It is harmless but leads to embarrassment when those white flakes appear on your Beautiful Black dress or a Handsome Tuxedo in which you prepare yourself to steal the show.
Dandruff or flakes may appear on your scalp because of following:
  • Dry Scalp: Excessive dryness in the scalp can be a cause of dandruff as the essential oils help in the nourishment of scalp and keep it healthy.
  • Eczema: A skin disease which causes redness on the skin which leads to dry flakes to appear and itchiness.
  • Psoriasis: It is an adverse condition in which a patch of skin gets red and then covered by silver scales.
  • Seborrhoeic Dermatitis: It is an infection caused by the overgrowth of yeast on the skin which causes face, scalp and other body parts to become red and itchy.
  • Product Buildup: Excessive use of styling products like conditioners, gels, serums, pomades, hair wax or sprays can cause them to build-up on your scalp. This combine with dead skin cells to produce flakes and itchiness.
It is not a herculean task to eradicate or prevent it. For curing dandruff one can follow these below-mentioned remedies:
  • Shikakai: It is a natural ingredient used along with Awla and reetha to prevent and cure dandruff. It also enhances hair growth along with giving silky and good smelling hair.
  • Curd or Yogurt: Curd and lemon’s combination is ideal for removing dandruff. These are easily available and can be kept for 30 minutes after massaging gently on the scalp and rinse with a mild shampoo for effective results.
  • Apple Cider Vinegar: Apple cider vinegar as a dandruff remedy, as the acidity of apple cider vinegar changes the pH of your scalp, making it harder for the yeast to grow. Mix a cup of apple cider vinegar with cup water in a spray bottle and massage on your scalp. Keep it for 15 minutes to an hour, and then wash your hair as usual.
  • Tea tree Oil: Tea tree oil has anti-fungal nutrients in it which fights with dandruff and can help in eradicating it completely. Use virgin tea tree oil with your regular mild shampoo to see results.
  • Alovera: Alovera just not only helps in the prevention of dandruff but also fights with the itchiness that dandruff brings with it. Simply applying a fresh aloe vera leaf’s juice helps in cooling of the scalp and nourishes hair as well.
