You probably don’t have dandruff (go to a dermatologist to figure it out). Dandruff is caused my a combination of an oily scalp and a certain type of bacteria that interacts with the oils.
Dry scalp has the same side effects(ie skin flakes) There are a multitude of factors that can contribute: lack of hydration, general dry skin, showering habits, stress, allergies, climate, etc.
I also had a similar issue where oiling my hair didn’t work until I used scalp lotion after showering. The best thing is to oil your hair once or twice a week, then shower with a mild shampoo and use conditioner. Use the scalp lotion right after showering.
Search scalp lotion on Amazon. The brand for the one scalp lotion I use is called LivSo and has been working great for me.
I think the issue I was having was that my scalp was drying out really quick after a shower. I needed a lotion to rehydrate my scalp and not damp it down like hair oil would do.
