How do you know if you’re prone to flaking, especially in the winter/spring season?
Dry cold air in winter leads to scalp dryness, however scalp dryness does not mean dandruff, but it is known to be very common in people who experience dandruff flakes specially in winter months. Flakes are usually the end-result of dandruff—and presence of the visible flakes makes people aware of dandruff..

Does seasonal dandruff really exist? Why do a lot of people complain of this condition in the colder months?
When we do clinical studies, we cannot evaluate how much you’re itching; it’s just something you see and feel for yourself.

[Dandruff] is very common. It comes and goes—it also doesn’t always stay in the same spot on your head—and it’s not something you can get rid of once and have it never come back.
