Im so sad nigga ughhhhh.

I have a lot, i mean a lot of dry dandruff and very very rarely i mean rarely i have oily dandruff. My hair is wavy-curly and its super dry. It gets very dry very fast.
In school yesterday i got called out for my dandruff, it was so unpleasant that moment :sick:😕.

I already tried:
https://looksmax.org/threads/guide-egg-yolk-hair-washing-why-i-stopped-using-shampoo.1927926/
i.e i tried egg yolk on my hair for 1 day and didnt work (my scalp was still itchy and my hair smelled like eggs)

I have a sulfate, paraben, silicone etc. you name it, free shampoo with an oil called "tea tree oil" which is good for moisturizing

Problem with all the shampoos: all the anti dandruff shampoos destroy my hair, they make it look frizy and weak, but still i have that dandruff problem which is obviously i want it to go im begging for help

images show fungal dandruff vs dry scalp

judging from everything i'm seeing, i'm 80% confident it's just a dry scalp BUT i wouldn't rule out the possibility of fungal problem either. i can't identify which exact issue you have for sure but i do have some advice

A few general rules i'm sure you already know but i'll note them down anyways:
1) you have to use shampoo. the whole "no shampoo" thing is a sham. i would know because i've tried it for 8 months before quitting and it only brought me misery. only people with the best hair genetics can...
ive got the exact same problem as you lmk if you find a solution

not even leave in conditioners helped

Your dandruff is probably fungal
Ketoconazole shampoos afaik are the only ones that actually work.

i used to have loads but what helped me with it was washing like once every 10-14 days in summer break while i wasnt in school, i still have it now but i rarely get itchy and its not noticeable at all, plus i grew my hair out which probably helped it not being noticeable. I wash my hair once every 4 days now.

It takes a while for your hair to get used to egg yolks, It must reduce excessive oil production first which might take a few times, also make sure to wash it off well with cold/luke warm water

use coconut oil. apply 30 min before hairwash and wash it out 2 times with high quality shampoo then use a aloe vera hair mask on damp hair worked for me:feelshah:

if it's fungal use a dandruff shampoo, if it's dry skin use GHK, if it's bc you can't wash the shampoo/conditioner out your hair, do that

I quit using absolutely all hair products 1.5 years ago and it made my dandruff disappear. Might not work for everybody.

You probably have a skin issue, go to a doctor about it. Also try putting coconut oil on it for a day to keep it moist and see how it reacts

That doesn't look like seborrheic dermatitis to me. If nothing you previously did worked your only bet is a dermatologist.
are they any good or dont they just want to you sell you there new medical grade shampoo?

I don't think they will sell you a specific shampoo because you seem to have a flaky scalp issue more than any fungal or yeast-related problems. They'll likely put you on some treatment for moisture.

yes so i probably dont have a fungus, just a very dry scalp?

why do i sometimes get oily dandruff if its mostly dry?

If there is an African hair shop near to you, go there and ask them. They usually know and have good products in store.
