Dandruff- An Overview
Dandruff is not a life-threatening problem, yet it often threatens your mental peace.
Undoubtedly, you do not wish to be embarrassed by the white flaky dandruff powdered all over your shoulders. It is not surprising that Americans spend $300,000,000 on anti-dandruff products each year.
Dandruff affects around 50,000,000 people. You could well imagine the condition of your scalp with deposits of white flakes on them. The moment you scratch your scalp, white scales fill up your nail and leave you more vexed and frustrated.
Have you ever thought about its underlying cause? As you know, 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 uncontrollably. The removal process works at a normal pace and soon there is excess-deposits of dead cells on the scalp.
Dandruff has triggered a ton of debate amongst physicians. Many researchers believe that it results from excessive growth of the yeast Pityrosporum Ovale that is normally present 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. This huge increase causes inflammation and itching of the scalp. When you can put a check on this overgrowth, you can bring dandruff under control. Factors like emotional and physical stress are no less important in triggering dandruff growth.
Stress management also improves the scalp condition. There is a general tendency of dandruff growth to increase during winter compared to summer for most people.
Because of the myriad of over-the-counter products and medicated lotions, you do not need to worry about the problem of dandruff. You just need to find the remedy that works for you. It is easy to control dandruff by using some of the various remedies available. The most convenient method with mild dandruff is to wash your scalp regularly to remove the excess flakes. If you are suffering from stubborn flakes, treatment through a medicated shampoo is the answer.
Dandruff is not contagious and it is not a disease!
There are many natural remedies to treat dandruff. You need to try some to see what works for you. If you have high blood pressure and you go to the doctor, he/she will start you on one kind of medication. Assuming that the first one may not be right for you, the doctor will try different brands and dosages until they find the right one for you. It is the same for dandruff, except you do may not need a doctor to treat your dandruff. You do, however, need to confirm with a doctor to make sure it is dandruff that you are trying to prevent.
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 which some people find effective in controlling it. 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 are effective in addressing the cause. If you want a speedy control, shampoos containing ketaconazole are useful. 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 is not effective for you, try another with a different ingredient base. Dandruff is not a major problem and you have scores of remedies available for you to bring it under control.
Many people use the same shampoo over and over and month after month.
This can cause flaking. Even a person who does not have dandruff may find their scalp has a build up, some flaking and is becoming unbearably itchy.
You need to change your shampoo. I keep three bottles of different brands in my shower. How often you wash your hair will depend on you. I tend to like to wash my hair every other day. When I was younger, I just washed it every day. However, as I got older, I saw my hair was losing some of its bounce, and discovered that once every other day was perfect for me. You will need to test what works best for you.
In the old days, children were told to wash their hair only once a week. That is archaic. The oil builds up and the hair gets droopy and heavy. It loses its fresh scent and is generally, nowadays, considered unclean.
Even African-Americans have discovered it is okay to wash your hair more often. Oprah Winfrey mentioned that many years ago on one of her shows.
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 are a person who likes 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. However, it builds up and causes flakes, which many THINK is dandruff. So, 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 problem.
