Have you ever noticed flakes on your shoulders and wondered, “Is this dry skin… or something else?

”The truth is, not all dandruff is the same — and treating it starts with knowing what type you have.



🧼 Two Main Types of Dandruff


1. Dry Dandruff

  • Fine, white flakes that fall easily from the scalp

  • Common in winter or after shampooing

  • Often comes with itchiness or tight-feeling skin

  • Usually linked to dry skin, over-washing, or harsh shampoos


2. Oily Dandruff

  • Larger, yellowish flakes that stick to the scalp or hair

  • Accompanied by greasy roots, itchiness, or even scalp acne

  • Caused by excess oil, buildup, or imbalance in the scalp’s microbiome


💆‍♀️ How a Japanese Head Spa Can Help

At Not Just Hair, we offer customized Japanese Head Spa treatments that begin with a 15-minute scalp consultation using a microscope.This allows us to assess your scalp condition and recommend the right care — whether your scalp is dry, oily, or somewhere in between.



🟦 For Dry Dandruff

  • Hydration-focused scalp treatment using Milbon professional products

  • Relaxing fascia massage to improve circulation

  • Soothing techniques to calm sensitive or over-reactive skin


🟨 For Oily Dandruff

  • Deep scalp cleansing to remove oil, dead skin, and buildup

  • Balancing care to support healthy sebum production

  • Steam and massage techniques to help refresh and purify



🌿 Why Choose a Head Spa for Scalp Health?

Rather than guessing which shampoo works, a Head Spa provides:

✔ Professional scalp analysis

✔ Customized treatment

✔ Deep relaxation and improved scalp balance


Whether you’re dealing with flakes, itchiness, or just want to reset your scalp, a Japanese Head Spa offers a holistic, soothing solution.
