I’m fine immediately after showering, but it’s a mini-snowstorm if I go through my hair in the morning having showered the night before. Been that way for years, but far better than it was back when I used “anti-dandruff” shampoos that just made it worse. Hair is short, doesn’t feel oily or only slightly. Happens across a variety of shampoos I’ve tried, though I’ll admit I haven’t looked beyond the 3-in-1 body wash shampoo combos. Sorry if this is a bit unappealing. Anyone else have a sort of “baseline” amount of dandruff? Or found a solution to this?
UPDATE: Thanks everyone for the helpful replies! It was eye-opening to learn that it’s not always just “dandruff”. Turns out it was the 3-in-1 soap all along. I finally got myself a proper bottle of shampoo (sulfate free wasn’t much more expensive so I went for that) and realized that tight feeling when my hair dried was dry scalp. Super satisfying now that I can run my hand through my hair and eyebrows without getting an avalanche in my face.
I used sulphur soap to treat chronic dandruff and it worked on me. Its only about $2 for a bar.
One or two times a week at most otherwise it is very drying on hair.
It smells like sulphur but that washes out easily with regular shampoo after.
