A very quick question about dandruff - ugh

I have dandruff but it's very very fine, like sand, and there's no itching. Is this still dandruff, do you think, or another skin condition?

I've been using Nizorel without any success - has anyone got any other recommendations, please? Thank you.

Ducray anti dandruff shampoos work really well I have found. They have one for dry and one for oily scalps.

They smell nice and feel like "normal" shampoo IYKWIM.

You may just have a dry scalp. Dandruff has a fungal cause to it, so you would have some itching. Probably the Nizoral has killed the dandruff but because it is quite harsh and drying, you now have been left with a dry scalp.

Try a shampoo with tea tree oil or salicylic acid but no SLS which will help rebalance your scalp.

I agree
Get shampoo without silicone

Hard to find, Avon do a great products
Look at the curly girl method for recommendations for silicone free shampoo and conditioner
