Having dandruff fallen on your dark colored outfit can cause a lot of embarrassment. Yet this is a situation many of us have been in. What and how can we control dandruff?
Dandruff is the flaking of the scalp. Shedding dead skin cells from the scalp is a part of the normal process, but becomes a problem when it happens excessively. Though a complete cure may not be possible it can be controlled with proper care.
The cause for dandruff vary from dry skin, oily scalp, psoriasis, allergic reaction to shampoos and other hair care products to a poor diet.
A mild case of dandruff can be treated by regularly shampooing the hair. If your regular shampoo does not work you can select a medicated shampoo, you may have to experiment with a few until you find one that suits you.
If you want to cut down on the chemical use of medicated shampoos, try applying a paste of fenugreek seeds and lemon juice, leave for half and hour and rinse.
Avoid using hair styling products as much as possible.
