Q. How does the Arata Anti-Dandruff shampoo work?

Ans. Dandruff is a common scalp condition characterised by flaky, itchy skin. It's caused by an overgrowth of a naturally occurring yeast-like fungus called Malassezia. The Arata Anti Dandruff shampoo targets this through anti-fungal actives like Piroctone Olamine, while CutiBiome CLR™ helps soothe itching and restore balance to the scalp’s natural microbiome.

Q. How do I know if I have dandruff, or simply a dry scalp? Will the treatment for each differ?

Ans. Dandruff is typically caused by excess sebum and an overgrowth of a fungus called Malassezia. This fungus causes large, oily flakes that may appear yellowish or white, and stick to the scalp. You might also notice itching and inflammation. A dry scalp on the other hand is when the scalp does not produce enough sebum, leading to moisture loss and itching. This is characterized by small, dry, white flakes that easily fall from the scalp and hair. Treatment will differ depending on your condition. Anti-dandruff products that contain anti-fungals will work well for dandruff caused by an oily scalp, while using scalp-soothing ingredients will work well for flaking due to a dry scalp. The Arata Anti Dandruff range helps tackle both, thanks to a formula that’s enriched with Piroctone Olamine (an antifungal), and Cutibiome CLR (that balances the scalp’s microbiome and soothes the scalp).

Q. How often should I use the Arata Anti-Dandruff shampoo? Can I use it daily?

Ans. In general, anti-dandruff shampoos should be used at least thrice a week, and more often if your dandruff is persistent. Once your dandruff is under control, you can reduce the frequency. Remember - Malassezia feeds on the natural sebum produced by your scalp, so the cleaner you keep your scalp, the better your results will be. Thanks to the gentle, sulphate-free formula, it can safely be used daily.

Q. How long should I leave the Arata Anti-Dandruff shampoo on my scalp?

Ans. Anti-dandruff shampoos usually need to be left on for a few minutes (ideally 2-3 minutes) so that the active ingredients have sufficient time to work. Remember to focus the shampoo on the scalp rather than the hair, as that’s where dandruff forms.

Q. How long will it take to see results from using the Arata Anti-Dandruff shampoo?

Ans. You’ll notice a visible reduction in dandruff and itching from the first use itself - but remember, consistency is key. You must continue to use the product frequently in order to fully keep dandruff at bay.

Q. Is the Arata Anti-Dandruff shampoo suitable for all hair types?

Ans. The gentle formula, containing coconut oil-based cleansing agents, makes it suitable for all hair types. The formula is also CGM-friendly, making this an excellent option for people with curly hair struggling with dandruff.

Q. Is the Arata Anti-Dandruff shampoo safe for coloured or chemically treated hair?

Ans. The Arata Anti Dandruff shampoo is sulphate and sodium-chloride-free, the two most common ingredients that can strip coloured or chemically treated hair. This allows the shampoo to be hard on dandruff, but easy on treated strands.

Q. Is it possible to cure dandruff completely?

Ans. No, dandruff cannot be cured permanently since it is a recurring condition caused by a microbe that's always present on the scalp. However, you can reduce the flaking and itchiness with proper treatment and hair care habits. The Arata Anti Dandruff shampoo will let you enjoy up to 100% reduction in flakes and itching, but you need to invest time in consistent usage to help you maintain these results.

Q. What else can I do to manage my dandruff?

Ans. In addition to using an anti-dandruff treatment, you must invest in a hair care routine that helps you maintain a healthy scalp environment. Whether that’s using a scalp massager to clear up flakes and buildup, or ensuring you don’t go to bed with wet hair - small habits can help you manage your dandruff more effectively. Dandruff-prone scalps need to be washed more frequently, so don’t be scared of shampooing 3-4 times a week. Avoid oiling your scalp, since dandruff-causing fungus feeds on oil and sebum, leading to increased dandruff. For severe dandruff, pair the shampoo with the Anti Dandruff Tonic.

Q. If I don’t have dandruff, can I still use the Arata Anti-Dandruff shampoo?

Ans. Absolutely. It is completely safe to use the anti dandruff shampoo even if you don’t have dandruff, since the actives used have an excellent safety profile.

Q. Can children safely use the Arata Anti-Dandruff shampoo?

Ans. Yes, children can safely use the anti dandruff shampoo which has been dermatologically tested to be safe and non irritating. Remember to do a patch test before use. However, If a child has persistent dandruff or scalp issues, it is best to consult a dermatologist.

Q. Is the Arata Anti-Dandruff shampoo safe for use during pregnancy?

Ans. It's always best to consult with your doctor or a qualified healthcare professional before using any new products during pregnancy. This is because most actives, whether that’s in our product, or other products in the market, have limited research on their safety during pregnancy.

Q. I suffer from both hairfall and dandruff. Which shampoo is best for me - the Arata Anti Dandruff Shampoo or the Arata Super Shampoo?

Ans. We would recommend you use the Anti Dandruff shampoo if you suffer from both dandruff, and hair fall. This is because hair health starts at the scalp. The inflammation and itching associated with dandruff can damage hair follicles, while flakes and buildup can clog them, preventing healthy growth. Using an anti-dandruff shampoo will help you kill two birds with one stone, and you should be able to see visible improvements in both your dandruff and hair fall. For severe hairfall, you can opt for our Intensive Hair Growth Serum.

Q. Is the Arata Anti-Dandruff shampoo Cruelty Free & Vegan?

Ans. All Arata products are cruelty free and vegan, including the anti dandruff shampoo.

Product colour may change over time due to the use of natural ingredients, but the efficacy remains unaffected. We recommend a patch test, particularly for sensitive skin. For external use only. Use as directed for best results. Avoid contact with eyes. If the product comes in contact with your eyes, rinse thoroughly with water. If irritation develops and persists, discontinue use and consult a physician.
