I keep having these flakes on the top of my head (only at a little part, not everywhere ) I first thought it might have been dry skin so I bought these L'Or?al ever riche shampoo and conditioner (golden packaging ) without SLS but I still have flakes. Please help me, it drives me crazy when I have just washed my hair they already appear :c.

Coconut oil masks helped me with that problem, some areas on my scalp get more dry than others and so far that's the only thing I have noticed that works for me.

Dandruff and dry scalp are two different problems and treating one can make to other worse.

Dandruff generally presents in clumpy, greasy, almost yellowish flakes. It is usually treated with antidandruff or antifungal shampoo.

Dry scalp presents with light, powdery, white flakes. It is usually treated with oil treaments or moisturising masks.
