Let’s clear up a common mix-up. Dry scalp flakes are small and white, almost like tiny grains of salt. Dandruff, on the other hand, often throws larger, yellowish, oily flakes at the party—and they tend to stick to your scalp like unwanted guests. Dandruff is oily, while dry scalp is, well, dry. Simple, right?
If your flakes disappear with a gentle brush or a simple shampoo, you’re likely in the dry scalp camp. If they cling on like tiny, greasy clumps, dandruff might be the culprit. Either way, knowledge is your new best friend—and we’re just getting started.
