It often happens that we get dandruff in our hair and it has a very bad effect when one of our friends sees it, so it often happens that people avoid us and gossip that we have dandruff and do not maintain hygiene properly, so here's how to get rid of dandruff:
You probably already have the best allies in the fight against dandruff at home. Here's what you can do to get rid of these inconveniences.
Dandruff is not dangerous but it is annoying and unpleasant. Especially if you like to wear a dark wardrobe, so the white "crumbs" are on your shoulders during work hours.
The scalp begins to flake when the fungus from the Malassezia strain begins to multiply excessively and causes flaking of the skin. In addition, there are two types of dandruff, the first occurs when the scalp is too dry, the second when the scalp is too oily. Irregular combing and washing of hair, poor nutrition, stress, but also diseases such as eczema or dermatitis can also contribute to the appearance of dandruff.
Here's what you should do:
Anti-dandruff shampoo
Dandruff is caused by fungi that we all have on the scalp, and dandruff occurs when they multiply beyond measure, and then cause the scalp cells to die too quickly. "To stop the growth of these fungi, you need a shampoo that contains either the active substance zinc pyrithione or the active substance selenium sulfide," explains dermatologist Joshua Zeichner of Mount Siney Hospital in New York. So, don't follow advertisements, but read the declarations on anti-dandruff shampoos. "You need to massage it well into the scalp, leave it on for at least a minute or two, and then it is important to wash it well. The unpleasant feeling and the amount of dandruff should be slightly reduced after the first use, but it is very important that continue to use this shampoo every day until all the symptoms disappear. It usually happens after a month of regular use, "he says. After that, you should use this shampoo once or twice a week to keep dandruff under control.
Appropriate shampoo
"Untreated dandruff can develop into seborrheic dermatitis," says trichologist (hair and scalp specialist) Dr Sally Ann Tarver for the British Mirror. "In that case, the scalp can become sore and bruised, and in the worst case, hair loss can occur."
The first step in the fight against dandruff, of course, is to use the appropriate shampoo without exception.
"Medical anti-dandruff shampoos prevent the fungi that cause dandruff from multiplying. In addition, these shampoos also do a mild exfoliation of the scalp, so they speed up the solution of the problem," lies Dr. Tarver.
She also notes that the myth is that frequent hair washing only worsens the condition: "Fungi feed on the natural fat of the scalp, so it is very important that you wash your hair often and regularly."
