I’m fine immediately after showering, but it’s a mini-snowstorm if I go through my hair in the morning having showered the night before. Been that way for years, but far better than it was back when I used “anti-dandruff” shampoos that just made it worse. Hair is short, doesn’t feel oily or only slightly. Happens across a variety of shampoos I’ve tried, though I’ll admit I haven’t looked beyond the 3-in-1 body wash shampoo combos. Sorry if this is a bit unappealing. Anyone else have a sort of “baseline” amount of dandruff? Or found a solution to this?
UPDATE: Thanks everyone for the helpful replies! It was eye-opening to learn that it’s not always just “dandruff”. Turns out it was the 3-in-1 soap all along. I finally got myself a proper bottle of shampoo (sulfate free wasn’t much more expensive so I went for that) and realized that tight feeling when my hair dried was dry scalp. Super satisfying now that I can run my hand through my hair and eyebrows without getting an avalanche in my face.
Look up the “no poo” movement. It’s been over 5 years since I washed my hair and it’s the best it’s ever been.
I did this for a bit. My barber lady commented how nice and healthy my hair was for the first time ever. Then I got a job that was too dirty to keep it up. Had metal dust on my scalp no matter how I tried cleaning with just water.
Added conditioner to the routine and that worked for that issue. Still no poo.
I’m so glad to see this in the comments. You can go no soap too.
