(A Naturalista’s Guide to a Flake-Free, Healthy Scalp)
Dandruff can be annoying, embarrassing, and downright frustrating — especially when you’ve tried product after product with no real results. If you live in Akure (or anywhere in Ondo State), you already know that the heat, dry air, and water quality can make scalp issues even worse. But here’s the good news:
✨ You don’t need harsh chemicals to fix dandruff. You just need the right natural ingredients.
At Tom Naturals, we’re proud to offer organic, Nigerian-made hair products that not only soothe the scalp but treat dandruff from the root. In this blog post, we’ll break down exactly how to treat dandruff using natural, organic products — no sulfates, no gimmicks, and no stress.
🧠 First, What Is Dandruff — And Why Do You Have It?
Dandruff is a common scalp condition that causes flakes, itching, dryness, and sometimes even redness or scalp inflammation. It may look like just “dry scalp,” but it can be caused by a few different things:
- Fungal overgrowth (Malassezia)
- Dryness due to weather or hard water
- Product buildup from heavy oils or chemicals
- Overwashing or underwashing your scalp
- Reaction to synthetic ingredients or preservatives
Most commercial dandruff treatments use synthetic antifungal ingredients like ketoconazole or zinc pyrithione — which may clear flakes temporarily, but often strip the scalp, cause irritation, and don’t provide real long-term healing.
So what’s the better way?
🌿 Why Organic Products Work Better for Dandruff
Organic products — especially those made with Ayurvedic herbs and plant-based oils — work with your body, not against it. Here’s why they work:
✅ They soothe and rebalance the scalp naturally
✅ They nourish and hydrate without clogging pores
✅ They have antifungal and antibacterial properties (naturally)
✅ They support long-term scalp health
✅ They avoid harmful ingredients like sulfates, parabens, silicones, and petrolatum
At Tom Naturals, every product is designed for Nigerian weather, water conditions, and hair types — so they’re perfect for naturalistas in Akure dealing with chronic dandruff.
✅ Step-by-Step: How to Treat Dandruff with Organic Products in Akure
Ready to banish flakes the natural way? Here’s the 5-step routine we recommend, using all-natural Tom Naturals products:
STEP 1: Deep Cleanse with Our Black Soap Shampoo
🧴 Product: Tom Naturals Black Soap Shampoo
💸 Price: ₦6,000
📍 Use: Once every 2–4 weeks
Our Black Soap Shampoo is a game changer. It deeply cleans the scalp, removes buildup, flakes, and excess oil, and prepares your scalp for healing.
Why it works:
Black soap has natural antibacterial and antifungal properties. Combined with witch hazel, it calms irritated scalps and reduces inflammation.
✨ Tip: Don’t use this more than once a month. Follow with deep conditioning to prevent dryness.
STEP 2: Hydrate and Nourish with Our Deep Conditioner
💧 Product: Tom Naturals Hydrating Deep Conditioner
💸 Price: ₦9,000
📍 Use: Every wash day
Dandruff doesn’t just need treatment — it needs moisture. Our deep conditioner softens, strengthens, and hydrates, helping to heal dry, flaking scalp while restoring hair elasticity.
Hero Ingredients:
- Aloe vera (anti-inflammatory + hydrating)
- Almond oil (nourishing + soothing)
- Ayurvedic herbs (strengthen follicles + treat scalp)
🌿 This step helps prevent dandruff from coming back after cleansing.
STEP 3: Treat and Heal with Ayurvedic Hair Growth Oil
🌿 Product: Tom Naturals Ayurvedic Hair Growth Oil
💸 Price: ₦7,500
📍 Use: 2–3x per week (or as hot oil treatment)
This oil is our #1 treatment for itchy, flaky, irritated scalps. Packed with over 10 Ayurvedic herbs, it treats underlying scalp issues while stimulating growth and restoring moisture balance.
How to use it for dandruff:
- Apply directly to scalp and massage for 5–10 minutes
- Cover with a warm towel or cap
- Rinse (optional) after 1–2 hours or leave in overnight
🔥 Best used as a hot oil treatment weekly for deep penetration.
STEP 4: Maintain Moisture with Our Herbal Mist
🌬️ Product: Tom Naturals Hydrating & Anti-Itch Herbal Mist
💸 Price: ₦5,500
📍 Use: Daily or as needed
Flakes can return when your scalp gets dry. Our Herbal Mist is the perfect daily refresh spray to keep your scalp hydrated and itch-free — especially when your hair is in braids, wigs, or protective styles.
Why it works:
It’s water-based, lightweight, and infused with soothing herbs that calm irritation without weighing hair down.
STEP 5: Protect with Nourishing Leave-in Conditioner
💁🏾♀️ Product: Tom Naturals Nourishing Leave-in Conditioner
💸 Price: ₦7,000
📍 Use: After wash days or before styling
This step locks in moisture and keeps your strands protected. Dandruff isn’t just about the scalp — brittle, dry strands can cause irritation and flaking too.
Our leave-in conditioner strengthens and softens your hair using:
- Shea butter
- Glycerin
- Aloe vera
- Ayurvedic botanicals
🌟 Safe for kids, beards, and all hair types!
🚫 What to Avoid If You Have Dandruff
If you’re serious about getting rid of dandruff — naturally — you need to avoid these ingredients and habits:
🚫 Sulfate-based shampoos (dry out the scalp)
🚫 Mineral oil or petroleum-based products (clog pores)
🚫 Using too many heavy oils at once
🚫 Washing too often or not often enough
🚫 Skipping deep conditioning after shampoo
🚫 Ignoring protective styles (braids, twists) that tug at the scalp
