The 1 Hair Product That Finally Cured My Flaky-Scalp Situation - For Good

There are not enough Justin Bieber posters in this world to convince me to upload a zoomed-in photo of my scalp — how am I to know just how much grisly content you can stomach? — so I'll leave it at this: I have dandruff. There. I said it.

Unfortunately, no matter which way you swing it, seborrheic dermatitis has never been cute. (Just ask 50% of the population with the condition.) But it is especially not cute when that flaky scalp situation is self-inflicted, which, in my case, it is but an itchy upshot of my mildly unhealthy obsession with dry shampoo. Then Kenra Professional's Platinum Deep Detox Scrub ($28) landed on my desk last month and instilled a little faith in me. Let me explain.

For starters, the clarifying scrub is packed with activated charcoal, the vacuum of all beauty ingredients, that effectively sucks up dirt, oil, and "impurities," which I interpret as the layers (upon layers) of dry shampoo buildup on my scalp. Plus, unlike traditional physical scrubs, the exfoliating particles in this formula are microscopic, so you can barely notice a thing when you're rubbing it onto your head. I'll use it once a week and every time it feels amazing, smells like expensive perfume, and perhaps most miraculously of all, has nearly eradicated my flakes after just a few uses.

Of course, you'd have to pry my beloved Klorane dry shampoo from my hands before I ever gave it up, so you can believe I'm still up to my non-showering shenanigans, but the fact that I'm not seeing nearly as much dandruff by day three (or five) is enough of a win for me. Bieber, come at me.
