When a healthy scalp condition goes awry, white scales and patchy skin can develop and become clearly visible. Causes can be mechanical (brushing, scratching, excessive dryer use), chemical (synthetic shampoos, grooming agents, or hairsprays), or organic (clogged follicles with disruption of cell growth processes, eczema, psoriasis, or abnormal activity of the sebaceous glands). The end result is dandruff and/or a scaly scalp. It can affect both men and women of any age, and can be a problem with both dry and oily scalps.
Most commercial dandruff preparations aim to control the flakes, but Nettles’ formulas aim at correcting the underlying scalp conditions causing the problems in the first place. Essential oils and herbal extracts in the Nettles formulas regulate the secretions of the sebaceous glands, combat inflammation caused by bacteria and fungus, and promote blood flow in the scalp with the end result that both hair and scalp are healthy and you are flake – and itch --- free.
