Dandruff is a form of dermatitis — a skin condition marked by irritation, itching, and flaking skin. Dandruff presents itself as a dry scalp and itchy head, accompanied by continuously shedding skin. Dandruff can result from several causes. Poorly hydrated skin, clinical eczema, and excessively oily skin can all bring on dandruff. Dry weather often plays a significant role in causing or perpetuating the scalp condition.
First and foremost, dandruff isn't a dangerous condition. It can be supremely uncomfortable and embarrassing, but if you're experiencing it, there's no threat to you.
Several natural products can help keep dandruff at bay. If you're predisposed to getting dandruff — for instance, having excessively oily or dry skin — the condition will return if you don't take a routine, regimented approach to taking care of your scalp.
In some cases, only special treatments will help. If you try the following remedies, and none of them prove effective, try a specialized dandruff shampoo. If that doesn't work, see a dermatologist. You may need a more potent medicated shampoo to get rid of your dandruff.
Here are some home remedies that have helped others relieve themselves of the dry itchies of dandruff. With each treatment, rub into your scalp, leave sit for 5 to 10 minutes, then wash your hair with shampoo as normal:You should definitely shampoo your hair regularly when experiencing dandruff, but the frequency in which people should wash their hair is going to vary from person to person. For some, once a week is sufficient — and washing more often than that might dry the scalp out or cause issues with the hair. Some people need to wash their hair every day. This is especially true of people who experience excessively oily skin and hair. Not keeping the excess oil out promotes the production of the malassezia fungus, which will promote and aggravate dandruff.
Keep in mind, if you're experiencing surface inflammation on the scalp or breaking skin, this is a sign you might have a more serious dermatological condition. If you encounter any of these signs, make an appointment to see a doctor as soon as possible to help determine the source of the issue.
