In recent years my scalp has been on and off flaky. I'm not sure if it's dandruff or something else. Sometimes it itches a lot. It's particularly noticeable around the hairline. If I look through my roots I can see sheets of dry skin sort of lifting up ready to flake off Sometimes it's almost like cradle cap around my temples. I have tried the following:
Head & Shoulders (this actually makes it worse)
The Lush dandruff shampoo bar (can't remember what it's called)
T Gel
The Body Shop Ginger Shampoo
None of the above have helped. I've also tried that balm stuff in a metal tub from Lush that you rub into the scalp and leave for a bit before shampooing. Sometimes that seems to help a little, but it's hard to work it into the scalp anywhere other than the hairline. Any advice? Would some sort of oil treatment help, like olive oil? I have very fine, limp hair, so I'm reluctant to do something like that unless someone tells me it works. I thought oil might have a better shot at getting all over the scalp than the balm!
