Dry flaky scalp

2016-07-09 02:58:50
My daughter has a dry flaky scalp and there are deposits at the base of the hair. I noticed this a fortnight back while combing her hair. I have regularly oiled her hair, even stopped her shampoo for a while but it doesn't seem to have made any difference. What should I do?
