Dandruff, dry scalp, dry hair
Hi, I genetically have had silky hair, but recently I used herbal essence shampoo and my hair has become extremely dry. Apart from this, my major concern is dandruff, in the past year I have developed dandruff and it doesn't seem to ever go away, it sticks to the scalp and the scalp appears white, no matter how much I scrub it it doesn't go away. I oil it, shampoo it, it stays the same. I have also tried the ordinary glycolic acid in that area, it seems clean after wash but after a day the dandruff returns. I have recently heard the scalp pro anti dandruff shampoo to be working well. Can I use that? Or please suggest any other shampoo that would fix this stubborn dandruff and also shouldn't make my hair dry.

You are suffering from chronic dandruff, which can flare up with stress, weather changes, or hormonal issues. Using a medicated shampoo 2–3 times a week usually helps, but if it keeps coming back or worsens, it’s best to consult online for a tailored treatment plan.
