6 year old has dry flaky scalp

I've recently noticed that my 6yo dd has a dry flaky scalp. We have been using Childs farm shampoo for ages and never had an issue.

Any one any ideas what could be causing it and recommend any shampoos that would clear it?

Have you been using the sensitive scalp child’s farm?

I had this with my daughter. It was really bad. I used Alberto tea tree shampoo and conditioner. I think it’s quite mild to other tea tree shampoos. It seemed to work. I had tried dandruff shampoos but they were quite harsh.

@sucha no it's just the ordinary one I think- strawberry and mint, I thought they where all for sensitive skin?

@Shopkinsdoll Thank you. I was wondering if I could use normal dandruff shampoos as her hair is quite fine and easily damaged and gets full of knots quickly.

@Minnie123456 You could try the sensitive one, the orange and blue. Was great for my DDs head.

@sucha thank you, i'll have a look for it when i'm out again.
