I think I have dandruff? Help
First don't panic. Second ask your stylist before you start using any dandruff products on your hair. Most people do not have dandruff - but rather a dry flaky scalp.
Dandruff is caused by bacteria. It always is yellow or orange coloured due to the sebum ( oil which comes from the hair shaft)
Dry scalp is an overshedding of dead and dehydrated skin cells caused by itching, scratching or over-combing and due to severe dehydration of the sebaceous glands. The shedding will be white in colour.
Dry scalp is usually attributed to bad products being used or a severe build-up of product on the hair and scalp.
Always ask a stylist for advice. The worst thing you can do is use a dandruff product if you suffer from a dry scalp as it dehyrates even more, making the problem worse.
