I’m fine immediately after showering, but it’s a mini-snowstorm if I go through my hair in the morning having showered the night before. Been that way for years, but far better than it was back when I used “anti-dandruff” shampoos that just made it worse. Hair is short, doesn’t feel oily or only slightly. Happens across a variety of shampoos I’ve tried, though I’ll admit I haven’t looked beyond the 3-in-1 body wash shampoo combos. Sorry if this is a bit unappealing. Anyone else have a sort of “baseline” amount of dandruff? Or found a solution to this?
In the UK. I’ve found the best treatment has been coal based shampoo. I use T-Gel.
Lather hair with normal shampoo to remove hair gel/dirt/sweat and then rinse and repeat with a small amount of coal based.
Leave it to soak into my scalp for a few minutes before washing off.
3 in 1 shampoo is terrible for yoir scalp.
Tbh it doesnt sound like you have dandruff, more like psoriasis or plain dry scalp.
T-Gel is no longer available in Canada possibly elsewhere. Apparently there’s a lawsuit.
Well fuck.
Although I’ve been using it on and off for 30 years so I’m probably fucked already
I feel a little relieved to stop using it, tbh. Every time I read the label, I couldn’t help but think it must be bad. I’ve found that Head and Shoulders is enough to keep flakes in check (it wasn’t before the T-Gel), so I’m just worrying about that now. 😂
I think im addicted to the smell tbh.
Your nose yearns for the mines.
If you like the weird scent of coal tar—I’m not judging, I do too—you might also like pine tar soap. Pine tar serves much the same function in soaps as coal tar, so that’s a bonus as well.
It’s clearly a scent derived from pines, not coal, but it appeals to my nose in much the same way. They’re both in the same family of weirdness.
All solid advice. May also have an ingredient sensitivity to something like “sodium laureth sulphate”, which can cause dry skin and flaking, or massively inflame existing psoriasis or dry skin.
