and shed flakes. Regularly moisturizing the scalp is the best solution for treating dry scalp.

Could you please clarify why AROMASE shampoo has a pH level of 5.5?

The ideal pH for the scalp is ranged between 6 to 6.2 but when you factor in the value of water, which is at 6.5 to 8.5, you need a shampoo with a pH of 4.7 to 5.5 to attain a healthy scalp pH balance.
