Dandruff vs Dry Scalp: How to Tell and What to Do

By Sumaiya·12 May 2025· 4 min

Most people treat dandruff with the wrong product because they confuse it with dryness.

Dandruff

Yellow oily flakes + itch — needs anti-fungal shampoo (ketoconazole / zinc pyrithione).

Dry scalp

Fine white flakes after washing — needs gentle cleanser + scalp moisture, not anti-dandruff actives.
