Flaky Hair
Small white flakes on the shoulder, an unpleasant tingling on the scalp, and constant scratching – many people are familiar with flaky hair. In fact, it is one of the most common scalp problems. But what is really behind it? And what does the scalp need to regain its balance?
What problems does flaky hair cause and what needs does it have?
Dandruff occurs when skin cells on the scalp renew too quickly and shed in visible flakes. There are many possible triggers: a disturbed skin barrier, an imbalanced microbiome, dryness, hormonal fluctuations, or external factors such as stress, cold, or harsh care products.
What flaky scalp definitely needs: targeted care that soothes, restores the natural balance, and strengthens the skin barrier.

Top tips for flaky hair
Gentle cleansing
Reach for gentle shampoos without aggressive ingredients. A mild cleansing soothes irritated scalp without further drying it out or disturbing its natural balance.
Protect the microbiome
The scalp has its own microbiome – and it needs care. Care products with prebiotic or soothing ingredients help to stabilize the natural balance and counteract dandruff in the long term.
Do not wash too often
Washing daily can further irritate and dry out the scalp. Washing two to three times a week is ideal for most – this way, the scalp's natural protective film remains intact.
Reduce stress
Stress is an underestimated trigger for scalp problems. Small breaks, relaxation rituals, and enough sleep support skin health – including that of the scalp – from the inside out.
