How To Deal With Dandruff
Some are of the opinion that at the early stages
of hair loss, dandruff begins to increase. However, an increase
in the amount of dandruff does not necessarily mean that there
is a "cause-effect" relationship resulting in the
thinning of hair.
You should think of excessive dandruff as a warning sign as
far as the health of the hair is concerned.
Dandruff is made up of bits of dead skin that
peel away from the scalp as a result of the effects of metabolism.
Normally, dandruff, in its early stages of growth, is not visible
to the naked eye. It becomes visible only after enlarging into
pieces of dead skin (what we normally call "dandruff")
as a result of the propagation of bacteria and/or problems with
seborrhoeic scalp conditions.
Persons suffering from prolonged dandruff are
said to have a dandruff ailment. This type of ailment, accompanied
by itchiness, can lead to eczema if it worsens. Suppressing
the propagation of bacteria is one means of dealing with fatty
dandruff. This is because bacteria is one of the causes of this
condition.
If possible, try to shampoo on a daily basis
to prevent bacterial propagation. One effective means of dealing
with dandruff is to disinfect the scalp area with commercially
available medicated shampoos specifically designed for dandruff
removal. However, daily shampooing can lead to eczema for persons
who suffer from dry scalps. Shampooing once every three days
may be ideal for such persons.
Persons who suffer from persistent, hard-to-cure
dandruff are urged to consult a skin specialist.
