My scalp can be pretty hostile. I’m dandruff-prone. It’s itchy. I occasionally get seborrheic dermatitis (a fancy way of saying scaly patches). Now, rather than buy an unsexy drugstore shampoo with salicylic acid, I’ve historically treated it, well, pretty crappy. I throw in dry shampoo—and lots of it—use about five different products per wash to create lift and volume, and have long neglected giving it a good, deep clean.
