Although common in the wintertime, a dry, flaky scalp is uncomfortable and embarrassing. Step one in preventing dandruff is to take cooler, quicker showers to reduce the scalp’s exposure to drying hot water.

Think about switching to a dandruff or dry scalp specific shampoo line such as La Biosthetique’s unique anti-dandruff line, Dermosthetique Anti-Pelliculaire. Before hopping in the shower, massage the scalp with Vitamin E, olive, tea tree oil or coconut oil. These oils replenish natural scalp oils and can moisturize dry hair too.

Sometimes, the issue can be caused by product build-up — not winter weather. If you think this may be the case, rinse your hair with apple cider vinegar to clear out the gunk and then wash normally with shampoo.
