Causes and Remedies for Dandruff Problems

 Every 3 out of 5 people experience dandruff issues more than once in life. This happens more on the scalp than on the hair. And when dandruff happens, no matter how one tries to hide them, but the white flakes do keep appearing. Hence, when it happens it is better to take steps and eradicate them.



Now, what exactly is dandruff? It is a condition where white or grey flakes appear on the scalp. These are mostly dead skin that is accumulated together on the scalp because of excess oil or sebum production. Though they are harmless but they are very irritating at the same point.

One can use anti dandruff shampoo for coloured hair (there are separate shampoos available for that) in order to remove those flakes from their stylish strands. But before that, one has to be aware about what are the major reasons that cause dandruff.

·       Seborrhoea dermatitis is one such reason. This is a skin condition which can be caused by the formation of Malassezia or a yeast that happens because of oily scalp. It can cause itchy scalp, scaly patches and stubborn dandruffs. One has to cleanse it well on a regular basis to get rid of it.

·     Dry skin is another cause of dandruff formation. The chances of dead skin turning into flakes in quite common. It makes the scalp peeling and this mostly happens during winter or in any harsh climatic condition.

·     If one has other skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis then they are prone to frequent dandruff attacks. This can be treated with proper medication or application of ointments and medicated shampoos.

·       If one does not maintain proper hygiene in their scalp then also dandruff can happen. Not shampooing the scalp at a regular interval can lead to accumulation of dirt and dead skin cells. This can affect the scalp. It causes excessive irritation, unnecessary sweating and more. 

     Here are some effective home remedies that one can try to remove dandruffs:

Apple Cider Vinegar

This is used in order to restore the lost pH balance of the scalp. ACV can inhibit the growth of the yeast and can work as a regular cleanser of natural hair. It can unclog the pores and hair follicles. One can mix a cup of ACV with a cup of water and rinse the hair with it after shampooing. Let it sit for 2 minutes and then wash it off.

Coconut Oil and Lemon

Lemon juice can do wonders of dandruffs. It has anti fungal properties. On other hand, coconut oil can moisturize the dry scalp and controls the itchiness. One can mix them both and massage the hair and scalp with it. Let it sit for 40 minutes and wash it off with a mild shampoo.

If one has coloured hair then they can always go for a good anti dandruff shampoo for coloured hair. They must remember the fact that if they use any other shampoos then it can strip off the colour from the hair and make it look dry
