Expert Tip
If flakes keep returning, consistency is key. Use your anti-dandruff shampoo as directed and allow it to sit on the scalp for a few minutes before rinsing — this gives the active ingredients time to work properly.

Your Guide to Dandruff-Prone Scalp
Why the Scalp Can Become Dandruff-Prone
Dandruff is a common scalp condition that can cause visible flakes, itching and irritation. It can be associated with factors such as excess oil and an overgrowth of naturally occurring scalp yeast, and symptoms may also be influenced by stress, weather and individual scalp characteristics. Because dandruff can sometimes look similar to a dry or irritated scalp, understanding what’s causing the flaking is important when choosing the right care.
Best Products for a Dandruff-Prone Scalp
Look for anti-dandruff shampoos specifically formulated to target flakes and help keep the scalp clean and comfortable. Depending on the formula, these may contain active anti-dandruff ingredients alongside gentle cleansing and scalp-care ingredients. Follow the product directions carefully and avoid treating dandruff simply by adding heavy oils or moisturising products, as dandruff and dry scalp are not necessarily the same concern.
