Flake Alert

“My hair is dry, and I have severe dandruff. I’ve tried several shampoos and conditioners that contain selenium sulfide — even expensive salon products, but non of them work. Help!”

Head straight to a dermatologist for prescription-strength products targeted and formulated for your particular hair problem (it could be psoriasis, not dandruff). In the meantime, nurse flakes with dandruff shampoos like Head & Shoulders, Neutrogena, T-Gel Shampoo, and Kerastase’s Purifying Lotion.

Frizz to Death

“I have a lot of dead, wavy hair. What causes them?”

Those hairs are not dead, they are just unconditioned. Simply follow the same advice for de-frizzing super wavy tresses. Apply hair serum before blow-drying to make your locks smooth and shiny. And keep your sun exposure in check; too much heat can bake your tresses dry. Spray on an SPF product made especially for the hair to protect your locks.

Since hair is a very important part of a woman’s body image, women are more likely to go through fear and anxiety compared to their male counterparts, who regard hair loss as part of aging. A practicing dermatologist cites that women go into “panic mode” when tey experience excessive thinning and hair loss. “Women really look at their hair, some even cry in frustration when they see clumps of hair falling out.”
