How to keep your head free from Dandruff

D – A – N – D – R – U – F – F, a minor issue that can cause social or self-esteem problem unintentionally. If you have walk or come to a place where you saw a small piece of white thing, your mood may have been spoil. And it may even make you have low self-esteem if you find that you have such issue. You may be less confidence and do not meet people so often as you are worrying whether other people will saw it. Thanks to the advance technological field in medical, we do infact have ways to treat it which will be explain later in this article.

When a new cell is born in our body, it will start to replace our existing old cell, which is dead. And to do this, the cells, which were generated, will push up and consequently, the oldest cells skin will be shed of. The similar thing happens to our scalp skin. In fact, it was doing it in a healthy level and we rarely notice about it. Once it become excessive, we call this as “Dandruff” or “Scurf”. Dandruff or Surf is nothing more than excessive shedding of dead skin cells from our scalp. How do you know you are having dandruff issue? That is when you saw some white skin on scalp and in person hair, when your hair has oily looking and when your head feel itching, sore. But it seem that it was not cause by poor hygiene.

There are also a variety of issues that can cause dandruff. For one, it may be caused by a frequent exposure to extreme heat and cold. It may also come from not enough hair brushing where hair brushing alone helps the shedding skin. It may also come from yeast as people who are sensitive to yeast have higher risk to dandruff. People with dry skin or oily skin may also tend to get dandruff. People who have Parkinson disease or infected HIV are likely to have dandruff. It may also cause by malassezia, a fungus that live on everybody scalp. Or perhaps it was merely a symptom of mental stress which the person are currently encountering in the person life or the person may have inadequate of zinc and vitamin B in their body. It may also because the person is sensitive to certain hair/skin care products or perhaps the person are shampooing too frequently.

To treat the dandruff issue, one has to look at the age factor and the severity of the dandruff. But regardless of what, the main aim is to stop the dandruff by slowing down the reproduction of skin cells. The simplest way is to get an anti-dandruff shampoo, as shampoo is widely available in any store and pharmacy. You can treat it by regularly shampooing. The more effective way are that you should try removing any scaly or crusty patches on your scalp first. And do make sure that when you are shampooing, do let the shampoo has time to stay on your scalp perhaps for 5 minutes before you rinse it off.
