Dandruff/flaky scalp

Has anyone else suddenly got a flaky scalp during pregnancy? I've tried head and shoulders and a couple of other brands of anti-dandruff shampoo to no avail, with my head looking so disgusting I wouldn't be leaving my house even if we weren't on lockdown! Any tips to get rid? 😖

I suffer from this usually, and I find Nizoral is quite good to use. I also covered my scalp in coconut oil last week, left on for about 40 mins then washed it out and that eased it a bit too x

Thank you, I'll look into this! X

Following this thread because although I've never had this issue before, it hit almost soon soon as conception took place! It's itchy and annoying.

Philip Kingsley itchy flakey scalp shampoo is amazing!

Honestly head and shoulders is so crap and makes it worse if it's at all bad most of the time

Thank you! Lots of ideas to try and I've got plenty of time to find something that works before I go out where other humans can see me 😆
