 I'm presently living in a building with proper HVAC and filtration and what that ultimately means is I have a dry scalp for the first time since 1997. It looks *horrible* close up. I literally showered this morning and it's... distressing to look at, to put it mildly.

Wondering what the solution to that is other than "shave head" or "shampoo every single day, thus making my hair look like shit."

Dandruff shampoo? 
 @27823c36 maybe switch to johnston's baby shampoo, its a lot more gentle on skin.   also get a hairbrush with actual hog bristle for occasional exfoliation of the scalp.   I used to have dandruff when I used harsher shampoos, but maybe the etiology of my problem was different
