How to get rid of dandruff?

“A friend of mine struggled with dandruff for several years. What only she did not undertake to get rid of this disease. She went through all sorts of studies, and sat on special diets, and cleaned her liver in various ways, and ate “medical land”. You can't even talk about shampoos. As a result, dandruff disappeared somehow so imperceptibly after applying one of the medicated shampoos. Moreover, she washed their heads on autopilot: because it was necessary. Yes, somehow gradually everything returned to normal, she herself did not even notice. And now she is surprised: after all, how many methods have been tried, I thought that the problem was inside the body. And then another shampoo suddenly helped ... "

This is such an incredible story. So why are many women looking for the cause of dandruff and for years they cannot get rid of this unpleasant phenomenon, first of all for themselves: constant itching is annoying, and “white” shoulders from dandruff cause embarrassment. Probably, there is no one magic recipe for everyone, because there can be at least several reasons for the appearance of white cups: these are hormonal disorders, shampoo that is not suitable for your hair type (by the way, this happens very often), and poor ecology, and stress, in general, any unfavorable factors.

The influence of the above conditional “provocateurs” activates the skin fungus, which may also be present on healthy skin, but, so to speak, in a “dormant” state. Just under the influence of one or another “catalyst”, the processes are accelerated and a lot of exfoliating scales (not yet dead cells) appear on the scalp. By the way, oily hair is most prone to dandruff. Therefore, for different types of hair, you need to select the appropriate products.

Hair care should include both shampoos and masks that prevent dandruff. Make sure that the detergents contain the following elements: selenium, zinc, tar or sulfur. Also adjust your diet so that the foods you consume contain vitamin B6 (it is found in walnuts, bananas, carrots, fish), vitamin PP (present in cabbage, dates, peanuts, liver).

Try different dandruff shampoos (they work on both the causes of dandruff and the symptoms). If one shampoo doesn't work, try another. Just don't overdo it. The optimal period of application is a month. It should also be noted that the ineffectiveness of the shampoo (if it does not help you) may also be due to the presence of a skin disease. Therefore, in this situation, it makes sense to consult a doctor.

Folk remedies for dandruff

For oily hair:
Nettle tincture is rubbed into the scalp after washing. A pinch of dry nettle leaves in a glass of boiling water. Let it brew for an hour and a half. After rubbing, cover the head with a cap from a plastic bag. Wait half an hour, do not rinse. Frequency twice a week. Or wipe the scalp with a cotton swab dipped in such a decoction.

According to the same scheme, you can use a decoction of calendula flowers.

For dry hair:
Masks for dry hair are made before washing. The recommended method is a mixture of two egg yolks with lemon juice and a few drops of oil (castor, olive or burdock).
