Seeing those flakes on your shoulders makes you look like you are carrying your own personal snowfall. Just use a basic anti-dandruff shampoo twice a week to melt that snow away easily.

Those white flakes are so embarrassing on black t-shirts, yaar. Actually, washing your hair with lukewarm water instead of hot water really helps reduce the scalp dryness.

I logged my hair washes on my lifestyle app and realized daily washing was drying out my scalp. Try switching to a medicated anti-dandruff shampoo twice a week to keep the flakes away.

My elders always suggested applying curd on the scalp to cool the itchiness, which works sometimes. However, if the flakes are constant, it is much safer to visit a dermatologist and get a proper medicated lotion.

Hormonal issues like PCOS can cause both oily scalp and thinning hair with flakes. I found that managing my diet and using a dermatologist-recommended lotion helped, but you should consult your doctor for a personalized treatment plan.
