Going from flaky to fabulous: 5 easy tips to nurture a dandruff-prone scalp

At Simree, we think beauty starts at the root. When your scalp is healthy, your hair can grow strong and glowing.

Are you battling flakes, itchiness, or tightness?

With humid summer months, oil buildup from lotion and creams, and lack of scalp care, you may be experiencing dandruff – and harsh shampoos won't solve the root problem. With the right hydration and gentle care, your scalp can naturally flourish.

What causes dandruff?

Overactive oil glands

Fungal growth (Malassezia)

Sweat and humidity

Product buildup or harsh cleansers

There are two forms:

Dry dandruff - small, itchy flakes due to dehydration

 Oily dandruff - greasy, larger flakes due to excess oil or buildup

5 Simree-Recommended Solutions

1. Balance Instead of Stripping.

Use a sulfate-free cleanser. Mist Simree Moisture Lock Mist on your scalp post-wash to help calm and hydrate.

2. Hydrate Like Skin

Once your hair is towel-dried, spray Dual Hydration AM-PM Mist on your hairline and temples. It has a cooling effect and hydrates the scalp while also helping to cut down on excess sebum.

3. Oil Smart

Massage warm coconut and tea tree oil onto your scalp before shampooing. Apply it liberally, especially when massaging it into flaky patches on the crown and nape.

4. Weekly Exfoliation

Make a DIY herbal scalp scrub with fenugreek, multani mitti, and rose water, then follow it with a light application of Night Repair Oil Serum on the resin blocks on your scalp edges.

5. Mist Daily

Maintain balance in your scalp with a mist—perfect for post-shower care, midday refreshment, or a calming bedtime ritual.
