I do not believe so, but it may be that you are not completely rinsing the shampoo or conditioner from your hair. that build up will cause flakes the look exactly like dandruff. try a tea tree or clarifying shampoo for a week or so and then go back to your normal shampoo and that may work. good luck!

Yes, somewhat. The reason you get dry scalp is because you hair is so thick your scalp doesnt get much moisture to it. Shampoo your hair with a good dandruff shampoo like something with tea tree oil in it and make sure you wash it out completely some times thats another way you can get flakes also. hope this helps

Don't know aobut it scientifically, but I have mega thick hair and I rarely get dandruff. A lot of it depends on whether you have oily or dry skin since dandruff comes from the scalp flaking. I have oily hair as well and this is probably why I don't get dandruff. I'd suggest buying a dandruff shampoo first to help that problem and then after you use that buy shampoo for dry or damaged hair since it will give it vitamins needed for good scalp lubrication. :)
