Dandruff and an itchy scalp are a bit like that noisy neighbor: No one invites them over, but they always find a way to crash. Between the little flakes that turn your shoulders into mini-snowy peaks and the itchy rash that makes your claws come out, it's time to take back control. Here's how to say "Bye-bye!"
What causes dandruff? đ€
Dandruff is often the result of an imbalance in the scalp. It can be caused by:
- Excess sebum: Too much sebum production can cause oily dandruff.
- Dry scalp: A scalp that is too dry can lead to dry dandruff.
- Unsuitable hair products: Some harsh shampoos or hair products can irritate the scalp.
- Specific health conditions: Such as seborrheic dermatitis or psoriasis.
- Environmental factors: Stress, dry climate, and lack of proper care.

Pro tip: No need to play lumberjack; go slowly, you're not cutting down a tree.
2. Co-Washing đ§

We leave with a poem!
An Unloved Snowflake
Dandruff, oh dandruff, little traitors,
On my head, in secret, you leave your caresses.
Winter dandruff, summer dandruff,
You ignore time, you like to persist.
Films in flight, on the shoulder placed,
Like snowflakes, but without snow or beauty.
Films, white, thin, untamable,
Why are you here, so unpleasant?
Under the comb, the dandruff is revealed,
Like a rain of ashes, a detail that rebels.
The shampoo stands up, ready to fight you,
Dandruff, know that you can be shot.
Annoying dandruff, which oil sometimes tames,
But often you come back, without law or faith.
Endless films, your days are numbered,
Because I will find a way to drive you out.
So, films, prepare your farewells,
The shine of healthy leather will come, luminous.
And in the mirror, without a film in sight,
I will smile, finally, at the peace found.
