Getting rid of dandruff

 

Getting rid of dandruff. A common scalp problem called dandruff causes the scalp to shed tiny bits of dry skin.
Causes of dandruff Although the cause of dandruff is not fully understood, it is believed
Currently, one of the main causes is the breakdown of the scalp's natural lipid barrier, making it more susceptible to infection by the microscopic yeast commonly found in the scalp.

When yeast grows excessively, it triggers an inflammatory response that kills scalp cells at a high rate, which in turn slough off sticky patches and scales.
You can see flaking in your hair or on your shoulders if you have dark hair or wear dark clothing.

The scalp may even itch as a result of dandruff.
Contrary to popular opinion, dandruff is not primarily brought on by a lack of cleanliness. Although shampooing more frequently can make dandruff more noticeable, researchers are still studying the causes, which seem complex.

The most effective way to treat and control dandruff is to use shampoos and scalp treatments.

Status is determined by:

1- White or clear scales on the scalp, across the hair, and on clothing.

2-  Itchy scalp that may be red and inflamed.

Some young teens find that they develop dandruff as they hit puberty because their health habits haven't changed to meet the challenges of newly accelerated sebum production.

The scalp may become more susceptible to dandruff due to stress, poor cleanliness, and a bad diet. Foods rich in sugar in particular are known to aggravate yeast infections.

Regular combing of the hair will help to remove dandruff and increase blood flow to the scalp, which will hasten the body's defense against infection.

Dandruff treatment

There are a few habits that you can develop and natural remedies that you can use to treat dandruff, as well as use shampoos and scalp treatments.

Here are the solutions:

Nutrition: Excess sugar in the diet can worsen a yeast infection. While treating dandruff, make an effort to cut back on all sweets and refined carbohydrates.

Cleansing: Massage your scalp well with your fingertips when shampooing. This will help loosen and remove any dead scales and help prevent further infection. Every day until the infection goes away, wash your hair.

Conditioning: Use a protective hair conditioner on the ends of the hair only. As conditioner can clog pores and hinder skin healing, avoid applying it to your scalp.

Other treatments:

1. Massage: Massaging your scalp several times a day with finger pads only will stimulate blood flow to the hair follicles and help loosen the scales of dead skin.
2. Brushing: A good daily brushing of your hair helps loosen and remove dead scales, increases the smooth flow of sebum along the hair shaft, and increases blood flow to the hair follicles.
3. Washing hands after brushing and grooming: Fungal infections of the skin are highly contagious, and it is easy to re-infect and spread to other areas of the body. That's why it's important to wash your hair daily and get rid of any loose dandruff - so healthy areas of the scalp don't get infected. Washing your hands will also aid in avoiding cross- or reinfection after brushing, massaging, and combing your hair.

According to the American Academy of Dermatology, the most effective way to treat and control dandruff is to use shampoos and scalp treatments. Follow these dermatologists' tips for the best results:

1. Follow the instructions on the anti-dandruff shampoo package. There are many different types of shampoo, and each contains different active ingredients to control symptoms. Always adhere to the instructions on the bottle for the best results. For instance, some dandruff shampoos instruct you to bathe your hair and scalp, then let the shampoo rest for about five minutes before washing. You shouldn't leave the scalp with any other people.
2. Use dandruff shampoo twice a week if you are Caucasian or Asian and shampoo every day otherwise. If using one dandruff shampoo doesn't bring relief, try switching between shampoos with different active ingredients.
3. If you are of African descent, use the shampoo only once a week. To get the best product advice for your hair type, speak with a dermatologist who has received board certification.
4. If your dandruff shampoo contains coal tar, be careful. Tar shampoo can discolor blonde, gray, or white hair, so if you have light-colored hair, you may want to choose a different type of dandruff shampoo. Tar shampoo also has the ability to make your scalp more sensitive to sunlight. If you are using this type of dandruff shampoo, it is important to protect your scalp from the sun by wearing a hat when you are outside and seeking shade whenever possible.

Most people do not require medical attention for dandruff. However, a medical disease like eczema, seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, or fungal infection of the scalp can occasionally mimic the flaking and itching of dandruff.

If symptoms persist after using a dandruff shampoo, see a board-certified dermatologist. A dermatologist is the only person who can diagnose your condition better and will surely give you a treatment plan that suits your needs.
