Is it better to scratch or rub the scalp when applying shampoo/conditioner?

I am working on my dry scalp and dandruff problems if that makes a difference.Is it better to scratch or rub the scalp when applying shampoo/conditioner?
1] brush hair thoroughly [ brushing seems to loosen up flakes better ]


2] buy a good quality shampoo and conditioner for dandruff or scalp conditions [ Tgel, Tsal , or the CVS equivalent ]


3] wet hair thoroughly


4] apply about 25 to 50 cents sizeamount of shampoo to HANDS, rub together, and scrub into scalp with tips of fingers - not scratching or rubbing. If doesn't make good lather, wash twice. Leave on hair about three minutes


5] rinse, rinse, rinse


6] press out extra water from hair, and apply 25 to 50 cents size of conditioner to hands. Rub together, and scrub into scalp to medicate it. Leave on at least three minutes.


7] rinse, rinse, rinse


8] press out water with hands, and blot in a big towel


9] scrub brush, combs in shampoo and nail brush - rinse well


10] do not use any styling products with alcohol


11] comb out tangles with a wide tooth combIs it better to scratch or rub the scalp when applying shampoo/conditioner?

scratch shampoo. rub conditioner
You need selsun blue shampoo to get rid of it. It works really good. Just washing it a different way isnt going to help.
as a person with psoriasis, DON'T SCRAAATCH. it'll make your dry scalp flake.





definetely rub, but do it gently :)
i dont tink it does but for dandruff dont sratch cuz tat causes more!
Definitely do NOT scratch your scalp, that will only stir up more dandruff. Use your fingertips, not nails to rub in the shampoo.
