Would you ever try a treatment like this? Share with us below!

[@noahshrek8728]

Yep!

[@maraespiritu1622]

I will definitely try this! My scalp has been suffering from dandruff since when I was a child and whenever I'm using shampoo especially conditioner, my scalp would dry out easily creating flakes everywhere. I badly needed this treatment.

[@kaybee23]

Absolutely! I’d love to try this. Her hair looks wonderful.

[@rach496]

Please put in the description the information on this stylist! Yes I want this treatment!

[@alizah.2011]

Yes because u have dandruff.

Appel cider vinegar

[@Manon12092000]

Hey ! You could use baking soda mixed with shampoo on your scalp, you let it sit for 15 minutes and then you rinse with water

[@florenceandthemakeup]

I highly recommend Kerastase scalp pre shampoo treatment. It’s a game changer!

[@nathalie4508]

[@eviesakura9057]

When they showed her scalp i was expecting a ton of dandruff but it wasn’t that bad. I suffer from itchy scalp with terrible terrible dandruff. It comes and goes as it pleases. I hope i cab get a treatment like this one one day

[@MarshasJourney]

Try using apple cidar vinegar. I apply it to my scalp for 10 to 25 mins before washing. It got rid of my dandruff

[@any1218]

Try Oranozol. It’s medical shampoo and it really helped me since I have seboreja.

[@winterrrsea1674]

You can do this at home! I massage a gentle scrub of olive oil and sugar on my scalp and oil my ends like once a month before washing my hair and it helps. Also it's really worth figuring out the cause of the problem so you don't have to just keep masking it with temporary fixes though. ACV solutions sometimes help too :)

[@madisondeluzio4324]

What my mom does is put a lot of COCONUT OIL on my scalp and then puts DESITIN on my scabs and then I wash it out in 24 hrs. It works!

[@jill8131]

I used to have the same problem and my way to get rid of the dandruff was dying my hair, it sounds crazy but it worked for me :)

[@AlyAddiction92]

There's a difference between dandruff and dry scalp. Both can flake, but dandruff is a medical condition and thus needs special treatment. This sounds like dry scalp which is just dry skin

[@irenackerman]

And she always scratches it. Most of the time you only want to scratch what is dry. Even when you scratch your hands you will get dry skin flakes. Same with the head

[@Maria-ei2jj]

Also, she said psoriasis at 1:36 Like wtf girl u know how psoriasis looks like???!!!

[@shumailakz4115]

@Mika J stop using coconut oil it doesn't suit many people, it dries my skin and hair as well, instead use olive oil, alomond oil, castor oil or you can mix all these in equal quality and add few drops of tea tree oil it helps to get rid if dandruff

[@imarockstarification]

Both dandruff and dry scalp can itch. And she did say she might have psoriasis which can really itch. We don't see enough of her scalp to make any conclusions based on this video.

[@PopekMalinka]

There is a lot of skin conditions that cause this.

[@Cynni393]

I'm Black with type 4 hair and here's my routine whenever my hair/scalp had dandruff and flaking issues. I would was with the VOS Dry scalp shampoo and conditioner, then I would deep condition either for an hour or overnight if it was late. Then I'd wash out the conditioner, I'd separate my hair into 4 sections and apply my leave in(use your favorite leave in,I use AS I AM leave in conditioner), then I oil my scalp with the Sulfur 8 hair medicated hair dress,it was what was recommended for me when I was younger and I had to go back to what had always worked. Then I appy my favorite Curl Cream(I use AS I AM curl cream). Then I apply my hair grease like original Blue Magic or Softee hair food (the green one). I love hair grease,it's one of the biggest things that helps grow my hair,it helps reduce breakage and seal in the moisture. I then style it into protective twists and put on my satin bonnet. I work in the hospital as a PCT, so I wear a cute scrub bonnet there so my hair is rarely out and has time to rest

[@refinery29]

+cynnamonx Thank you so much for these thoughtful tips!! 😊

[@KLB1218]

I love your routine! It is similar to mine, minus the dandruff, but it’s what increases hair growth, especially when in a protective style.

[@alisharo58]

I recently started using grease again too, after ditching it for a long time. I just have a hard time getting moisture into my hair beforehand... I haven't found my holy grail deep conditioner yet :(

[@Cynni393]

@@alisharo58 well honestly I know this sounds weird but at Dollar Tree there are these big Purple bottles of shampoo and conditioner and the conditioner is AMAZING! I use it for my deep conditioning before I wash my hair because it softens everything or when I need a deep condition while washing but I usually deep condition before I wash.

[@emilianowaczewski4605]

What hair type do u have?

[@ruthiebaby3055]

3b

[@TheLadydanni]

Sorry if this is redundant but are you moisturizing in between and conditioning after shampooing? I'm 4C and my hair flakes like nothing with regular oil

[@ruthiebaby3055]

TheLadydanni - no worries. Conditioning yes. And I’ve also started applying hair food directly to my scalp. About half an inch between each part of hair.

[@user-bo1wx3qw2r]

Try doing a hot oil scalp treatment for a few hours before you shampoo it. Also you could try using co wash sometimes instead of regular shampoo. I only shampoo when my hair gets very greasy with product build up otherwise i started co washing mostly.

[@sabrinatatalias4277]

Her hair also looks so rejuvenated after the treatment!!!

[@lizzieb.cooking4667]

I’m happy that she is happy with her results but I do almost this exact same treatment at home myself. There are products on the market you can buy and do this yourself. Just get a medicated anti dandruff shampoo. A scalp massager. Tea tree conditioner. A hot head microwaveable heat cap. And some coconut oil.

[@BucketCharlie]

It's nice when someone else does it, though. Gives you a little while to relax.

[@lizzieb.cooking4667]

Bucket, Charlie yeah that’s true. I guess I meant more for maintaining a healthy scalp cause I have issues with itchy flaky scalp and being able to do it at home has helped with the problem. And saved money!

[@ashleycreason1986]

Treatments like this are very popular in Japanese culture. I follow someone who had an extensive treatment done... It was, like, long... Like 2 hours of treatment long with lots of creams and serums and massaging. I'm still sooo jealous of that treatment she got! 💜✌🏼

[@caliwali77]

I would just go in to get my hair washed, it looks so relaxing the way the hair stylist does it ^_^

[@jenmej]

That hair wash looked so relaxing. Family secret for dandruff, use apple juice. Leave on for an hour then rinse. Only had to do once like 6 years ago and cured. Other family members have done it too. First try to scratch off the dead skin layer with a comb. You can have someone do this for you. Then spray with apple juice. It will feel so cooling. I haven't had dandruff since. I should also add that this only works with dry scalp dandruff. If u have other skin conditions then please consult a dermatologist.

[@BarbaraLovesDogs]

this won’t help for long, she needs to wash with ketoconazole shampoo regularly

[@AndisweatherCenter]

I have seborrheic dermatitis, which causes oily, flaky yellow dandruff. It is a condition in which natural yeast that grows on the skin that feast on oil causes areas of the scalp to lose water and dandruff forms as a way to protect the scalp from losing water. The best way to treat seborrheic dermatitis is to use dandruff shampoos especially like T-SAL/GEL and to use antifungal creams and ointments.

[@GenevieveMathews-bu4ve]

This won't get rid of itchy scalp. If your itchy scalp really bothers you, go to a dermatologist. I went to one and got diagnosed with Seborrheic dermatitis, and was prescribed a ketoconazole shampoo. It has helped with my itchy scalp a lot! Given, Seborrheic dermatitis can't be cured. This gal may know a bit about the scalp, but she doesn't know as much as a dermatologist does.

[@chikihc]

If you have dry scalp or itchy scalp that's not too extreme, try hair masks specialized for scalp. My sister used scalp scrub as well as the mask from Biolage Scalppure brand and she said the itch was gone rightaway

[@KazzieBB]

A few years ago i had an AWFUL bout of seborrheic dermatitis due to my depression. I'm talking flakes the size of quarters and weird irritated, oily patches of skin. If you're suffering from that i suggest a tea tree oil and mint shampoo. I was prescribed a topical cream as well but found the best results from mint treatments. You can also use honey on the site but i personally don't like the smell of it.

[@itsdriaworld5165]

[@angii4818]

I had this problem once and it was very severe i had flakes on my head it was just terrible , I have had eczema once and they said it came back but on my scalp and later on I was told that the reason I had really bad dandruff was because I had an fungal infection on my head but I got shampoos for dandruff got dewormed and it took a year to heal but I am fine now but the fungus ended up spreading to my face so yeah that was even worse cause I got patches but if you are having problems like I did you should go to the doctor and get checked out and they will prescribed a medication for you and they prescribed this ointment called Whitefield for me and it was amazing Hope this helped 😋😁

[@Ananyamalhotra777]

Hey, I suffered from that too. I think consulting a dermatologist would help as most shampoos and mask only work in short term and the dandruff may return.

[@diamonddiamond4066]

I had the same problem and I began using the Nioxin scalp recovery kit and haven’t had a problem since. The first wash got rid of most of the dandruff I was so impressed so I can vouch for them.

[@babyofbk12]

I thought I just had dry scalp/dandruff but I went to a dermatologist and she said I have seborrheic dermatitis. I was prescribed a shampoo and an oil that worked really well. I now only use the shampoo but the neutrogena tgel and the target brand work almost as well

[@lizzieb.cooking4667]

I tried all the dandruff shampoos. Nizoral saved me. Turns out I didn’t have dandruff I had a fungal infection. (Gross I know, but most people gave it too and they think it’s dandruff). But Nizoral cured it in like two washes.
