Really smart breakdown of how context matters here. The point about treating flakes in isolation instead of addressing underlying causes is where most routines go sideways. I'd been doubling up on acid treatments during bad flares adn it just kept making things worse. Switching to gentler daily maintenance made a huge diference. The double cleanse approach with separate scalp + hair products is spot on tho.

Thank you! I wish you and your scalp many more happy years together :)
