Understanding Differences Between Dry Scalp and Dandruff for Proper Treatment
During winter, scalp flaking can result from either dry scalp or dandruff, which require different treatments. Dry scalp is caused by moisture loss due to cold weather, dry air, or harsh hair care, leading to small, powdery flakes and tightness. Dandruff stems from an overgrowth of the fungus Malassezia on oily scalps, producing larger, sticky flakes and itching. Using anti-dandruff shampoos on dry scalp may worsen irritation, so identifying the correct condition is essential for effective care.
