Well, none of us here are unfamiliar with what dandruff is and what a nightmare those itchy flakes can be. Now dandruff, based on the reason behind them appearing on your scalp, can be of two kinds – wet and dry. Dry dandruff would be the one that’s spread across your scalp and even leaves traces on your clothes. We all remember those flakes on the clothes of Saif – Kareena and Ranveer Singh, in the ads, don’t we?
However, wet dandruff is a different ball game altogether. Your scalp releases sebum, a kind of secretion which helps in keeping your hair hydrated. In case the sebum secretion is more than normal, it leaves your hair feeling sticky and oily. This might result in oily scales on your scalp, which could lead to wet dandruff. Wet dandruff is the stubborn kind, so it sticks to your scalp, and doesn’t let go easily.
So, if you are a victim of this nuisance, that leaves your hair feeling dirty, dull and sticky, here are some easy ways to deal with them:
