Our new dark Jil Sander suit has met its nemesis. No, it’s not static. Or even sweat stains. Much worse: Dandruff.
Giving fashion-conscious Bostonians the hair-pulling task of figuring out what to wear each morning since time began, the weather here shouldn’t surprise us anymore. And yet, it does every time we look over our shoulder when wearing a dark top and and find our own personal snowstorm has fallen. Plus, the accompanying itch can be quite a you-know-what.

Recommends Michael Albor of The Loft Salon, “Treat your dandruff problem just like you would dry skin on your body—use an astringent, then exfoliate, and then moisturize.”
To soothe your scalp and combat those pesky white flakes, we tracked down three products dry-headed gals and guys should try. If anything, your new suit (or LBD) will thank you. (more…)
