Which dandruff do you have?

Do you have an oily scalp or a dry, itchy scalp?

Not all dandruff is the same, so knowing which type you have is key to getting good results from your shampoo. For this reason, Alpecin has formulated shampoos that energise your hair and treat your specific dandruff condition.

The below will help you identify which dandruff you have and which Alpecin shampoo you should use.

Difference:

Dry Scalp (itchy, sensitive scalp)

Dry dandruff flakes

Dandruff (oily scalp)

Oily dandruff flakes

Difference in appearance

Small, fine and dry flakes are often accompanied by an itchy scalp.

Oily, larger and plaque-like flakes that are yellow or white.

Causes

Dry scalps are caused by a low level of sebum activity. This means water evaporates easily from the skin’s barrier, compromising the scalp’s natural balance. The result is an itchy, dry and sensitive scalp.

A main cause of dandruff can be an oily scalp due to highly active sebaceous glands. The excess of oil can lead to an extensive growth of microorganisms and therefore to visible dandruff and an irritated scalp.
