Dandruff

An annoying evil: dandruff trickles from the hair and visibly settle on the clothing. Dandruffs are just uncomfortable and show a scalp that is out of balance. Dandruff can have quite harmless causes or be accompanying symptoms of a skin disease. Many people suffer from dandruff, are ashamed of it and barely dare to join people. In most cases you can get rid of dandruff very quickly. The market offers countless products against dandruff, but which one is right for you?

How do dandruff actually develop?

Typical of increased dandruff is an itchy scalp. Dry dandruff often results from dehydration of the scalp due to dry heating air, improper care, heat or frequent blow-drying. The skin disease psoriasis can also be a cause. Also, increased sebum production may favor dandruff. These scales are then usually yellowish and greasy and larger than dry dandruff. An inflamed scalp promotes dandruff considerably.

Basically, a small dandruff is normal. The epidermis, the uppermost layer of the skin, consists of skin cells arranged in several layers. These skin cells are formed in the lowest layer, cornify within about 4 weeks more and are then repelled on the skin surface. Therefore, every human has dandruff and as long as this process moves within the normal range, dandruff is not visible to the eye. However, when the scalp becomes unbalanced, dandruff grows larger and more so that they are also clearly visible.

Causes of dandruff

The increased dandruff can have many causes. Eczema, contact allergies, stress, hormone fluctuations and hereditary predisposition are just a few of the causes of dandruff. Normally, dandruff can be eliminated quickly with proper hair care. However, if the dandruff does not become less by switching to a mild, nourishing shampoo, you should consult a dermatologist.

Often there is not necessarily a bad skin disease behind it, but a combination of stress, the weather, the wrong hair care and frequent styling with heat.

Even the simplest things can help to quickly get a grip on the dandruff problem. If you've recently tried a new shampoo and have been causing increased dandruff since then, you should skip this shampoo first. It is better to use a mild cleansing shampoo to protect the scalp. Above all, you should not wash your hair every day. Since this destroys the natural acid mantle of the skin and the scalp is hardly protected against inflammation and fungi. Even when shampooing you can fight dandruff with the right approach. If you thoroughly brush your hair before washing , including the scalp, loose skin scales will be loosened gently.

Now rinse the hair and scalp with medium warm water and apply an approximately walnut-sized amount (depending on hair length and hair density) on the scalp and on the approach. Leave out lengths and tips. Massage the shampoo gently all over the scalp with the fingertips, not the fingernails. The lengths and tips of the hair are completely omitted, as this would dry out the hair even more. Rinse the shampoo thoroughly with medium warm water. Now apply a nourishing, mild conditioner in the lengths and tips, not on the scalp. As a result, the scalp is spared, but the lengths maintained with nutrients. Make sure that the conditioner is also completely rinsed out and that no residues remain in the hair. Now gently dab the hair and scalp with a towel, never rubbing with the towel. This favors dandruff and also hair breakage is often a result of excessive rubbing with the towel. Add a high quality hair oil in the lengths and tips and wrap the hair again for 20-30 min. in the towel. So excess water can simply be absorbed by the towel. It's best to let your hair air dry. Because even blow dry air favors the formation of dandruff. After 1-2 weeks with this procedure, you should notice a significant improvement.
