Flakes on your shoulders, an itchy scalp, or both? Dandruff is extremely common and nothing to be embarrassed about – and in the UK, hard water, central heating and cold weather can all make it worse in winter. A gentle routine that exfoliates, calms and rebalances the scalp is the key.
What causes dandruff?
Dandruff happens when the scalp sheds skin cells faster than normal. Oil, product build-up, dryness and an unbalanced scalp all play a part. Harsh shampoos can strip the scalp and make the cycle worse, so the aim is to cleanse gently and calm the skin.
Our 3-step dandruff routine
Step 1 – Cleanse: Exfoliating Shampoo
MY.ORGANICS Exfoliating Shampoo gently lifts flakes and build-up. Massage into the scalp, leave for a minute, then rinse well.
Step 2 – Condition: Fortifying Conditioner
Apply to the lengths and ends (not the scalp) to keep hair soft and strong without weighing down the roots.
Step 3 – Calm: Calming Refresh Spray
A light spray to soothe an itchy, uncomfortable scalp between washes. Spritz onto the scalp whenever it needs a refresh.
Weekly ritual – Dandruff Hair Mud
Once a week, apply the seaweed and clay Dandruff Hair Mud to the scalp before shampooing. It deep-cleans and rebalances – think of it as a face mask for your scalp.
Tips that help
- Rinse thoroughly – leftover product can irritate the scalp.
- Avoid very hot water.
- Don't scratch – it makes flaking worse.
- If your scalp is red, sore or not improving, see your GP or pharmacist.
