Dandruff ... Rare lucky people have never faced this unpleasant phenomenon. Continuous, exhausting itching, scalp, irritated with scratching, not to mention the fact that these small scales greatly spoil the appearance of the hair, giving them a neglected, unhealthy appearance. In addition to all this, dandruff causes weakness in the roots of the hair, reducing the access of oxygen to them. This deprives the hair of health, and, consequently, natural brilliance and strength. Strange, for some reason, most people do not realize that dandruff is not just a nuisance trouble, but grooming, which is necessary and important to urgently treat. "How to get rid of dandruff, folk remedies" - the theme of our today's article.
It is not enough to wash off simply formed skin scales. We need to understand what caused their appearance and eliminate the factors that triggered the disease. The reasons can be both external and internal.
We refer to external :
improperly selected shampoo, balm and paint, if you dye your hair, of course;
hard water - and in most of the settlements it is still tough;
Of course, one must not forget about the influence of exhaust gases and similar environmental factors that we are inevitably exposed to more or less.
To the second group, internal factors, we unequivocally attribute:
malnutrition;
general hormonal imbalance of your body;
dermatoses of different genesis;
stress.
As you understand, treatment should be prescribed in accordance with the factors. And if the internal reasons are guilty, then the only correct thing is to bring your body in order. Align the hormonal balance ( consult a doctor - trichologist ). Start to monitor the diet, eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, such as bananas, dates, tomatoes, cabbage, carrots, avocados. Consume fish, seafood, walnuts, peanuts, cheese. Definitely it is necessary to reduce the intake of alcohol, sweet, spicy and fatty foods. It will not be superfluous for your health as a whole the regular use of multivitamins. Specialists also recommend eating medical yeast. All these products will saturate your body with vitamins B and PP, as well as zinc. These elements will reduce the itching, relieve your skin from dryness and help cure dandruff.
If the cause is in external factors, then as much as possible to minimize their harmful effects on your hair and scalp.
Hard water can be very simply softened by adding a drop of vinegar to it. You can even buy a distiller and wash your head with distilled water. Also very important is the temperature of the water used. For the scalp is useful "contrast" washing, that is, a simple alternation of cool and warm water. This will also give a useful hardening effect. But never turn on too hot water, this has a very negative effect on the condition of the hair roots.
Do not dye your hair often. It would be optimal to abandon the chemical coloration of hair. But if there is a desire or a need to still use the paint, then remember the natural dyes. This is henna, basma, onion husk, walnut shell. They are great substitutes for chemistry and will only benefit your hair.
From shampoos and other means used for hair care, soft, hypoallergenic children's shampoos and balms - rinses are ideal.
It will not be superfluous to notice that the treatment also depends on the type of dandruff .
Dry dandruff occurs when the skin is dry. It is easily peeled off, the hair is dry, brittle, as if covered with snowflakes. Oily dandruff appears on the excessively oily scalp. It is a very unpleasant sight - fatty yellowish pieces of dandruff hang on quickly becoming greasy after washing your hair.
