Dandruff & Scalp Buildup

A Healthy Scalp is the Foundation of Healthy Hair.

Dandruff and scalp buildup are among the most common hair concerns — and among the least talked about. Dandruff isn't simply dry skin; in most cases it's a reaction to a naturally-occurring scalp fungus (Malassezia) that causes accelerated skin cell turnover and visible flaking. Product buildup, on the other hand, accumulates silently and blocks follicles. Our scalp collection targets both: anti-fungal actives for dandruff, clarifying treatments for buildup, and soothing formulas for sensitive, reactive scalps.

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes dandruff?
In most cases, dandruff is caused by Malassezia globosa — a yeast that naturally lives on the scalp. It breaks down sebum into oleic acid, which irritates sensitive scalps and accelerates skin cell shedding. Anti-fungal ingredients target this directly.
Is dandruff the same as a dry scalp?
No. Dry scalp produces small, white, powdery flakes and often feels tight. Dandruff produces larger, oily or yellowish flakes and is usually accompanied by itching. Dry scalp needs moisture; dandruff needs anti-fungal treatment.
How often should I use an anti-dandruff shampoo?
For active dandruff, use 2–3x per week. Leave the shampoo on for 2–5 minutes before rinsing so active ingredients have time to work. Once dandruff is under control, reduce to 1x per week for maintenance.
Can product buildup cause flaking?
Yes. Heavy products (dry shampoo, wax, pomade) accumulate on the scalp and can mimic dandruff with white or grey flakes. Use a clarifying shampoo or scalp scrub monthly to remove buildup, and distinguish whether flaking continues after a clarifying wash.
