7 Causes of Flakes on the Scalp

(and how to get rid of them)

Flakes on the scalp can be really annoying. They not only cause itching or a tight feeling, but also discomfort or insecurity when they are visible on your clothes. Many people immediately think of dandruff when they see flakes, but the cause can be very different, and so can the solution.

If you really want to get rid of flakes, it is important to first understand where they come from. Below you will read seven common causes and what you can do about them.

1. A dry scalp

Just like your skin, your scalp can dry out, especially in winter or because of harsh shampoos. This causes small, dry flakes and sometimes a tight feeling.

2. An oily scalp with dandruff

With dandruff, the scalp is often actually oilier. An overgrowth of the yeast Malassezia develops, which causes slightly yellowish flakes that stick to your scalp.

3. Build-up of styling products

Gel, dry shampoo or oil that is not rinsed out properly can build up on the scalp and lead to flakes or itching.

4. Excess sebum production

An oily scalp that is out of balance can flake more easily. You often see this with hormonal changes, such as during puberty or after stopping the pill.

5. Sensitive or allergic reaction

Some people react to fragrance, preservatives or certain ingredients in hair care. The skin becomes irritated and flakes as a reaction.

6. Eczema or psoriasis

With these skin conditions, the flakes can be thicker and whiter or more silvery. Often there is also redness or even small sores.

7. Poor blood circulation in the scalp

Slow blood circulation means nutrients and oxygen reach your hair follicles less well. This can lead to dryness, flakes and slower hair growth.
