How to Get Rid of Dry Scalp Flakes
Many people are of the view that there is hardly any difference between dandruff and dry scalp flakes. However, there is certainly some difference between the two. Unlike dandruff that results from overproduction of sebum in the scalp by the sebaceous glands, the dry scalp flakes occur because of under secretion of sebaceous glands. When the sebaceous glands become dehydrated, this leads to dryness of the scalp skin. As a result, white flakes start appearing on the scalp, which gives the hairs a rather untidy look. There are many easy but effective ways to keep the dry scalp hydrated and thus eliminating the white flakes. Get an idea of the easy methods to get rid of Dry Scalp Flakes and enjoy!
