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.
