If you've ever wondered what all that white stuff coming off your
head is, it’s not a major weather system, it is just dandruff! I’m here to give you a list of home remedies
for dandruff (not scientifically tested); if your dandruff is serious and is
not alleviated by these treatments, see a dermatologist.
Wash your
hair regularly but not obsessively. Dandruff is caused when your
scalp sheds dead skin cells. It is not caused by hair itself. A dermatologist
recommends that washing your hair every day with a dandruff shampoo will help
to reduce the flakes. And after then
continue washing your hair with anti-dandruff shampoo 2-3 per week. Mind you, excessive shampooing, especially
with harsh chemicals, can irritate the scalp and dry it out, causing more
dandruff.
Give your
dandruff shampoo time to work. If you choose to wash your hair with
dandruff shampoo, leave the shampoo in for at least 5 minutes before you wash
it off. This will give the shampoo time to work; then rinse your hair with
lemon juice, a conditioner to get rid of any lingering odor from the shampoo.
Using a hair conditioner after washing with any anti-dandruff shampoo helps to
soften the hair and makes it more manageable. Many of these anti-dandruff
shampoos contribute to dry scalp and can add to flaking, but with a conditioner
it can seal nourishing moisture.
Using
Henna to Cure Dandruff.
Henna has been widely
used for many years for its beneficial properties. It can also be used to get
rid of the stubborn dandruff. Since Henna can dry out your hair, avoid
using it too frequently. Henna is anti-fungal, can be effective
against psoriasis (condition which occurs when skin grows out quickly), and can
strengthen skin. Many people who have
itching, flaking scalps after dying with chemical dyes, and are developing an
allergy to chemicals, can use Henna as an alternative. Henna can also be used to dye hair instead of
chemicals, and can restore healthy hair and skin. Using Henna
to cure head lice, ringworm, or dandruff, will give your hair a smooth, full,
shiny and silky look.
Preparing Henna for your hair
What you need:
Grinded henna leaf
Juice of a lime
Yogurt (as per the consistency
you prefer)
Mix the henna powder with the juice of a lime and add curd to it.
Mix well to avoid lumps. Make a smooth paste that does not drip. Apply this
henna paste on the hair from roots to the tips. Keep the pack on for 30 minutes
and wash off with a mild shampoo.
To help
prevent dandruff, brush your hair after you shower and shampoo. Brushing
your hair will help distribute the oil that is naturally occurring in your
scalp and hair over the entire surface of your head. Brush outward beginning
from your scalp to help distribute oil from the scalp along your entire head.
Avoid stress
and stressful situations.
Stress can cause dandruff, so try to
exercise your stress away or deal with your stress in other healthy, effective
ways.
Eat
healthily. What you put into your body has an impact on what your body
responds to. An excess of unhealthy foods (fast food, sugary foods, etc.) will
often result in skin, scalp and hair problems.
