Dandruff occurs from poor nutrition, zinc deficiency, constipation, unhealthy scalp, fungus and yeast infection, excessive use of harsh shampoos & hair styling gels, over exposure to extreme weather conditions and stress.
Our body sheds dead skin constantly - which is normal and not usually noticeable - in order to rebuild itself. Dandruff is also a type of dead skin shedding but it becomes noticeable, when a fungus called malassezia goes haywire, thereby shedding more skin that needed, causing greasy or dry scales.
There are two types of dandruff. Dry dandruff found on dry hair types and oily dandruff found on oily hair types. Dry dandruff fall off your hair onto your eyebrows, shoulders and clothes, whenever you comb or brush your hair. In oily dandruff, the dry scales mix with your hair sebum, become thick and greasy and settle on your scalp. Although oily dandruff will not fall on your face or clothes, it will thickly coat your brush or comb whenever you comb your hair. You can decide on a suitable home remedy for dandruff, based on the type of dandruff you have.
There are several home remedies for treating dandruff. You can either try any one remedy or more than one remedy in order to increase the effective of your treatment.
Soak 2 tbsp of fenugreek seeds in a little water overnight and grind it to a fine paste the next morning. (Save the water used for soaking the seeds as a final rinse for your hair. Alternatively, soak a cotton ball into the water and apply it to your scalp after shampooing and drying your hair). Apply the paste in your scalp and leave it for ½ hour. Wash your hair well with herbal shampoo, preferably of soap-nut or acacia concinna. This is a good remedy for dry dandruff and should be done twice a week for first two weeks, reducing it to once a week for the next two weeks and then once in two weeks for next month or so.
You can try any one or more of the above remedies for treating dandruff, but remember, you need to be patient. Each one of these remedies will take at 3 months before they start showing results. So, it is important to persist with the treatment and not give up half way. I will post an article on some important do’s and don’t’s about maintaining a dandruff free hair.
