HAIR CARE - DANDRUFF

Dandruff occurs due to an imbalance between cell regeneration and cell shedding, with a bias towards the cell shedding is the term given to the extensive scaling of the scalp, which sometimes extends itself to the eyebrows and is diagnosed by the flaking which takes place, which are visible as white particles called dandruff.

There are 3 to 4 main reasons for dandruff:
1) Lack of scalp conditioning;
2) Severe stress;
3) Continuously working under the arc lights;
4) Allergy to cosmetics;
5) Infrequent shampooing of the hair.

Symptoms of Dandruff:

The most common symptom of dandruff is scaling; itching is occasionally present. The small white flakes are usually scattered over the hair shaft and shoulders by scratching, brushing or combing. Infrequent washing of the scalp causes theses flakes to stick to the hair shaft.

Stages of dandruff:

There are three likely stages of dandruff:
1) The condition may remain as a minor irritation throughout the     person's life.
2) As a result of the patchy scaling, the scalp reacts to the     scruff, by secreting a fluid, which causes the scales to stick to     the scalp and have a yellowish and waxy appearance.
3) The condition may spread to the adjacent areas of the head -     midline of the head, and to the front of the chest and back.

Treatment for dandruff:

The best way to get treated for dandruff is to oil your hair, at least 3 times a week, and wash your hair with a good anti-dandruff shampoo once a week and a mild shampoo twice a week. Remember, an anti-dandruff shampoo if used too often, flips the hair of its natural oil. If the dandruff does not clear, it is better to consult a Trichologist, who will determine the stage in which the dandruff has reached and prescribe the necessary course of action.
