Say Goodbye to Dandruff: Tips & Treatments That Actually Work

Dandruff may be common—but that doesn’t mean it’s cute. White flakes on your outfit, an itchy scalp during your glam routine? No thanks! At Hera Grace, we believe beauty starts at the root—and that means a healthy, flake-free scalp.

If dandruff is ruining your good hair days, here’s everything you need to know (and do) to kick those flakes to the curb.

🌟 What Causes Dandruff?

Let’s uncover the main culprits behind those pesky flakes:

• Dry scalp (especially in winter)

• Excess oil production

• Fungal growth (Malassezia, your scalp’s not-so-friendly yeast)

• Product build-up from styling sprays and dry shampoos

• Sensitivity or skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis

💁‍♀️ Signs You Might Have Dandruff

• Constant scalp itchiness

• Visible white or yellow flakes

• Dryness or irritation on the scalp

• Red, inflamed scalp patches

💧 How to Treat Dandruff Like a Pro

1. Switch to Anti-Dandruff Shampoo

Look for shampoos with:

• Zinc Pyrithione – targets fungus

• Salicylic Acid – exfoliates flakes

• Ketoconazole – antifungal action

• Tea Tree Oil – soothes irritation

 2. Oil Massage Once a Week

Use coconut oil or neem oil to hydrate your scalp and reduce itching. Massage it in gently before your shower.

3. Scalp Exfoliation = Game Changer

Try a DIY scrub with brown sugar + aloe vera + tea tree oil to remove dead skin and buildup. Use it weekly.

4. Avoid Hot Water

Hot water strips moisture from your scalp. Always rinse with lukewarm water to retain hydration.

 5. Detox Your Hair Products

Say goodbye to alcohol-heavy hair sprays and gels. Choose lightweight, scalp-friendly formulas.
