Dandruff Caused by Dry Scalp
Dandruff, often caused by an oily scalp and the presence of Malassezia yeast, results in larger, oily flakes. It's more about scalp oil regulation than just dryness.
If your dandruff is persistent or accompanied by itching, redness, or oily scales, it may be due to seborrheic dermatitis or another medical condition that might require specific treatment such as antifungal shampoos or medications prescribed by a healthcare provider. In such cases, using MYHG products can complement your treatment plan by providing additional moisture and support.
