Q. My husband thinks he has dandruff. He’s using Head and Shoulders every day, and sometimes twice daily. Is this really good for his scalp?

A. Strong, dandruff products should NOT be used daily. This can provoke the "rebound effect" in the scalp, i.e.: scalps produce sebum (oil) as a natural event. When we remove too much, the scalp then goes into overtime, trying to make up the loss. It’s a "cause and effect"… Our recommendation is that our clients use this type of product no more than twice a week, if necessary. We really prefer to recommend those types of shampoos we know will remove the excess without drying out the scalp too much. Talk with your stylist (or his, if he has one) and see what they suggest. Many times, clients "think" they have dandruff, when in reality, they have "dry scalp" that flakes…caused by using too strong shampoo and/or shampooing too frequently.
