Reddit mentions of Paul Mitchell Pro Tools Teasing Brush

I used to be a hairstylist and I also have this issue. The reason why anti dandruff shampoo doesn't work is because this isn't true dandruff, it's something else. I think it might be sebhorric dermatitis, but I'm not 100% sure. Basically the scalp grows too fast and isn't shedding properly, leaving you with flakes.

What I'd advise people to do is to get a small brush with somewhat stiff nylon bristles (this one is my favorite and can be found for sale in many salons for cheaper than this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004Z1LD8S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_07AIAbCNNT377) you brush the flakes off the scalp with the comb, but be careful to not brush too hard! Once that's done, I put tea tree conditioner all over my scalp. I use a Paul Mitchell medicated tea tree conditioner. If you buy this, PLEASE buy it from a salon, not the grocery store or online. You'll probably get tampered or expired product if you don't buy from a salon. You can even get this stuff at Great Clips, it's a very popular product. I give my scalp a good massage and leave the conditioner on for 10-30 minutes, then rinse it out. It's not a perfect treatment yet, but it's pretty effective and I'm still experimenting with different products so I can get this figured out.
