What to Do About Dandruff
March 24, 2009
Dandruff is a fairly common problem that seems to bother some people more than others. Just like the rest of our skin, our scalp is constantly shedding bits and pieces of dead skin. Usually these pieces are so small they aren’t visible to the human eye.
Sometimes the flakes are huge; we can see them lurking between the strands of out hair. They fall from our scalp and onto our clothing, and when we run our fingers through our hair, we dislodge a snowstorm of the flakes. These large flakes of scalp are called dandruff.
Although there is no scientific research to confirm the statement, many people feel that they are more likely to develop a patch of dandruff when their hair is about to start thinning. What we do know for sure is that dandruff is our body’s way of telling us that our hair is not as healthy as it could be.
There are several things that you can do to help clear up your dandruff.
Dandruff Shampoos
Purchase shampoo that is designed to be used when you have dandruff. These shampoos usually are medicated and will help improve the overall health of your scalp. Even when you are using a dandruff shampoo, you still shouldn’t wash your hair every day. Over-washing can cause your scalp to dry out, which can actually trigger a bigger dandruff problem.
Vinegar Rinse
If you are looking for another way to clear up your most recent bout with dandruff, you might want to consider using vinegar. The next time you are in the shower, all you have to do is pour a half a cup of vinegar (either distilled white or red cider vinegar will work) over your head. Massage it into your scalp and let it sit for five minutes. When the five minutes are up, continue to wash your hair just like you always do.
Sunburn
Have you recently spent a long time out in the sun? If you have, it is possible that your dandruff is nothing more that the result of you sunburning your scalp? When this is the reason for your dandruff, it will clear up in a day or two. The only thing you will have to worry about is remembering to put on a hat the next time you go outside.
