Dandruff hell …

20 Sep

Yeah.  About that title.  Sorry, but I couldn’t think of anything more suitable for this post so please buckle up, grin and bare it.

==========

Picture this.

Most mornings I shamelessly wake up with a bounce in my step and a song in my heart.  While the majority of the house is still sleeping, I grab a cup of coffee and cosy up on my brown, leather couch to do a spot of reading.  Sounds all very nice and all, doesn’t it?  Believe me it is … until I suddenly spot them.

Flakes.

Lovely white flakes.

All around me … and I realise that once again I have sat in a veritable pile of snow — my husband’s dandruff.  You see, he has a bit of a dandruff problem lately which means I’m in dandruff hell.  Did I mention we have a dark brown leather couch?

Believe me, it’s not a pretty sight nor is it any fun to clean up.  And, evidently the hubby is left mystified as to why I am so grossed out by it as after all it is just little parts of him flaking off.  (His words, not mine.)

Dead skin.

Ewwwwwwww.  I mean, come on.  Can we get any grosser?

He just doesn’t see it though.  I guess, like most dandruff sufferers, he doesn’t know that every time he so much as touches his head an avalanche occurs.  Truth be told, it’s a little problem that’s fast becoming between us because each time I see him scratch his head I cringe and then I’m all yelling and snapping at him to stop.

Bless him, he has tried everything, but a prescription strength treatment shampoo.  That’s the next resort methinks as I just can’t take it anymore.  His superhuman shedding powers must be stopped. 

Help!

Now, if you happen to have a better title for me, do me a favour and keep it to yourself, however, if you have a known cure for my dandruff hell I’d love to hear it. Thanks.

    My boyfriend has absolutely horrible dandruff as well, and the only thing that has calmed his is only shampooing every other day instead of daily and using Aussie Three Minute Miracle conditioner. He never has flakes anymore.
