Flakes from scalp
I recently (90 days ) moved to cold country for work (poland) and my scalp started flaking up when I rub my hair.
The few flakes are rounded and few are of irregular shape.
After I take head bath, it is coming immediately but lesser
And hairline appears white a bit, after applying coconut oil, it's normal.
Additionally hair is getting too oily after 2 days.
I'm using anti danruff shampoo head and shoulders for twice a week.
Water is too hard here.
The powder like flakes are in eyebrows and chest hair as well.
Is it dry skin or something else, worried a lot.
Ready to take consultation, please help.
Scalp in not itchy for now,
Drinking 2 litres of water daily, but first month I took less water.

Very cold weather can cause the scalp to become more dry and this can trigger dandruff. Please take online consultation so that advise on how to manage this including medication and hair care regime can be advised.
