Tips on How to Get Rid of Dandruff
E N D
Excess growth of dandruff on your scalp can be very uncomfortable and oftentimes, an embarrassing experience that can lead to serious hair fall or damage. Needless to say, when you notice a dandruff infection getting out of hand, you should immediately try to get it under control. Luckily, dandruff has many remedies that you can put to use. Listed below are some of the easiest and most useful tips to help you learn how to get rid of dandruff permanently. Tea Tree Oil Tea tree oil is one of the most effective oils when it comes to cleaning dandruff off the scalp. It is packed with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties that directly tackle the yeast-like fungus called ‘malassezia’ that is responsible for the growth of dandruff. However, tea tree oil can induce a negative reaction if you have sensitive skin so it is best to use it with another product. For eg., mixing a few drops of oil in your shampoo or mixing tea tree oil with coconut oil before applying. Vinegar Vinegar has high levels of acid in it, which is said to help fight different types of fungus and balance the pH of your scalp. It also helps get rid of the dead skin cells on your scalp that contribute to the growth of dandruff. Revise Your Diet Excessive consumption of unhealthy foods leads to a lot of problems including dandruff. It is best to steer clear of foods like refined carbs, processed foods, red meat, sugary beverages and more if you are prone to dandruff.
Use of Baking Soda If you are looking for an easily available and quick remedy to your dandruff problem, baking soda is a great choice. Baking soda is known as an exfoliant that gently rids your scalp of dead cells and dandruff. Ideally, you should apply baking soda to wet hair directly and allow it to sit for a couple minutes before shampooing your hair. Neem Leaves Neem is an effective antifungal and antibacterial remedy to many skin conditions. It has a soothing effect on the scalp that you can take full advantage of by applying a quick, homemade hair mask made of ground neem leaves and a tablespoon of honey. Wash Your Hair More Often Many anti dandruff shampoos in the market these days can dry out your scalp, which can lead to excess production of sebum and other oils on your scalp. This oil increases the greasiness of your scalp and makes the condition worse so it is best to wash your hair more often to regularly clean your scalp. Minimize your Stress While stress has no direct relation to dandruff growth, it sure does affect your body’s ability to fight off the fungus. High stress levels can also worsen symptoms like irritation so it is best to try and lower your stress levels.
