Dandruff is a scalp disease that is associated with impaired cell renewal, which causes an excessive amount of dead scales that remain on the hair and look like white flakes. The disease occurs in every person between the ages of twelve to fifty. Since the age of twelve, the production of sebum increases, and dandruff occurs quite often. After fifty, the disease is less common, because with age, the amount of sebum becomes less.
Getting rid of dandruff really can only provide shampoos, and not cosmetic, advertising can often be heard on TV. The correct shampoo against dandruff contains ketoconazole (a substance that fights well against a fungal infection) and Sodium laureth sulfate (often referred to as sodium lauryl ether sulfate). If you choose the wrong shampoo against dandruff, then it can not neutralize the fungus, but only create the appearance of a lack of scales for a couple of hours or days, and then the disease will seem again. Shampoos against dandruff are better to choose not independently, and to consult with the doctor-trichologist.
To finally get rid of dandruff, you need to pick not only the correct, healing shampoo, but also take the B vitamins and try to eat more correct, healthy food. Because in the fight against the disease you need to use complex treatment. In addition to sebum, the cause of dandruff can be stress, hard water and a lack of vitamins.
There are a number of recommendations that will help you. For example, if you wash your hair often, dandruff will appear less often. And in the case when the therapeutic shampoo does not help, you can try tar tar shampoos, they need to be applied to the scalp for five to ten minutes, and then washed off. It is important to hold the shampoo against dandruff on your head, and do not wash it off immediately. You do not need to use a special tool every time, you need to give your hair a rest and wash your hair with a normal shampoo. In order to increase the effect of the remedy, you can put a cap on your hair and hold it as a mask for an hour. It will also be helped by soaping the hair with shampoo twice, and massage the head with a remedy. As a rinse, for those who suffer from dandruff, you can use a decoction of thyme (in the proportion of 2 tablespoons of thyme per glass of water). In order to soften and smooth out the scales of hair, you can apply a warm, vegetable oil as a mask before washing your hair. If you are more likely to be in the sun, then ultraviolet will act on the skin as anti-inflammatory, but do not overdo it, and stay in the open sun for longer than an hour. And try to be less nervous, because it can provoke a worsening of the scalp.
