Haircare expert Nicola Johnston from 81 Rose Garden Salon gives her advice for treating and preventing dandruff. She says: “A common cause of dandruff is simply not shampooing enough, resulting in your scalp producing excess oil which turns into oily yellow flakes.
“The majority of the time dandruff is very treatable with good hygiene methods and regular washing of your hair. Very mild dandruff is often easily treated with a gentle daily shampoo, or for more severe cases, an anti-fungal treatment could be prescribed to you by your doctor or pharmacist.”
