As a family doctor, I see patients every week who are frustrated by persistent dandruff. They've tried every shampoo on the shelf and still with no results. One thing I often ask is, “Have you ever exfoliated your scalp?” Most people haven't—and that's where a scalp scrubber can make a real difference. While medicated shampoos are essential, they're often not enough if dead skin, product buildup, and oil are left sitting on the scalp.

Personally, I started using a silicone scalp scrubber a couple of years ago after dealing with my own bout of dandruff. I was already using a ketoconazole shampoo, which helped, but I noticed a huge difference once I started gently massaging it in with a scrubber. It really helped my dandruff. It’s a simple step that turns washing your hair into something therapeutic—and effective.

For anyone struggling with dandruff, especially if you’ve got thick hair or use styling products, I highly recommend adding a scalp scrubber to your routine. Think of it like exfoliating your face—removing buildup allows treatment shampoos to penetrate better and reduces the environment where yeast and oil accumulate. It doesn’t have to be harsh—gentle circular motions a few times a week can go a long way in keeping your scalp healthy and flake-free.

Cheers!
