What is dandruff?
Dandruff is a common skin condition that causes white or grey flakes of skin to appear on the scalp and in the hair, which can occasionally fall onto the shoulders. The resulting symptoms include a red, cracked or scaly scalp that feels dry, uncomfortable and itchy.
Dandruff isn’t harmful and you can’t catch it, but it can cause discomfort and affect confidence. Dandruff and scalp irritation can be caused or worsened by the conditions listed below. Stress and cold weather may also make dandruff worse.
- Eczema
- Contact Dermatitis
- Psoriasis
- Cradle Cap
- Seborrheic Dermatitis
- Tinea Capitis, known as ringworm
Are sulfates bad for dandruff?
Certain chemicals can stress out sensitive scalps, exacerbating flakes rather than eliminating them. Sulfates, parabens and silicones are just some of the common culprits that can worsen symptoms of dandruff:
- Sulfates can strip hair of necessary natural oils, making your scalp susceptible to bacterial build–up and dryness
- Parabens are synthetic chemicals often used as preservatives that can irritate the scalp and worsen chronic dandruff
- Silicones can clog your pores, causing product build-up that leads to increased scalp irritation and flakes
Thanks to our Purely Positive Promise, all Grow Gorgeous products are proudly vegan, cruelty-free and expertly formulated without parabens, sulphates, silicones, phthalates or mineral oil.
How many times a week should I wash my hair if I have dandruff?
Dandruff is not caused by poor hygiene, but it may be more obvious if you do not wash your hair regularly. Provided you’re choosing products that respect your scalp’s natural oils, how often you lather up is really down to your personal preference. Regular cleansing helps to get rid of sweat and sebum that builds up throughout the day and overnight.
