A flaky scalp does NOT automatically mean dandruff.
And dandruff is NOT always Seborrheic dermatitis. 👀
A lot of people lump every itchy, flaky scalp condition into the same category, but the causes, symptoms, and care approaches can be very different.
This week we’re diving deeper into:
✨ What Seborrheic dermatitis actually is
✨ How it differs from dandruff
✨ Signs people often overlook
✨ Why some “dry scalp” routines make it worse
✨ How buildup, oils, inflammation, and yeast can all play a role
✨ When it may be time to seek professional help
Because understanding your scalp matters just as much as understanding your hair.
And trust me… some of y’all have been calling everything “dry scalp” for YEARS. 🥴💜
