Hello, this is Suji from Grace Spa. 😊 Have you ever been bothered by white flakes on your shoulders when you look in the mirror? Or experienced a tingling sensation from scratching your itchy scalp? Yes, you’re right. This common concern is known as ‘dry dandruff’. We often associate dandruff with oily scalps, but dandruff caused by dryness is actually quite common. It’s just like when your skin gets dry and flaky in the winter.
A while ago, a client came to us with a very dry scalp, with severe flaking and dandruff. To solve her problem, I provided a thorough scalp scaling and head spa treatment myself. Today, I want to share that vivid experience and tell you everything about dry dandruff. Shall we uncover the secrets to a healthy scalp together?
Why Does Dry Dandruff Occur? 🤔
Dandruff is the shedding of scalp skin cells. It’s generally classified into dry and oily types. While oily dandruff results from excessive sebum production, dry dandruff is caused by a lack of moisture due to extreme scalp dryness, leading to peeling. It’s exactly like how your skin becomes flaky in winter. In dry environments like Michigan, your scalp is particularly vulnerable, so special care is needed.
Dry dandruff often appears as fine, dry, white flakes that fall onto your shoulders, whereas oily dandruff is sticky and clumpy, adhering to the hair. It’s important to first identify your type of dandruff!
What Makes Grace Spa’s Scalp Scaling Special? ✨
At Grace Spa, we don’t just shampoo; we focus on accurately diagnosing your scalp condition and providing customized care. For clients with severe dry dandruff like the one mentioned, I recommended our ‘Hydrating Scalp Spa’ program, which simultaneously hydrates and exfoliates the scalp. We particularly focused on balancing the scalp’s moisture and oil levels using our special ampoules.
Scalp scaling is not about forcibly removing dead skin cells. The key is to gently soften and remove impurities clogging the pores, allowing the scalp to breathe and creating an optimal environment for nutrients to be absorbed. Our scalp spa service is pain-free and leaves you feeling refreshed and revitalized.
The Amazing Transformation of Scalp Scaling 📝
What surprised me the most during the client’s treatment was the dramatic before-and-after difference.
- Before Treatment: Her entire scalp was covered in dry, white flakes that continued to fall even after shampooing. Her hair lacked volume, and there were red, irritated spots from scratching.
- After Treatment: After the professional scalp scaling and head spa, the redness on her scalp was visibly reduced, and the white flakes clogging the pores were completely gone. Her scalp was well-hydrated, and her hair had regained its natural shine and volume. I was so proud when she told me, “I can’t believe how refreshing and clean my scalp feels!”
Home Care Tips: Hydrate Your Scalp! 🧖♀️
While professional help is crucial, consistent at-home care is also essential for a healthy scalp. Here are a few simple tips for those struggling with dry dandruff.
- Adjust Shampoo Temperature: Water that’s too hot can strip your scalp’s natural oils, making it even drier. Use lukewarm water for shampooing.
- Use Gentle Shampoo: Opt for a shampoo specifically for dry scalps and apply a scalp essence or serum for added moisture after washing.
- Scalp Massage: Gently massaging your scalp with your fingertips while shampooing can improve blood circulation and contribute to scalp health.
- Stay Hydrated: Lack of body hydration can lead to a dry scalp. Make it a habit to drink plenty of water throughout the day.
