Do you know that dandruff affects about 70% of the American

population? Do you know that they spend $300,000,000 trying to

get rid of it?

Dandruff is the most widespread problem of the scalp! But you

must understand that it is not contagious and it is not a

disease! Dandruff can not threaten your life, but it often

threatens your mental peace.

Shedding of skin is a natural phenomenon. The skin of your

scalp replenishes every month. The dead cells that previously

formed your scalp now make up the dandruff.

The presence of negligible dandruff is inevitable. The problem

arises only when the presence of dead cells in the form of

flakes suddenly increases.

Physicians still debate what causes dandruff. Many researchers

believe that it results from excessive growth of the yeast

Pityrosporum Ovale that normally resides on everyone’s scalp.

Pityrosporum constitutes the major part of skin flora. You

suffer from dandruff when the normal limit of 46% of

Pityrosporum increases up to the 74% mark.

Factors like emotional and physical stress are no less

important in triggering dandruff growth. Stress management also

improves the scalp condition. Dandruff growth increases during

winter compared to summer for most people.

Because you can find tons of products and medicated lotions,

you do not need to worry about the dandruff problem. You just

need to find the remedy that works for you.

If you suffer from mild dandruff, wash your scalp regularly to

remove the excess flakes. If you suffer from stubborn flakes,

treatment through a medicated shampoo is the answer.

You can use many natural remedies to treat dandruff. You need

to try some to see what works for you.

You can even treat dandruff by using essential oils and herbs.

If you do not mind long-term treatments, you can opt for the

various home remedies. A mixture of coconut oil and lemon juice

is equally effective as treatment with apple cider vinegar.

Natural remedies take time to show any visible results and need

consistent use but they are effective in addressing the cause.

If you want a speedy control, use shampoos containing

ketaconazole.

Avoid using shampoos with harsh chemicals if you have a bruised

scalp. Applying shampoos containing such chemicals on broken

skin may cause irritation. If a particular product shows no

results, try another with a different ingredient base.

Washing your hair regularly is important. If you find that

washing your hair gives you frizzy or dry ends, the little

secret to handle that is to take some conditioner and add it to

the ends of your hair before washing it normally. Then condition

it after shampooing, if you like to use conditioner.

One way to stop over-conditioning your hair and save you money

is to put a little of your favorite brand of conditioner in a

spritz bottle, with about 4 times more water. After shampooing,

rinse. Towel dry, then spritz the conditioner in.

Another mistake that many people make is to put gel in their

hair. It's okay to put gel in your hair if that is your styling

preference. But, it builds up and causes flakes, which many

think is dandruff.

Get into the habit of washing your hair more often. It's only

the start of getting rid of dandruff. Think about it. If all

that was required was just washing your hair more often, there

would be no dandruff.
