  • Explore the head-scratching problem of dandruff, and find out why it happens, and how it can be treated.
    --
    On top of our heads, there is a type of yeast that lives and dines on all of our scalps. Feasting constantly, it’s in paradise. And in about half of the human population, its activity causes dandruff. So, why do some people have more dandruff than others? And how can it be treated? Thomas L. Dawson explores this head-scratching problem.

    Ultimate routine for good hair and preventing hair fall and dandruff. 1. Scalp massage 2. Brushing using a neem wood comb 3. Don't opt for tight hairstyles 4. Avoid too much heat styling 5. Sun protection 6. Keep yourself hydrated 7. Healthy diet 8. Proper sleep 9. Deep conditioning treatment. After oiling, wrap your hair in a warm towel for sometime 10. Applying warm oil on the hair and frequent cleansing with herbal oil and shampoo cleanser from littleextrra cocoonioon 11. Yoga poses with inverted positions that help blood circulation and boost the hair follicles.

      If you have problems with dandruff, use Nizoral, it works really well. I had a dandruff problem that was so bad I was losing clumps of my hair daily. I used Nizoral and my hair stopped flaking after three weeks, I still use it regularly to prevent relapse and have never even had dandruff again. I hope this helps

    I had dandruff til 16. Then i started eating well (before mostly junk food. From then started eating more fruit vegetables, therefore introducing vitamins fibers and minerals, and cutting some sugar). Dandruff disappeared (and so constipation. I used to evacuate once in 3 days, so i solved that too).
    Then, at the age of 20, during a bad anxiety/depressing period of my life, dandruff started again.
    This is my experience.
    Eating well solved my dandruff first time.
    If you have this problem, and eat not well (mostly unhealthy like i did) you cam try a better diet (also for havimg a better health in general)

      I agree, the last 2 months i started eating healthy food and lifting weights with cardio, dandruff started going away and in just 1-2 weeks, it stopped . but then i got depressed again and started eating sugary snacks.
      in just ONE day dandruff returned. :))))))))))
      it is mostly the food we put in our system. sometimes you think you're eating healthy but you're not. also it is most likely your body is lacking some of the nutrition it needs

  • @kenyapope952

    Thanks for the animated video.I've suffered many years with dandruff & other scalp issues.I still deal with dandruff,but much less.I read somewhere,that junk foods contribute to dandruff.I read that a lack of water,can make dandruff worst! I believe that a poor diet,can also make dandruff worst.I push myself to drink more water.I have yet to drink as much water,as I need.I'll have to think of sneeky ways,to get myself,to consume more water.Washing hair with hot water,may cause more dandruff.I say,that a balanced diet/life is the answer.If you see a bit of dandruff,nip it in the bud.

    Is it me or everyone also, when I tend to use let’s say shampoo a for the first time, it reduces the dandruff, but when I continue to use it- it doesn’t work. When switching to another shampoo the first time it helps and then doesn’t work after the next try.

    I've always heard that consuming too much protein makes it worse. I have hereditary seborrheic dermatitis and if I don't stay on top of it will drive me crazy. When I was a little boy I had it pretty bad and we didn't know what it was, once I went into the army and had my head shaved I got it under control.

    Fellow people who don't have greasy hair, but often get dry scalp: do NOT use Head and Shoulders. Its intention is to remove dandruff, but not for dry scalp dandruff. You'll have an even drier scalp which will cause much more shedding. Instead look for more natural products like Aussie or Hot Six Oil, or diluted Tea Tree oil.

    For a couple of months, my hair created dandruff. My mom says i never had dandruff before, and i know i never had, but now i have. My mom is suffering from dandruff because of a fungal disease from her childhood but, now i am suffering from that, too. I'll use some natural stuffs like homemade apple vinegar with water and a little baking soda. I don't use shampoo because that caused a lot of hair loss, so i am using natural Laurel soap, and a spray made of cloves tea. I thought that caused dandruff but now i learned what can cause that. Thank you

  • @GiveMeCoffee
    @GiveMeCoffee 2 роки тому +4507

    My 5cents for those with seborrheic dermatitis and frizzy hair:
    - Use warm or cold water, hot water can irritate the scalp and it opens your hair cuticles (it will dehydrate and look frizzy)
    - Leave the shampoo work for at least a couple minutes, meanwhile it is important to massage the scalp to stimulate blood flow (which is why it is ok to wash your scalp daily)
    - Avoid products containing silicone on your scalp!!! Many cases of dandruff are actually seborrheic dermatitis or folliculitis, and silicone will worsen them. The fewer products you apply when washing, the better.
    - Panthenol comes in many antifungal shampoos and it is enough to help condition your hair.
    - Your hair is frizzy and you can't stop using conditioner? Then use white vinegar mixed with 1/3 gallon (1L) of filtered water in a ratio of 1:7 to rinse your hair at the end and you will instantly feel how it relaxes (water with higher acidity will help close your hair cuticles and make it look smoother and less prone to breakage)
    - Damaged hair that needs treatment and dandruff? You can use 1-2 drops of argan oil (it is expensive but you only need that amount), massage the oil in your hand palms, then distribute it to your hair once it is dry without causing friction, and then use the tip of your fingers to massage the scalp.
    - And most important: let the sunshine on your scalp daily, not only you will enjoy an anti-inflammatory effect, but also has antifungal effects.

    actual tips? - Don't use head and shoulders if it doesnt work' ( I use baby shampoo ).
    - Lather your shampoo until bubbly then apply to hair gently ( ROOTS ONLY & not with your nails ).
    - Wash it off, then apply conditioner to your ends only. ( it damn helps )
    - Then wash, don't leave hair damp and don't wrap your hair with a towel please.
    -If using blow dryer try not to make it hot, cold is better ( ye, ik it takes time ).
    -If using a comb afterwards then use a comb that won't make use hair hurt. ( I use a paddle brush/all purpose comb )

    Well - a lot of possibilities. Almost 20 years as a barber, so I can tell you. Some possible reasons include dry scalp, irritated scalp such as from allergies to haircare ingredients or chlorinated water. Alcohol in dry shampoo and hairspray is a typical allergy that people can develop. Not drying your hair is a very common cause. Warm wet scalp grows yeast that causes itchy scalp. Chlorinated water helps create buildup on the scalp too by forming a film. You shouldn't use harsh shampoos. Use a baby shampoo that isn't a 2-in-1... just a simple baby shampoo. It won't cause irritation and it will leave hair squeaky clean and get rid of build up without over drying. Very gentle, very effective, and inexpensive. Try to filter water. Dry your hair as much and as often as possible. Avoid putting conditioner on your scalp. Just on the last 3rd or so of your hair (ends).

When I found out that I have this terrible disease i have taken my shower with a regular shampoo not thinking about it.After one week it started spreading on my face. Since then I'm fighting with this embarrassing disease. I used more than 10 anti dandruff shampoos.

    I had dandruff (dry scalp) in Colorado for 18 years. Tried everything including tea tree oil, coconut oil, Selsun Blue, etc. Recently moved to Arizona and it completely went away without using anything. I love the desert even more now!
