how to treat dandruff...

Tired of dusting flakes off of your shoulder? If you have dry scalp, you know exactly what I'm talking about. The good news is there are a few ways to treat dry, flaking scalp, and you can do it fairly quickly. Before you embark on a remedy, however, consult with your stylist to get the best analysis of your scalp.

The most common reason for dry flaking of the scalp is seasonal dryness. This is the easiest one to deal with because you can pick up a bottle of Bumble and bumble tonic shampoo and use it for several weeks instead of your Bb. sunday shampoo (the once weekly clarifier that most everyone should have). That, combined with your daily Bb. regime, should take care of the flaking.  

Often if you have chronic flaking, most people turn to over-the-counter shampoos. Unfortunately, this is not a good solution, especially long-term. Almost all of these shampoos contain harsh ingredients that cause your scalp to actually overexfoliate to the point of scalp stress. This can relieve some of the flaking but poses the possibility of damaging your scalp. Having a thorough consultation with your stylist is really important to determine the severity of your dandruff and whether or not it's oily or dry.

Chronic types of dandruff are caused by genetics, contact allergies and/or irritants. Only diagnosis by a dermatologist can determine the proper treatment. After your dermatologist visit, your stylist can work with you in recommending the appropriate choices in the Bumble & bumble hair-care line to compliment your doctor's treatment. Your stylist can also guide you in the best application method for your products. Further, some people have allergies to different types of hair color. If you have sensitivities, ask your stylist about alternative techniques of coloring. Just remember that you don't have to suffer with dandruff. Many things can be done to rid you of flakes, and your stylist can help.
