(Hair loss) Dry dandruff, wet dandruff... Different remedies for each type?

Many people worry when they see dandruff in their hair in the mirror. In fact, dandruff is divided into dry dandruff and oily dandruff, and the treatment methods differ depending on the type.

 

◇ Thin and white dandruff if dry

 

Dry dandruff is caused by a lack of moisture in the scalp, leading to the shedding of dead skin cells. It is mainly thin, flat, and white in color. The particles are fine and lightweight, so they can be found on shoulders, hair, pillowcases, and other areas. Dry dandruff often occurs when you haven't washed your hair for a long time or haven't rinsed thoroughly, leaving shampoo residues that irritate the scalp. At this time, it is important to supply sufficient moisture to the scalp with hair packs or treatments. It is also advisable not to use a hairdryer that can strip away the necessary moisture.

 

It is recommended to remove moisture with a towel and let it dry naturally.

◇If it appears yellowish and sticky, it is oily dandruff

 

If you wash your hair well but still frequently get dandruff, it could be oily dandruff. Oily dandruff is characterized by large, yellowish flakes and a sticky texture. It is often caused by dead skin cells and sebum sticking together and adhering to the scalp.

 

Oily dandruff occurs when the scalp produces excessive sebum. It can also be caused by hormonal imbalance, excessive proliferation of scalp cells, irregular lifestyle habits, and other factors. Oily dandruff can worsen into seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp, accompanied by redness and inflammation. If left untreated, the inflammation can spread to other areas and may lead to hair loss, so caution is advised.

 

If you have oily dandruff, wash your hair daily to regulate sebum secretion and avoid scratching your scalp vigorously with your nails.

 

Meanwhile, washing the hair with dandruff-specific shampoo is the most effective treatment and prevention method for both dry and oily dandruff. It is also important to regulate indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity to maintain a proper balance of moisture and oil on the scalp. Since scalp health affects hair loss, if dandruff increases, or if itching becomes severe or inflammation occurs frequently, it is recommended to visit a dermatologist for consultation.
