IS WAVY HAIR MORE PRONE TO DANDRUFF?
They say that wavy hair is the best of both worlds, but does that hold true for dandruff?
Sitting happily between straight and curly, wavy hair is versatile and can be styled in many different ways... But that doesn’t mean that you don’t need to be wary of problems.
Your scalp produces a natural oil called sebum, which works to moisturize both your hair and scalp.
If your hair is wavy, sebum may take longer to travel down the strands, so it may take longer to look “dirty” than in people with straight hair. This means many people with wavy hair can opt for styles that can be worn for multiple days without washing.
Unfortunately, this can mean that oils build up on your scalp. Which is where dandruff comes in.
