Itchy, Flaky, Dry....Oily? These words don't seem like they should be linked together when we talk about scalp issues, but did you know that Dandruff- (not just dry scalp) is actually flaky skin coated in a thick layer of sebum (oil).
The majority of us suffer with plain old dry skin on our scalps, after all this is skin too. We can often be so generous when looking after the skin on our face, hands and anywhere I guess visible to the world while forgetting our "crown".
In the salon more and more people are presenting with thick flaky dry patches of skin that becomes so out of control they feel like they have their own person snow machine following them around.
So, what is it and why is it happening? Truth is there is no simple answer- first step is to check with the doctor if you're worried, it could be caused by dietary, hereditary or stress factors.
