Ever caught yourself scratching your head and wondering if those pesky flakes are from dandruff or just a dry scalp? Don’t worry—you’re not alone. While these two conditions share similar symptoms (flakes and itchiness, anyone?), they have different causes and require unique treatments. We sat down with our resident expert Este Tchung (Global Product Manager @ STRAAND), to find out how to give your crown the care it deserves.
So tell us Este, what is dandruff?
“Dandruff is like the uninvited guest at a party—it overstays its welcome and makes its presence known. It’s caused by an overgrowth of Malassezia globosa, a naturally occurring fungus that thrives on scalp oils (sebum). As Malassezia proliferates, it leaves behind an irritating type of unsaturated fatty acid. To protect us, our body tries to shed off the affected areas but the result instead is an imbalanced scalp microbiome and overactive skin cell production which end ups forming large and yellowish clusters of flakes”
And what about dry scalp?
“Well a dry scalp happens when your skin simply can’t produce or retain enough moisture. This can leave your scalp feeling tight, dry, and uncomfortable, with smaller, whiter flakes making an unwelcome appearance. Think of it as your scalp crying out for hydration—dull, frizzy hair and an itchy, parched scalp are common side effects. It can be brought on from temperature changes, excess heat styling, sunburn, or sometimes from using products that contain sulphates, parabens or excess silicones.”
So how can we tell the difference?
“While both conditions involve flakes, the key differences lie in their appearance and feel:
-
Dandruff: Larger, oilier, yellow-tinged flakes that often come with a greasy scalp.
-
Dry Scalp: Smaller, whiter flakes, accompanied by a tight, itchy feeling.
If your scalp feels tight and your hair looks dull, you’re likely dealing with dryness. If it’s more oily and flaky, dandruff might be the culprit. No matter the cause, ignoring scalp health is never the answer. Treating dandruff or a dry scalp isn’t just about appearance—it’s about creating a healthy foundation for stronger, longer, and shinier hair.”
So if we think we’ve identified that we have Dandruff, what is the best treatment?
“Well thankfully it’s quite easy to treat at home. Start with a clarifying treatment like STRAAND’s Crown Cleanse Shampoo. Packed with Defenscalp™, it’s designed to combat flakes and soothe irritation. Depending on the severity of your dandruff you may experience relief from the very first wash! But most people need to persevere with their new routine. Generally, it takes up to 3 months to be able to rebalance the microbiome and stop the overproduction of Malassezia.”
Really? That long?
“Yeah Sometimes. Be sure to use the Shampoo with the Crown Boost Conditioner to replenish moisture to your hair while not further irritating your scalp. If you do want to see faster results, incorporate a physical exfoliant like the Miracle Worker Exfoliating Scalp Salt Scrub weekly. It’s full of natural oils and ingredients like salt that help to lift stubborn buildup and allow your scalp to reset.”
Okay, And what about for people with just a Dry Scalp? What do you recommend?
“Same thing really! A dry scalp simply needs hydration—stat! A gentle cleansing routine with the Crown Cleanse Shampoo can nourish without stripping essential oils, while the Crown Boost Conditioner delivers that moisture that your scalp craves. For an instant and fast hydration boost, try the Halo Mask (Halo Hydrator Calming Hydration Scalp Mask), which deeply soothes and restores balance fast. I use mine as an overnight treatment as I do suffer from dry scalp sometimes when being under the air conditioner, or using the hair dryer a little too often!”
Thanks so much Este.
Well, there you have it! Whether you’re battling dandruff or dealing with a dry scalp, the secret to success lies in consistency! Be kind to your scalp, listen to its needs, and opt for STRAAND’s expertly formulated range to help you ditch the itch, the flakes, and the drama—leaving you with a happy, healthy scalp.

I have had my fair share of emotional traumas and failed relationships. There is nothing more to life than staying hopeful even when we expect the worse. I was lucky once more when i met my fiancé and he was all that i ever wanted in a man. I was always treated right by him and i had always believed we are ending up together. Unknown to me that devil had struck even before my wishes came through. He was taken from me by another bitch and it was hell for me knowing he had left me. I was so sure that he didn’t do so with his clear mind because everything seems award when it occurred. So i had to look for help and I found Abdul Basser who revealed to me that my man was hypnotized with charms by the said lady. He worked for me and got my man back to me and now we are back again. I cant be thankful enough knowing everything Abdul Basser promised was fulfilled and knowing the result of his works manifests after 48 hours.

Good day everyone, some statements people make may appear unbelievable, yet they reflect their truth due to their personal experiences. I’m a truck driver and I enjoy playing the lottery, but it’s been 10 years without winning anything significant. I became upset over this and chose to seek help online from anyone skilled in using spells to win the lottery since my grandma had faith in spells and a story about Abdul Basser spells drew my interest. I obtained his contact information, and we discussed all aspects of how he could assist me. In less than 24 hours, Abdul Basser provided me with the lottery numbers I required after he completed the spell for me. I purchased my ticket online, followed the guidance of Abdul Basser, and now my life is fortunate because I won a $82.5 million Jackpot in the lottery I participated in. I’m thankful to Abdul Basser because he truly keeps his promises and I will donate $2.5 million to the orphanage homes in my town.

Good day viewers, I wish to share my testimony with all of you. I have daily 9 to 5 jobs, but while I work, I try my luck at playing instant Lotto. On this particular day I decided to seek help online regarding tips for winning the lottery and I saw many individuals testifying about Priest Meduza spells. I reached out to him and informed him that I needed help to win the lottery, and he clarified the process to me stating that after he casts the spell, it will take 48 hours for him to provide me the winning numbers which I accepted. I followed all his instructions and he provided me with the numbers to enter the Lottery. After the draw the following morning I received a notification on the Lottery app on my phone indicating that I was the lucky winner of $273 million on the New Jersey Lottery. I’m here to extend my heartfelt gratitude and praise to Priest Meduza. If you seek help in your life, Whats_App +18077983042 or Email: lordmeduzatemple@hotmail.com or visit: lordmeduzatemple.com
