Introduction
A lot of people say “I have dandruff” " but dandruff is not one type. In fact there are two very common types:
- Fatty crust (Adhesive peel + fat)
- Dry crust (Scattered small crusts + dryness)
The difference is important because treating one type with treatment of the other type may increase the problem.
In this article we give you an easy way to differentiate them, and then a clear treatment routine for each type.
First: how to tell them apart quickly?
Look at The size of the crusts + the sensation of the undercoat:
Oily dandruff
- Husks Large or medium And often Adhesive
- The scalp Fatty Or oiled up quickly
- Itching may be moderate to strong
- Crusts may increase a day after washing
Dry dandruff
- Husks Small and light Like a " powder”
- The scalp Tight and dry
- Itching is often milder and increases after bathing
- They increase in winter or with hot water
If you have severe redness, very thick scales, or pain, it may be another condition (eczema/psoriasis) that needs medical evaluation.
Why does fatty dandruff occur?
Common causes:

- Not rinsing the shampoo thoroughly
Why does dry dandruff occur?
Common causes:
- Hot water
