Some Useful Tips and Guidelines
The problem arises when production of new cells rise considerably while the removal process progresses on at its normal speed. Various tips and guidelines can control production of dandruff while none can completely cure it.
Shampooing your hair daily with a dandruff shampoo is good to control dandruff. If you leave the lather for a few minutes on the scalp and rinse afterwards, it yields better results.
Most anti-dandruff shampoos are strong and may cause hair damage. For a better result, use a conditioner. It will help to smooth out tangles of the hair.
Once dandruff comes under control, you can start to use the anti-dandruff shampoo periodically with your regular shampoo.
If you do not get enough relief from these over-the-counter products, you should seek a doctor’s advice.
If the flakes are also present elsewhere, you may be suffering from any other skin problem like seborrhea dermatitis or psoriasis.
A cytostatic agent reduces the rate of multiplication of cells present in the top layer of the scalp. Zinc Pyrithione and selenium sulfide are important ingredients of anti-dandruff shampoos. They are cytostatic agents that prevent uncontrolled cell multiplication. Use of these materials help reduce dandruff considerably.
Selenium sulfide may cause harmful effects if the scalp has abrasions or cuts on it. You should not use a shampoo containing selenium sulfide in such a case.
A tar-based shampoo is also helpful in controlling dandruff.
Some facts about Dandruff
Sometimes dandruff occurs only for a very short duration and may disappear without treatment. A lot depends on the cause that triggers it.
You can notice a sudden growth in dandruff when under stress. Internal causes affect dandruff growth as much as the external causes.
Dandruff worsens with build-up of oil and dirt. The flakes may enlarge further in their presence.
Gentle massaging of the scalp loosens the flakes and it gets easier to remove it through thorough rinsing.
Factors that Worsen Dandruff
Scratching of the scalp may break the skin and make it prone to the effects of harmful bacteria and germs. It may even damage the hair at its root and weaken it.
Use of hair gels may be harmful for a dandruff-stricken scalp. It can irritate the scalp and may increase dandruff growth.
If your scalp remains wet for a considerable time, it may facilitate dandruff growth. Moisture helps in the growth of the fungus Malassezia furfur, a probable cause of dandruff.
There are some beneficial bacteria found on your scalp. The bacteria controls the growth of dandruff-causing fungus on the scalp. Hair dye kills the beneficial bacteria and provides conditions for the fungus to multiply rapidly.
Using an anti-dandruff shampoo containing selenium sulfide within 48 hours of using a perm lotion or hair colorant destroys the effects of the chemical.
Natural remedies for controlling Dandruff
Tea tree oil is a natural product that effectively controls dandruff growth. A research article published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology in 2002 states that a shampoo containing 5% tea tree oil brought improvement in dandruff condition by 41%.
A liquid formed by boiling dried thyme in half litre of water is good for treating a dandruff-affected scalp.
Rubbing a thick gel of Aloe Vera into the scalp and leaving it overnight results in controlling dandruff greatly.
Treating the scalp with a combination of olive oil and almond oil also helps in deterring the overgrowth of dandruff.
Special requirements of an anti-dandruff product
When you look for an anti-dandruff product, you should search for the following properties:
Dandruff often accompanies itching. Look for a product that controls itching and gives you ample relief.
It is necessary to neutralize the effect of the yeast if you wish to control the overgrowth of dandruff.
Restoring the moisture balance is an essential aspect of keeping the scalp healthy and fighting excessive dandruff.
It should not produce any other irritation to the user and should be devoid of any major side-effects.
Apart from the anti-dandruff shampoos, there are other products available on the market that act on dandruff and reduce its effects to a minimum. You need to apply such products on the scalp for a few hours so they penetrate deeply and deter the effects of dandruff. They reach the hair follicles, the seat of the trouble-causing yeast and neutralize them. This method does not require regular washing but, if you have a habit to wash your hair daily, it does not interfere with it either.
Thus, you have many alternatives available for treating the unwanted overgrowth of dandruff. Choose the one that goes best with your needs.
