The story behind our Don’t Be Flaky Serum
Flakes have been a part of my hair story for as long as I can remember. Like so many of us, I grew up hearing advice from every corner about how to "fix" my scalp. But one experience with a stylist truly changed everything.
I was sitting in her chair, sharing my frustration about my persistent dandruff. Her advice? "Your scalp is dry: oil your scalp—it’ll take care of the flakes." I wanted to believe her, so I followed her suggestion to the letter. But instead of relief, I noticed the flakes were worse than ever. It wasn’t until I checked the label on the oil she recommended that I realized it contained coconut oil and castor oil, both of which can worsen dandruff. I did not know it at the time, but oil can worsen dandruff.
Back then, I didn’t know the science behind what was happening. All I knew was that I felt defeated. But that frustration ignited a spark in me—a determination to understand the root cause of my scalp issues. That’s when I began my journey to becoming a certified trichologist, diving deep into the science of hair and scalp health.
What I discovered was a game-changer: dandruff isn’t caused by dryness; it’s a reaction to a yeast called Malassezia. And while some oils might soothe a dry scalp, others—like coconut oil—can feed the yeast and make dandruff worse. That realization inspired me to shift my focus from temporary fixes to long-term solutions.
Enter Rouzié Don’t Be Flaky Scalp Serum. I created this oil-free serum as the product I wish I’d had years ago. Its formula delivers lightweight hydration without clogging your pores or feeding yeast, using science-backed ingredients to soothe irritation and calm flakes.
My hope is that this serum helps you feel confident again, knowing you can address your scalp issues without the frustration I experienced. Flakes don’t have to define your hair story—and with the right tools, they won’t.
Here’s to flake-free days and happy, healthy hair! 💛
