Don't Forget To Live Your Extra Life.
Hi beautiful today we're talking about some really fun stuff, which is all kinds of scalp issues. Scalp care has been very trendy right now. Every hair care brand is coming out with scalp stuff and things to hydrate your scalps things to exfoliate your scalps and everything in between. If you have any scalp issues today is your day we're going through them all we're breaking them down and by we i mean dr mike, and i i don't want to give you guys medical advice on something i don't know about. So i invited dr mike over to better explain these things and just uncover some truths and some lies about each topic. We'Re gon na go over some naturopathic naturopathic things. What am i saying? Naturopathic treatments, guys that's what it is and some things you can buy in the store to help treat your scalp issues, i'm gon na grab, dr mike. Let'S do it hey beautiful. I mean dr mike welcome to the channel today, we'll be talking about a dandruff, dry scalp and psoriasis you're gon na help. The common peoples understand these three things and we're gon na decipher. What is the differences between them all and how do you treat them? Yeah? There'S so much overlap, there's so much confusion, i'm suffering with some dry scalp dandruff myself. So we are the common people all right. Let'S do it we're going to start with going over the differences between dry, scalp, dandruff and psoriasis. What'S interesting of all three of them, the symptoms are quite similar. I'M gon na see flaking, although they're gon na be different size flakes for different conditions, itchiness redness of the scalp, so it's really important to distinguish which one of these three conditions. It is because the treatments are somewhat different when it comes to dry scalp, we're simply talking about dryness of that skin layer. That'S it there's nothing else going on okay, when we're talking about dandruff we're actually talking about a medical condition called cyboriatic dermatitis. I know so. Boreatic dermatitis: that's good! Look at that! I'M about to give an honorary doctorate degree right now. We only have theories as to why dandruff happens right either too much oil production by your scalp, because there are hair, follicles and there's oil glands that naturally occur there. But if you have too much, it can become a problem, there's a lot of turnover, so you're flaking, another thing that could happen, there's actually fungi that live on our scalps and our skin. That'S normal, the fungi, the fungi have to be there, i'm a fun guy and these fungi, the specific one, is malassezia furfer, and these fungi actually live naturally, and it's fine, but when we have an overgrowth of them, they actually release this compound. This acid, that creates irritation of the scalp and what's interesting, it actually ties into that oil thing that we talked about earlier, because if you have a lot of oil that fungi actually eat that oil and that's why they create that product. So perhaps both are true and then the final one is, you said: psoriasis. Yes, that's an autoimmune condition where your own body is actually creating inflammation and you get plaques. You get the same flaking, but with a lot of redness and the thing to keep in mind with psoriasis. Is it's not limited to the scalp? If it's happening it potentially can be happening in other areas of your body and internally as well? It'S possible that this high, inflammatory state can be going on in your blood vessels in your joints. You have to monitor it basically and you have to have a doctor on board for that. I brought some goodies. Oh first, we have an oldie, but i guess a goodie yeah head and shoulders clinically proven to help restore scalp's natural moisture infused with almond oil pyrothione. That was good. It has two functions one. It has some anti-fungal activity for that melazaza that yeast, but it also helps with the decreasing of flaking. It makes sense why this specific product has been so successful over the years and this one you could use more often than with some of the other treatments that when we talk about dandruff or psoriasis, you don't want to be using them too often too many times. A week, whereas this you could use as your sort of daily or every other day shampoo, this would be like really targeted towards dandruff, but also help with some dry scalp as well, especially like this one has an oil in it. I think, when you're using any kind of these natural oils, whether it's almond oil, coconut oil, tea tree oil, it's really important to know that it works well for dry scalp and some cases of dandruff. You have dandruff caused by too much oil production and then you're. Putting more oil that can make the problem worse, so my recommendation to my patients is, if they have moderate, to severe dandruff is to not use any kind of oil get it checked out. First, just because your scalp looks dry, it doesn't mean you have the lack of oil, the eggs on your scalp. It'S so counter-intuitive yeah like how the body works in blue, selenium sulfide. One percent helps prevent and eliminate itchy scalp and visible flakes works well for dandruff, specifically because you have anti-fungal activity, antibacterial activity as well as that decreasing of skin turnover for a sales and blue product. If we read the instructions, i'm almost positive, that it'll say to not use it daily for best results, use at least twice a week or as directed by a doctor you're the doctor that one can be a little bit more harsh. And if you overuse these products, you could actually create another problem. So, like you, don't want to be overusing these specific ones. Oh, the fancy one. Is it fancy they just can't. Do it because wait until i tell you the ingredient you're going to be like there's. No way, that's angry: it controls redness, intense itching and flaking of severe scalp conditions, dandruff psoriasis seborrheic dermatitis, which cyborg dermatitis is very similar to dandruff, if not the same thing ready for the main ingredient. Yes, coal, tar, and what is that right? You would think like coal tar do. I want that on my scalp actual coal, it's actual coleslaw mixed with tar. Well, i don't know like how they mix it chemically speaking, but this is a product that i wouldn't use for just simple, dry scalp. This is something that i would use for psoriasis or cyboriatic dermatitis. Also, you don't want to use this daily, but again similar mechanism of action, some anti-fungal activity, some um cytostatic activity, which means again decreased cell turnover. Do you like using fancy terms because it makes sense? Yeah and you went to medical school, so you have to use fancy three i use. I like. I learned that i spent time learning so i'm like i'm just gon na. I find it interesting that all the ones we just went over have different active ingredients yeah. I didn't know there was different levels to it. Well, just like, when you go, look for a pain, reliever, let's say an over-the-counter pain reliever. You have so many options. You have ibuprofen naproxen they're different, but in reality they all accomplish the same goal. So this is doing the same thing. Some of them are better for other purposes like the head and shoulders is the daily one. The sell some blue is the one you have to use twice a week for dandruff. This is really like. The go-to for psoriasis treatment. Does a good job for mild psoriasis cases, because, unfortunately, we have no cure for psoriasis or dandruff. We only have treatments so symptom control. I have no idea what this is ever clean. This is salicylic acid. It says anti-dandruff shampoo, for relief of itching and scalp flaking associated with dandruff psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis, and the main ingredient is salicylic acid. Like i just said, 1.8, i've battled with acne when i was growing up and i would use some of those um. You know the pads that you could use, i forgot they were called. Yes, one of their main ingredients was salicylic acid as well, because it basically breaks down that superficial layer of skin. The medical term is corrado. Lytic corrado is the skin layer. Lytic means it's breaking through when you have psoriasis and you have a build up of these dead skin cells. This can help break through. In fact, when dermatologists like make their own products - and they compound different formulas - they put this plus some of the other ingredients in the other ones. Yeah salicylic acid is actually found in a bark of a tree and some leaves so technically i mean i don't know how they made this specific product, but if you're extracting it, you can get salicylic acid. Naturally, i love a good natural treatment. A lot of folks will look at a label and sometimes get worried because there's long names and a lot of those are like perfectly safe and we should not be scared of all chemicals, because chemical carries like a bad connotation or like even toxin. That, like people like, oh it's, a toxin, if we're being honest like water, can be a toxin right, so it's the dose that makes the toxin. We are moving on to naturopathic treatments, really important for everyone at home. To know natural does not always equate to safe. First up we have tea tree oil, which is a common treatment. Atrial has really good evidence for it like decent evidence for mild daily yeah wow. It is uh antifungal. I was always like an irritant, though salicylic acid is an irritant, but it also helps shed off that you know layer of skin, that's unhealthy, so it helps remove. Some of that flakes allows the healthy scalp to come up so tea tree oil has some of the same benefits and it's the one that actually has some clinical research behind it. It also helps with itchiness like because the last thing you want to do when you have any of these conditions is scratch, because you could actually do more damage and then it takes longer for it to heal and tea tree oil can help relieve some of that. Itchiness up next, we have something that i've talked about a lot on my channel, which is coconut oil. Okay, i hate people, put coconut oil into everything and people that love. It refuse to believe that it's not good for you. What do you think about it? Yeah? So coconut oil is a great moisturizer out of the three conditions we have. Coconut oil can potentially work and it can help moisturize. However, for the dandruff, where we said too much oil production, you throw coconut oil in there. Now you could be making your condition worse. It really depends on what's going on and what your diagnosis is in general. Have the claims surrounding coconut oil been overblown yeah? I would say so. I also heard that it kind of puts a film on your skin and doesn't allow more moisture to come in. Is that true for some people, yes um, it really depends on the natural state of your skin. If your skin senses that it's already well hydrated, it could potentially shut down some of its moisture producing properties. If you try and overdo something your body will just decrease the amount that it produces, so you can't really trick your body into over performing moving on to aloe vera, one of my favorites, not only for scalp health. I also love it for sunburn that, along with tea tree, oil probably has the best evidence behind working for dandruff, because it is moisturizing, it is having antioxidant properties, anti-inflammatory properties, it's a good choice for a lot of people, so this is like where natural product shines Apple cider, vinegar, this is my arch nemesis. Oh no, this is my art sounds because my patients think that apple cider vinegar treats everything. It'S not a miracle thing like i want it to be, but, like i didn't, go to medical school for 10 years and just prescribe apple cider, vinegar to everybody like i wish it was that simple, there's very little proof. In fact, a lot of people like to tote apple, cider, vinegar as being anti-inflammatory, there's no evidence for that. It'S unbelievable that people can just it's marshall, it's marketing, yeah, and it becomes a big thing. Well, look like, i say, sometimes complicated words like cytostatic right. If you start throwing in those words along with apple cider, vinegar people can be like. I don't really understand it, but this person sounds smart they're using complex language and people unfortunately get tricked by these marketers. That'S actually why i even wanted to start. My youtube channel was because i wanted to educate people so that they don't get tricked into false theories like this, and it doesn't mean apple, cider, vinegar is evil or bad. It just means that the claims that come with it that people say that cures all these things. It'S just not realistic. Okay, so i wrote down a treatment plan that i thought of before you came today that i would do if i had one of these issues. The first thing would be a healthy diet. Everything starts with a healthy diet. Yeah and a healthy diet means something different for everybody. There'S no one magical solution that works well for everyone. I wrote down veganism in particular. Are you vegan? Yes, i don't know how much it's helped, because i've done a lot of other things. Also before you were vegan. What kind of diet were you following? It was a lot of alcohol, a lot of partying, which also i'm sure it contributed to this skin issues. Then i would go home and like eat a bag of chips and chocolate and like ice cream and chicken, and so it was just oh that would not contribute to a healthy scalp. What you switch from is just as important as what you switched to. Let'S say you were eating a healthy plant-based diet like a mediterranean-style diet, where you had some chicken or some fish and then you switched to veganism. Would you have seen all those positive effects? That'S true, but switching from the lifestyle you were going there because veganism really is a lifestyle. It'S not just the types of foods you eat. So the fact that you changed up your lifestyle completely. That makes veganism really powerful and for some people that works really well and i never forced it upon patients, because it's very specific lifestyle in general trying to increase the amount of fruits and vegetables plants in your diet is really important because we're under eating those yeah From a fiber standpoint from a vitamin standpoint that will all help to scalp, you feel better in general um, whether or not you have to eliminate certain foods, that's really individual dependent. So my next thing is easy: i think drink water. I think that's compatible with life. No, because if you're truly dehydrated, that alone can cause dry skill, your body will literally take the hydration from areas that are not vital to your life. Your circulation is very vital. If you don't have enough blood flow and blood is made up of a lot of water, you will lose your blood pressure. You will not get vital circulation to your brain, your kidneys, your liver, emma, never drinks, water. Well, emma you got to drink water. I literally do not drink water because your body is made up of pretty much water and you need it for your scalp and your health. You wonder why your scalp is dry. Sometimes it's looking pretty good lately. What are you doing water? It was just really dry that one time it really was, like my scalp, never dry. Well, you know what another thing that causes dry scalp sometimes - and this may or may not be. What happened to you is something known as contact dermatitis where you use a product, a cream. You wore a hat or something that had a reaction to your skin, just like how it would happen on your regular skin, but it happens on your scalp and it can cause that flaking dryness. But as soon as you remove that product it goes away. That'S why i think uh one of your recommendations that i've heard you say in the past is to not use scented products and scented products can cause that contact dermatitis uh then i have unscented shampoo that is well balanced and does not provide too much moisture, but Just enough, because too much moisture can throw off the balance of your skin is what i wrote before he came here today. Okay, we talked about that right because, like you over supplement your body, your body, a bit all right, we're good, so we won't do our own thing. Um yeah completely, i'm impressed with myself, i said: use a boar bristle brush to distribute oils and exfoliate scalp. Is that going to be too harsh or is that okay? So you just need to be gentle when you do do it, because some exfoliation is okay and in fact, when you brush your scalp you're, actually increasing circulation to the air you're, removing the dead skin cells. But if you do it too much or too rough, you can actually cause damage or make the problem worse, but the board bristle brush is good for distributing those oils, because imagine if you have excess oil in the scalp and you distribute it evenly throughout your hair. Now you're getting nice looking hair and you're, removing it off your scalp so that fungi can't get to it do not pick at your scalp, which is pretty self-explanatory, self-explanatory. But people do it a lot yeah and you can't blame them like they feel something there or they want to get it off. But the more you pick the more it's going to get worse. It'S really like it's almost like chicken pox, it's addicting, the more you scratch the more it grows. Lastly, have patience healing takes time? Did you put that in because i treat patients? Yes, okay, yeah absolutely healing takes time like even over-the-counter treatments they take weeks to work. So people think, like i use this product and it didn't go away. It will never go away off a single time, so like dry scalp is probably one that will go away quickest if it was caused by a product that you got rid of and now is healing or if you just needed some moisturizing and you solved that problem. It can go away as well, but dandruff psoriasis, those are the ones are going to take some time to treat so yeah absolutely be patient. I love that so like, even if your diet, change or your water intake doesn't affect your scalp the next day, it could happen months down the line. What do you think about that treatment plan of mine? I think it's amazing. I think you're, focusing on the right things, the things that are within your control a lot of times when we're sick, whether it's with your scalp or anything in our bodies. We lose control so taking back control and using the things that we have at our everyday disposal is awesome. Would you like to add anything if it's moderate to severe get a doctor's opinion on what you should go with? That'S just because we have to say that. Well, no, i don't want a patient going through a month's worth of treatment when they have truly severe psoriasis and also with psoriasis. You want to make sure they're health in general as well, so unless it's mild to moderate that you can safely usually do at home, but anything to moderate to severe. You want to start getting an expert's opinion on what grade. Would you give that? Oh hey! That'S perfect, yeah! That'S about that past medical school, yeah, absolutely naturopathic, medical, oh okay, perfect! So, dr mike, thank you so much for coming on here and helping people that are suffering from dry, scalp, psoriasis and dandruff yeah, the most common one they're, not life, threatening they're, not pleasant and they're annoying, but they're dealable and you can uh have some options at Your disposal, because look at that list, brad just gave you and if you guys want to subscribe to dr mike, of course, it's right down below he's very entertaining, and he talks about a lot of issues on his channel medical issues.

Doctor Mike: Brad Mondo sir, you’re the man & hair wizard...end of story
Julie Westron: 2:40 Fungi eat that oil on scalp 4:10 Dandruff caused by oil, oil could make problem worse. 4:24 Selenium - Selson blue works well for dandruff specifically, anti fungal anti bacteria activity. Use twice week at most bcs could harm scalp. 5:01 Coal tar - redness itching severe scalp conditions, saboric dermatitis (same as dandruff). Not for simple dry scalp. Use for psoriasis suboria, dermatitis. Don’t use daily. Some anti fungal activity, some sido static activity (decrease cell turn over). 7:53 Tea tree oil. Anti fungal. Lift up layer of skin. Helps with itchiness 8:29 coconut oil. Good moisturizer. Not good for dandruff due to oil. 9:28 Aloe Vera, moisturizing, works for dandruff antioxidants, anti inflammatory 9:50 ACV - just bcs “no evidence” doesn’t mean not true. “no evidence” just means we didn’t study it, or we refuse to acknowledge health benefits people have experienced with a product bcs we didn’t study it. Furthermore we’re most likely not going to study it bcs it doesn’t make certain kinds (which we won’t mention) of people money. 10:51 yesss!! Healthy diet.
Ri: The fact a lot of us are suffering with it really makes me feel a bit happier about it
Allie Oop: I really, really, really appreciate these kinds of collaborations! Bridging the gap between science (specifically health care, in this case) and the beauty community is very important. And I feel like two educated professionals, such as yourselves, collaborating to talk about topics like these is incredibly helpful. I really love the YouTube channel The Eco Well for this reason, because they do panel discussions between experts in different fields of the beauty and science community.
Amanda Bolgiano: “Do not pick at your scalp.” *as I’m scratching*
Ana Matei: the collab i needed. periodt.
Redhead 1092: 8 months later and I'm back to say thanks to Dr. Mike and Brad for doing this video! I have had scalp issues for years and had tried everything and nothing ever worked, as soon as I saw this I got on Amazon and bought some T-gel shampoo. I'm so happy with the change using this shampoo has made with my hair! Still have a few flakes however, the redness, itching and irritation has pretty much completely disappeared and my hair is so much healthier now. I sincerely thank you guys!
Heather Foster: Love watching you… I’ve been a hairdresser for 38 years. I praise you for this video because it’s very important and most people don’t understand and use poor products compounding their problems. Thank you, Heather
Let's Talk About It: I've had dandruff my whole life, I've tried countless types of treatments and nothing has worked, some helped for a while than it just got back to how it was. The only thing I've notice makes any dramatic difference is stress, because it makes a lot worse... when I was a kid I used to scratch it in my sleep and it would bleed, it sucks!!
Johnny Joestar: The way Dr Mike can talk about a topic he is passionate about all day reminds me of myself when someone asks 1 question about cats
Amanda F: So glad Dr Mike was talking about how 'chemical' and 'toxin' aren't bad words. It annoys me as someone who studied chemistry that many things try to claim to be 'chemical free', which just isn't physically possible, and "it's the dose that makes the toxin" is literally something I've said to people in the past!
Kyle Pavlin: Love to see a follow-up about bleach, and hair color for scalp health. Even when I bleach professionally I get flakes from chemical irritation weeks after. Prevention advice would be great.
Dani Valenz: This is skin care in the highest level. Thank you Brad Mondo and Dr. Mike!
Slaikum: Thanks for the tips. Ive had what i believe is psoriasis on and off for about 15 years. The hardest thing is to avoid picking at the flakes especially if Im alone.
Fla Fla: Thank you Brad for bringing a professional to talk about this.
Ruusu Ensio: ”The last thing you wanna do when you have itchy scalp is scratch.” *Me slowly moving my hand down from my scalp*
Ashley Walters: I want to say thank you so much to Brad and Dr. Mike for doing this video on dandruff and itchy scalp because I've had it for like 5 years and nothing I've used has made it go away and I've never experienced that when I was younger all I would have to do is buy some PERT and my scalp was back to normal but now being 35 for some reason it doesn't want to go away so I'm so happy I'm so glad Thank You so much for doing this video it is appreciated! Yes, I get Temporary relief but it always comes back.
Dali Segar: Thank you, GRACIAS! My scalp is finally not itchy, not dry, I can use shampoo and product on it. I love your content and you for just being you.
Kameleron: I looooove when beauty related claims are backed up by ACTUAL education and research, thank youuuuuu!!!!
Mary: Damn, I love this, Educational, somewhat sweet and plenty of decent advice, I really like how the conversation flowed between these two, I can finally start treating my condition. Every time I see Dr. Mike I make sure I've been having regular checkups with my own doctor!
Megan Plante: So much respect for him admitting that he doesn’t want to give false info and bringing an expert on❤️ the best ❤️
Zavellart: I can definitely attest to coconut oil making things worse. I had dandruff last year and threw the kitchen sink at it. I left coconut oil on my hair overnight and was overusing it in general, and then i had a month of skin misery on my scalp and even parts of my face.
FutureCorpse: As someone who has psoriasis Dr Mike explained it perfectly
Rosanna dots: To be very honest, you helped me so much with this!! I had so many weird health problems, starting with seborrheic dermatitis. I tied it all together with crohns disease, so I went to the doc. Turns out I have Crohns! Not happy with it, but relieved I can do something about it! Thank you so much Brad, you helped me tons!! ❤️❤️
teminus1: I just wanna say THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! My head has been flaky, dry, and itchy for a solid month on and off and so I switched over to head and shoulders, more specifically royal oils, and my head has been so much better! I have ezema, and pretty dry skin over all, and I think the shampoo I was trying out was irritating and drying out my scalp but it never occurred to me that the root of my problems would be my shampoo! It's been a few days and I feel way better and my hair is no longer filled with dandruff!
rosettasilvermist: I swear Brad is the only person in the world who ever calls me beautiful. He's like a daily confidence boost
Renee Martel: I have scalp psoriasis! Dying my hair helps so much with the psoriasis build up!!
Fatel Felony: the way they keep eye contact is so nice and how at the same time they are still connecting to the audience but taking acknowledgement of the other person
Shanik Pakeer: So grateful for this video. For the longest time I couldn't differentiate if I had dry scalp or dandruff, though I've been told by a doctor that I actually have dry scalp. This video really helped shed some light.
D M: Basic scalp care has made my life so much better. I used to not brush my hair properly because I thought it made my hair “too frizzy” and now that I do that as well as follow basic scalp care steps I have never had such relief from itching. My hair is much nicer quality as well and any frizz is much easier to manage.
Rebeca Rosa: dr mike: natural does not always equate to safe hyram: pREACH
Nic.Capone.84: Thank you for this video! I've been watching the others for mainly entertainment purposes, but this one actually helped me with real issues.
ConservativeBarbieDoll: Mom tip: you can use Head and Shoulders or my favorite Nizoral on your face to help combat acne, especially maskne! The same fungus Dr. Mike mentions can be responsible for a type of acne called fungal acne and the actives in dandruff shampoos are used to keep it at bay. It can be drying so you should start slow and use a good moisturizer and of course sunscreen
Victoria Lopez: Tea tree is what we use for my son since I don't feel comfortable with him using regular dandruff shampoo at 11 years old. It's worked really well.
Kyrae Jenkins: I am SO guilty of picking at my scalp. I have dermatillomania so I spend several hours a day feeling my scalp for flakes, dry skin, pimples, etc... and as much as I try to avoid doing it, the second I am bored or zoning out or just sitting around, my hand is on my head or face 24/7.
Hailey -Senpai: you made my notifications race, you posted both at the same time, love it
Carly Beam: I love Dr Mike "I'm suffering from a little bit of dry scalp, so we are the common people"
S. Stinnett: I LOVE you both SO much….and so happy to see you two collaborating!
Luc The Nerd: It's great that Dr. Mike said honestly that there's no cure for dandruff and psoriasis, but there's only treatments for the symptoms.
Shay-Lynn Reight: Love your videos and info!! What would my life be without brad mondo!
Zen Zeph: Brad was trying so hard that whole video to not just eat Dr. Mike up with his eyes it was amazing. And honestly, same bro
Ella Cois: Thank you Dr. Mike and Brad... I have been having scalp problems for the past 2 years... Not 100% sure if this was caused by the radiotherapy or by the meds prescribed after treatment. My scalp looks like burnt...is read raw and sitting on the redness is the flake, that looks like cradle cap, large oily flake. I only get few patches around my scalp, but at the front(hairline from left to right side of my sideburn... I have tried many things, initially will clear it out, but after the third use it returns... I'll try some of the products you mentioned,and I hope to get some relief
puff balls: I still have scalp psoriasis due to constant stress. I used to have psoriasis to the other parts of my body but the stubborn and more embarrasing one is the scalp psoriasis. One thing for sure though, avoiding SLS in shampoos definitely helps lessen the plaque formation.
Camila Martin: I use to shower everyday with Head & Shoulders, and all it did was make my dandruff worse. I tried using Selson Blue and Head & Shoulders every other time I shower, which is every other day. This greatly improved my dandruff, and after a few months of that routine, I got rid of my dandruff that I have had for 4 years! Some did come back, but I used the dandruff shampoos again and it got rid of it. I'm not saying this could work for you, I'm just saying this because the reason why I had dandruff was because I shampooed everyday which made my scalp over-oil.
Ileidis Martinez: Love your chemistry. Please make more videos together!!
Jayy Jokela: THERE IS TOO MUCH BEAUTY ON ONE SCREEN. I don't even have these issues.
screeechbud: I have grown my hair out for the first time in my life (over the past ~2 years from a high fade combover) and have encountered flaking for the first time in my life over this time. If I wash my hair 4 or 5 times a week it doesn't really flare up... but my hair gets so much more smooth and doesn't tangle if I only wash it twice a week. I don't really care if my hair is straight or curly or wavy... i just feel like it looks way messier for a day or two after i wash it... but the flakes show up when I give it that time.
Leah A: Thank u for posting this brad mondo seriously been my hero thru the whole pandemic from my bangs to my scalp. Keep doing what ur doing yo!
John Zamora: Hello, thank you for this video! My boyfriend has been having issues and I'm trying to help him because he feels bad about it. So I will definitely be buying these and trying them out! Keep talking about these health topics!
Col B: I have seborrheic dermatitis and tree oil causes the most intense, unbearable itching on my scalp. Aloe Vera totally soothes the scalp. Very informative video cuz most men don't understand how much effort women put into their hair to keep it healthy and beautiful. Thank you Brad
Andrew Capatino: Ur supposed to look at the camera, not deeply into each other’s eyes
Faith Merry: Great video, Brad! Thank you for the break down, Dr. Mike! I was so frustrated with feeling like NOTHING would work because Head and Shoulders didn’t! I never thought T-Gel! And I’m glad selsum blue is different :)
tilly c: Remember, psoriasis is not something everyone gets, it's a genetic condition (though can be triggered by environmental conditions). It is uncomfortable but possible to treat, but, as Dr Mike said, not 'cure-able'. If you have dry scalp only, then it's very unlikely to be psoriasis. But if you have patches on your body, definitely get to a doctor soon before it gets worse xx double base cream (not e45) steroid treatments and UV treatment are all great for symptom management xx not saying this as a doctor but as someone who has psoriasis and has family members will also have it. It also can be much worse for men so guys please be aware if patches appear.
Brandy Brandeberry: I love this, the one thing I completely disagree with is “picking”. As a hair stylist I have many guests who’s extra matter has actually festered the scalp because it can not breath! After a basic shampoo the scalp will actually bleed. You can pick a scab, this is not a scab this is someone hoteling in your hair. A “Vet” brush on the scalp every night does wonders. 7 bucks at your local store
Sharmine St. Louis: Love your videos and having Dr Mike was cheery on the top I follow his channel and he is very helpful and explains so well. Thank you for talking about this problem as my scalp is so itchy these days .
Siera Jessica: Brad and Dr Mike - "Don't scratch" "Don't pick" Me - *scratches more aggressively*
L'Orange Amère: Ive had scalp proriasis for past ten years. I also live where the winter is super harsh so its difficult (lack of light and cold make pso worst). From experience, the best shampoo is from Redken. (white bottle). On the natural side, ginger and turmeric DAILY supplements, omega 3 and meditation do wonders. If you have a bad crisis (bleeding and all) aloe gel mixed with a drop of lavender EO overnight makes it heal much faster. Hope that can help someone out there. Dont forget, skin diseases like pso are very emotional. You need to fix yourself first from within. Lots of love to you.
LucyK: As far as dandruff from oily scalp, like acne a lot of it is genetic. Diet can help a little, but it's genetic. I've had great results with both tea tree oil and apple cider vinegar applied to the scalp.
Richelline Presta: Brad what do you do to treat dry scalp or Dandruff with excess oil or sebum to get rid of it and have healthier hair scalp and less sebum? Also how often should one shampoo their hair to prevent more problems?
Emily: I admire you so much Brad for doing this video, thank you so much c: <3
Fire Fox: Brad is not only an amazing person, a comedian, a hair dresser, but he is now a doctor. Wow.
Sunev: I had gotten a dry scalp/flaking after a concussion and not sure if that’s why it happened, or if it was the only time I began to notice it, but I haven’t been able to get rid of it since. I do struggle with hydrating so I’m going to see if that helps.
Michele I Branton: Very informative and entertaining as well. Kudos!
Clumsy Cloud: For the past like 3 months I’ve been getting huge scabs on my scalp, and I can’t help but pick at them, and they keep getting worse. I’ve been thinking it might be my shampoo and I’ve tried different kinds of shampoo but it’s still the same. I’ve never had this before so it’s just weird to me
Faith Summerz: I recently shaved my head and noticed how red and damaged by scalp was. I have always dealt with dandruf and dry scalp my whole like but a shaved head really shows what’s going on. My mom luckily had an aloe plant and we took some of the jell inside the leaves and rubbed it on my head. Not only 2 hours later you already saw the redness go down. And now it’s two days later and I’ve been putting it on repedidly throughout these two days and my mom says you can barely see where you have your scars anymore. So I can define you say aloe helps SO MUCH
Sofía Trujillo: Brad falling in love with Dr.Mike for 18 minutes straight... We get it, we all do. Great video!
Cynthia Garcera: I love that you had Dr. Mike on your video!! I watch a lot of his videos. I love how he explains and gives lots of info!
JessieA: Thanks for this. I have plaque psoriasis that is very mild (knock on wood) but it's still a pain nonetheless.
Chelsea: Apple cider vinegar used to be used as a conditioner/detangler before there was a conditioner. Ive used it before and it does a lot to make my hair shiny and helped with a fungus issue I had once. It also helps strip dye out of hair--I was not excited about that. My grandmother talked about using it with soap and how excited she was as a girl when her mom brought home shampoo and conditioner and explained what it was. It was too expensive so they continued to use soap and vinegar until she was a teen.
April S: Very informative and entertaining! Thanks so much, fellas.
Júlia Assis: And that’s how you know that Brad is VERY professional. I could never be this close to Dr. Mike and not have a complete meltdown
Namdjwox: I’ve had problems with my scalp(mild) so I looked up on youtube and this helps. Thank you!
Sheogorath: 50/50 water and ACV really worked well for my scalp. The first application caused me to stop scratching & made it feel hydrated without being oily.
Inez Ivonne: Very informative video. Amazing that you collated with a doctor I will be implementing some of these things
Tailah L McDonnell Cox: Lots of alcohol and "partying" I love brads dedication to keeping his channel innocent and family friendly.
Petite: So Brad: hair care Hyram: skincare Mike: healthcare It's coming full circle
Aislynn Worden: i've struggled with this for YEARS now and my doctor knows, i have a mix of seborratic dermatitis with pre-existing dermatillomania so that is just a horrible combo. i was prescribed ketoconazole shampoo but stopped using it bc i was dying my hair fashion colors and that shit would strip the color like crazy and overall just leaves my hair feeling super dry. I'm growing my natural hair out again and using the shampoo but my anxiety has gotten worse which means I've been picking more. it is really great to see that I'm not alone in this and see more information being shared with the public on it. i have always been so insecure abt my hair and skin bc of this and even though it's kinda a trend rn to take care of your scalp a little extra, i have definitely found some new things that have helped my situation through it trending and am incredibly grateful!
_Salty.shima_: I'm so glad I found a good product for my scalp I thought I was the only one with this kind of scalp problem
Jacob Andersen: A video about scalp care with Brad Mando and Dr. Mike? Yes thank you!
RinatyaNessim: Head'n'Shoulders caused my dandruff to worsen considerably, thanks Dr. Mike for explaining why!
brittini craig: Its funny that Mike said he is a "fungi" because the people that study 'fungi" is a mycologist ("mike"ologist).
kakashi Hatake: I would say whether the natural stuff works or not depends on the person themselves. Like Brad say coconut oil is terrible but it has done wonders to my hair. On the other hand, aloe vera which is recommended by many people and Brad himself kinda made my hair feel awful.
Tosha McCarty: Some styling products especially used as thermal protectants for the hair when blow drying and brush curling the hair can cause itchy, dry scalp. If your shower or bath water is too hot or say it's hard water - mineral deposits, it can cause it or make it worse too. Washing your hair too much or going too long in between can also cause these changes.
EllieEm: Great information and explanations! I was hoping though to hear of some hair products or treatment that may trigger or aggravate these issues, such as keratin, as well as how to handle treatment of certain hair issues while also tackling scalp issues. The shampoos mentioned would likely further strip my extremely dry, coarse, and highlighted hair. I try to use hair products that give it the most hydration, repair, and protection, so I am very leery of using "medicated" shampoos for my scalp (which are likely not color-safe). I have washed my hair in small amount of shampoo, coated my hair in conditioner, avoiding scalp, then put a medicated shampoo like the ones mentioned on my scalp for 10 mins or so (whatever the bottle said), and rinsed. Then followed with conditioner again, since the medicated shampoo just ran through my hair, and rinsed. Not sure if this is good or not or if rubbing conditioner into scalp after a medicated shampoo or on the days only other shampoo is being used would be recommended or could make the problem worse...??? I never know what to do!
Luc The Nerd: I've been using head and shoulders for over 15 years. I tried changing shampoos, but after several weeks I would get flaking and dandruff and it would itch like crazy. I got back into it and I don't have that issue anymore.
Chloie Lunar: Dr mike: "I didnt go to medical school for 10 years just to prescribe apple cider vinegar" Dr farrah: ️️
DR1206: Z bars are the best for dandruff. Keep it in a soap container and use it 2-3 times a week, dandruff free. Also good for a pre face wash cleanse, it was recommended to me by my dermatologist when I was struggling with acne and it cleared my skin up very nicely.
Jennifer Jude: Thank you so much for this video it was exactly what I needed
Anna K.: I think the bumps on my scalp are fungal acne and I started using tea tree oil starting two days ago because I already had it and I am so surprised at how well it gets rid of itchiness and I can see the redness and bumps disappearing and I thought it would make no difference. Also apple cider vinegar can be bad for your scalp. If you don't dilute it properly it can be too acidic
Aurora Lenore: I gotta say, T-Gel (Maximum Strenth) is the ONLY shampoo that eliminated my flakes, and I had flakes since adolescence. I used it maybe once a week, and I haven't used it in almost a year now. I am still 100% flake free, and I will swear by it as the product to use (sparingly, of course) if nothing else works. Of course, ask a doctor first if you're unsure (even though I didn't...).
Zoe Mayo: The collab no one asked for but was blessed to recieve.
NataliaoRI: From the time I was a little kid until I was 20 I went to all kinds of doctors for my "dandruff" we tried everything. At 21 I had some traumatic things happen that caused my stress to skyrocket and then doctors and I could clearly see it was not dandruff but psoriasis that now was so bad it was affecting my joints. I went thru years of serious meds including infusion treatments and low dose chemo as it was taking off the skin on my palms and feet. Nothing helped. Then my friend recommended I watch fat sick and nearly dead. I did the exclusive only juicing diet for 2 months and I got all of skin back and since then I don't eat processed foods and I haven't had to take meds at all since. It's been probably close to 10 years now. They are not kidding about how diet can do this to you. (Also stress doesn't help it so say f it to a lot of crap and only worry about level 8 and above problems)
Morgan_Horse: The collab I didn’t know I needed (but I did because I’ve had dandruff my whole life, literally since I was a baby)
Natalie Sue: Yes, I've had dandruff since I was 10. But my skin and hair has always been on the oilier side. Shampoos with added oils just make my freshly washed hair look dirty. My mom raised us to be avid water drinkers. I've drank even more as I have aged. I was and still am always carrying water bottles.
Kate Taleska: Two of my favorite youtube people treating an issue I have for years.
sunflwrr: You can tell Mike is a doctor with his hand gestures and eye contact.
ngpi1987: Since I started following Brad's tip on avoiding frizz, of washing my hair less often and doing fake washes instead, my itchiness has been reduced, and since I am not scratching my scalp, I've reduced the flakiness a lot. I do 1 day wash, 2 day nothing, 3 day fake wash (just rinsing my hair and applying conditioner in the length of the hair), 4 day washing my hair. I would try to go longer but I work in a very polluted district. Last year, it was so bothersome that at some point I went to the dermatologist and he prescribed a anti-fungi shampoo to use every day for 30 days, but at day 20 the sensation was horrible, my scalp didn't itch but my hair felt sticky instead and looked opaque. 5:19 OMG T-GEL has saved my brother scalp. He developed something weird, it was a mix between eczema and keloid acne. He underwent several treatments with doctors and nothing worked, for years, he started losing hair... I read about Neutrogena's T-Gel and imported two bottles, and so far it has been the only thing that have worked! his scalp it much better, it doesn't itch that much. The other thing that kind of worked was a shampoo bar by Lush made of nettles, but I think they don't make it anymore.
Dawn Mic. Herring: has trichotillomania, over the last few years sadly, and I can say.... it doesn't show any worse, but that doesn't mean my scalp isn't in danger. so thank you for this vid because I am doing what i can to care for my body better.
Alison Pekrul: I have both psoriasis and dandruff on my scalp. Psoriasis on my undercut area and dandruff all over. I have to use a specific psoriasis shampoo twice a week and I use head and shoulders for the rest of the week. I have dry hair in general so I use the supreme nourish and smooth head and shoulders and it does really help make my hair smooth and my scalp a lot less dry and did help my dandruff. I really appreciated this video and the tips and products I can try! Love and appreciate you Brad <3
