Symptoms of Dandruff .......................................................................
As the epidermal layer continually replaces itself, cells are pushed outward where they eventually die and flake off. In most people, these flakes of skin are too small to be visible. However, certain conditions cause cell turnover to be unusually rapid, especially in the scalp. For people with dandruff, skin cells may mature and be shed in 2 - 7 days, as opposed to around a month in people without dandruff. The result is that dead skin cells are shed in large, oily clumps, which appear as white or grayish patches on the scalp skin and clothes. Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dandruff
- DO NOT use products such as 'Head and Shoulders'. You're just asking for more dry skin and it can ruin the rest of your hair, as well as sucking any chemical process right out of the cuticle!
- Avoid shampoos that contain too much detergent. If your shampoo produces a lot of lather, it has a lot of detergent; less lather, less detergent.
- Avoid styling products with too much alcohol
- Gentle massage the scalp as you shampoo to remove dead skin
- Use a conditioner everyday and a deep conditioner once a week.
- By eliminating the fungus, you will see dramatic improvements. Regular shampooing with an anti-fungal product can reduce the recurrence of dandruff.
How to cure Dandruff. Treatment of Dandruff ...............................
I highly recommend using a product that contains tea tree oil. Tea tree oil has many benefits: Tea Tree oil is one of the best and most effective methods of dealing with acne without the drying side effects. It is also antiseptic, antiviral, and antifungal and stimulates the immune system. Tea Tree oil can be used for a variety of common ailments; cold, flu, thrush, sinusitis, cold sores, fungal infection, oily skin and infected wounds. Every client of mine that has used Tea Tree shampoo has had wonderful results. Just be sure to use a conditioner on the ends of your hair.
