How to choose
Struggling with white flakes and an itchy scalp? Dandruff is caused by an overgrowth of a yeast that naturally lives on your scalp. Stress, hormonal changes, a dry scalp or certain hair products can trigger it. You can keep it well under control, but it often comes back.
How to tackle it:
- Shampoo: the NAK Dandruff Control Shampoo, made specifically for dandruff, flaking and itching.
- Conditioner: only on your lengths and ends, never on your scalp. The NAK Volume Conditioner is a light choice that doesn’t weigh down your scalp.
- Scrub: the ORI Lab Refresh Scalp & Body Scrub to deep-clean your scalp now and then.
Is your scalp more sensitive or irritated than flaky? Then take a look at sensitive scalp.
Frequently asked questions
Everything you want to know
How long does an anti-dandruff shampoo take to work?
Use it consistently for a few weeks. Don’t stop as soon as your scalp feels calmer, or the dandruff comes back faster.
Is dandruff contagious?
No. The yeast that causes dandruff lives naturally on everyone’s scalp. Dandruff appears when it gets out of balance.
When should you see a dermatologist about dandruff?
If the dandruff is severe, comes with redness or a lot of irritation, or doesn’t improve after 4 to 6 weeks of consistent use of an anti-dandruff shampoo.
