Fight Dandruff

Dear Beauty Bay,

I really hope you can help me.
I have had a flaky, itchy scalp for a few years now and nothing on the high street seems to solve the problem - they will either have no effect at all or only work for a bit and then the flakes will come back. It is very noticeable especially when I wear black clothes and is very embarrassing. I just wish I could get rid of this problem permanently!

Thanks Lucy.

Dear Lucy,

It sounds like you are suffering from dandruff. This is a very common problem and affects millions of people globally. Many people find that high street products will alleviate the symptoms temporarily, only for the dandruff to reappear later on, leaving you frustrated and no better off than before. Luckily we have many products that are specifically designed to not only treat the symptoms, but the cause of the dandruff as well, leaving you flake and worry free.
