I have really bad dandruff, and I use a special shampoo. But my scalp feels dry if I use it daily. Should I be using dandruff shampoo every single day, or can I space it out?

Hey! Honestly, everyday might be too much. My scalp gets really dry if I use it daily, and then the dandruff actually gets worse. Maybe try every other day or twice a week first and see how your hair reacts?

For me, I found my dandruff was linked to other health issues, like thyroid imbalance. Not saying it's the same for you, but sometimes hair issues can be a sign of something else. Maybe get a general check-up done if it's persistent and bothering you a lot, along with consulting a dermatologist.
Definitely not every day. It's too harsh for daily use.
No, please don't use it everyday! Dandruff shampoos are quite strong and can dry out your scalp and hair, leading to more irritation. It's usually recommended to use them a few times a week, alternating with a gentle regular shampoo. Also, make sure you're rinsing thoroughly.

I've tried everything for my dandruff, trust me. Everyday use of anti-dandruff shampoo just made my scalp flaky and itchy in a different way.

Arre na na, bilkul nahi! Roz lagaoge toh scalp aur dry ho jayega na. Haaan, week mein 2-3 baar theek hai, zyada nahi. Aur accha conditioner bhi lagana phir.
