Choosing the Right Anti-Dandruff Shampoo: A Guide

How to Choose Your Anti-Dandruff Shampoo?

Choosing your anti-dandruff shampoo is not easy! How to identify your type of dandruff and pick the right shampoo?

What is Dandruff?

Dandruff is actually a collection of dead cells located at the roots, sometimes accompanied by itching or irritation on the scalp. They are easily identified on the scalp and quickly cover the surface of your clothes.

Why Do I Have Dandruff?

Dandruff is not due to lack of hygiene; it is simply a disruption of the sebaceous glands that causes excess sebum on the scalp. The skin barrier is weakened, the scalp is sensitized, and dandruff appears.

How to Identify Your Type of Dandruff?

To choose the right anti-dandruff shampoo, you need to identify the type of dandruff. There are two types:

• Dry dandruff, tiny and white, easily peeling, corresponds to a dry scalp.
• Oily dandruff, larger, corresponding to an oilier scalp. It is often referred to as seborrheic dermatitis.

This is an essential criterion to consider when treating your dandruff. So, when buying your shampoo, remember to check if it is recommended for dry or oily dandruff.

Choosing the Right Shampoo

An anti-dandruff shampoo is used to clean the scalp, combat excess sebum, and relieve irritation and itching.

• If your dry dandruff is not accompanied by specific problems (itching, patches, irritation), an anti-dandruff shampoo sold in supermarkets may be sufficient.
• If your dry dandruff causes mild discomfort, such as occasional itching: opt for a shampoo purchased at pharmacies or online stores with more powerful active ingredients.
• If you have oily dandruff: it will also be treated with pharmacy or online store shampoos.

In any case, choose a gentle anti-dandruff shampoo, as a too aggressive product can exacerbate the problem by further irritating the scalp. Also, it is essential to follow the given instructions (washing frequency, exposure time, etc.) to achieve good results.

When to Consult?

An over-the-counter shampoo from supermarkets, online stores, or pharmacies is sufficient in most common cases. But if your dandruff persists or is accompanied by itching or scalp irritation, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist to address the root of the problem. They will be able to determine the exact cause of your dandruff and prescribe suitable care, which is much more concentrated in active ingredients and effective than those sold freely.

Don't let dandruff ruin your life! Choosing the right anti-dandruff shampoo will bring back healthy and beautiful hair in no time!
