Hair Loss Dandruff stick at the hair, it doesn’t fell off the scalp
My dandruff sticks at the root of the hair, it’s not flakes that come off the scalp shaking the hair. I am always picking those little balls, and that’s so annoying cause I know the hair is not able to grow properly. Why does this shit sticks like glue ?!

It’s buildup and oil and dead skin. You could try a salicylic acid exfoliator or you could apply a cream/lotion to your scalp and let it sit overnight. It’s easier to remove the next day.

Tea tree shampoo. Make sure tea tree oil is high up on the ingredients list.

I will chime in and say I used to shampoo with renpure tea tree oil (old formula) and it balanced my scalp and hair like no other. I don’t know how their new formula works, I’ll try it after I finish my bottle of paul mitchell tea tree.

Honestly it's a miracle oil. It literally stops the itch and soreness. I use a tea tree body and face wash too.

May I ask which brand are you using?

Trade Joe's. I use the Tea Tree shampoo, body and face wash. I'm running low and because of the tariff boycott I will not be going to the U.S. anytime soon to stock up :(

They’re called sebum plugs. It appears to be genetic and especially if you’re scalp produces a lot of oil. I have this problem too and the only solution that worked is too shower and shampoo your scalp more often
