Tea tree oil is effective but you have to mix it with other solution so it won’t damage your scalp.

So while it probably won’t cure dandruff, it will help itching for sure and may give temporary relief from it. Certainly won’t hurt at all. If you’re using henna to cover greys, make sure you’re using 100% pure body art quality henna for the most dye coverage.

2) cut out sugar from my diet

]]>https://forum.kiasuparents.com/post/1899802https://forum.kiasuparents.com/post/1899802Mon, 25 Feb 2019 13:30:56 GMTWell the reason for dandruff is over production of the skin due to over production of the sebum oil. This happens due to hormonal imbalance of the body. I too had sever condition of dandruff and some how I could control it.

Thing what I did
1) Ditched milk
2) Ditched sugar
3) Taking zinc supplement (Zincovit) , omega3
4) Minimized yeast in take.
This is based on my personal experience . Hope this will help you

You feel awkward and start to have self-esteem issues. You need to go to your skin specialist and get an ointment for it. It won’t go away just by shampooing. Trust me, I have tried.

I tried EVERYTHING, Head and Shoulders, Tar shampoo’s, lotions, even sat with stinky apple cider vinegar on my head. (man did it smell!) I had enough and finally went to my dermatologist. This remedy works!!!


Rub mineral oil in to your scalp.
heat a towel in the dryer or microwave (i heat mine for 40 second 3 times in a row just so there isn’t a fire)
wrap it on your head for 20 min then wash it out (it takes a few washes but it does come out)
You will notice a difference, I promise. They also sell something called P & S liquid. it is over the counter but you have to ask the pharmacist for it. Just follow the directions on the bottle and it should work for ya.

It makes a person feel shy to go public. I would advise you to go to a skin specialist and see if you have more than dandruff. Many people get fungus infection because of using dirty towels and combs.

Then I tried adding Rosemary essential oil to my regular shampoo for less than 1 week my dandruff problem solved. Scalp feels cleaner after each used. No more itch Nor awkward moments whereby I avoided wearing dark clothings as not to see those ‘snow’ flakes on my dark clothings.

When the natural balance in the metabolic process is upset, the new cells form faster than the old cells can be shed off. These then accumulate on the scalp in the form of flakes. The following natural remedies can be used for dandruff.

Fenugreek Seeds
Lime
Beet
Snake Gourd
The juice of snake gourd is also used in the prevention and treatment of dandruff. The juice should be rubbed over the scalp for this purpose.

]]>https://forum.kiasuparents.com/post/1740975https://forum.kiasuparents.com/post/1740975Mon, 19 Dec 2016 13:08:05 GMTI used to have quite severe dandruffs before but I think prevention matters more than cure. There are actually several causes of dandruff (I took note of this to prevent the outbreak and I didnt have dandruff anymore).


Dandruff can have several causes, including:

1) Irritated, oily skin (seborrheic dermatitis). This condition, one of the most frequent causes of dandruff, is marked by red, greasy skin covered with flaky white or yellow scales. Seborrheic dermatitis may affect your scalp and other areas rich in oil glands, such as your eyebrows, the sides of your nose and the backs of your ears, your breastbone (sternum), your groin area, and sometimes your armpits.

2) Not shampooing often enough. If you don't regularly wash your hair, oils and skin cells from your scalp can build up, causing dandruff.

3) A yeastlike fungus (malassezia). Malassezia lives on the scalps of most adults. But, for some, it irritates the scalp and can cause more skin cells to grow.

The extra skin cells die and fall off, making them appear white and flaky in your hair or on your clothes. Why malassezia irritates some scalps isn't known.

4) Dry skin. Flakes from dry skin are generally smaller and less oily than those from other causes of dandruff. And, redness or inflammation is unlikely. You'll probably have dry skin on other parts of the body, such as your legs and arms, too.
Sensitivity to hair care products (contact dermatitis). Sometimes sensitivities to certain ingredients in hair care products or hair dyes can cause a red, itchy, scaly scalp.

Mine was due to stress and oily scalp which increases the urge for me to scatch. From then on, I'll ensure that I was my hair everytime I'm out sweating or after using hair oil/creams when going out.

Here are some of the recommended shampoos for dandruff: http://www.totalbeauty.com/content/gallery/best-dandruff-shampoos

Dandruff shampoos are classified according to the medication they contain:

1) Pyrithione zinc shampoos (such as Head & Shoulders, Jason Dandruff Relief 2 in 1). These contain the antibacterial and antifungal agent zinc pyrithione. This type of shampoo can reduce the fungus on your scalp that can cause dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis.

2) Tar-based shampoos (such as Neutrogena T/Gel). Coal tar, a byproduct of the coal manufacturing process, helps conditions such as dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis and psoriasis. It slows how quickly skin cells on your scalp die and flake off. If you have light-colored hair, this type of shampoo may cause discoloration.

3) Shampoos containing salicylic acid (such as Neutrogena T/Sal). These \"scalp scrubs\" help eliminate scale, but they may leave your scalp dry, leading to more flaking. Using a conditioner after shampooing can help relieve dryness.
Selenium sulfide shampoos (such as Selsun Blue). These shampoos slow your skin cells from dying and may also reduce malassezia. Because they can discolor blond, gray or chemically colored hair, be sure to use them only as directed, and rinse well after shampooing.

4) Ketoconazole shampoos (such as Nizoral). Ketoconazole is a broad-spectrum antifungal agent that may work when other shampoos fail. It's available over-the-counter as well as by prescription.

Alternative medicine: Small studies have found that tea tree oil can reduce dandruff
