10 Dry Scalp Symptoms
Powdery Flakes
While flakes from dandruff stick in the hair, flakes caused by dry scalp often shed quickly. You may even see these flakes when you turn your head or look up quickly. They might look like dust at first, but they're actually flakes from the dry skin on your scalp.
If it's difficult to figure out whether dry scalp or dandruff is the cause of your problems, pay attention to whether the flakes stick or float away. This might be the last piece of the puzzle.
