Your scalp can be oily and dry at the same time. Mind-blowing, right? It happens when excess oil traps dead skin, creating flakes that feel dry but stick to greasy places.
Imagine a greasy pizza box left in the sun. The cheese dries out, but the box stays slick. That’s your scalp’s chaotic energy.
The Shampoo Conspiracy
Over-washing strips your scalp’s natural oils. Your skin panics and overproduces oil to compensate. The result? A greasy, flaky mess that looks dry but isn’t.
Under-washing is a different beast. Dead skin builds up like a tiny, itchy logjam. Your scalp screams, “Help!” but you can’t hear it over the flake storm.
