The dead skin shed from the scalp is commonly known as dandruff. It infects our skin and causes redness and irritation. Dandruff results in lusterless, unhealthy hair, and even promotes hair fall. An itchy scalp can be embarrassing and unsightful. However, by following a few guidelines and natural hair care tips provided by beautytipshub.com you can safely use Natural Anti-Dandruff Shampoo and bid dandruff ‘goodbye’ forever!
Anti-Dandruff Shampoo
An antidandruff shampoo and antidandruff conditioner or serum, are best suited to fight dandruff in our hair. The shampoo cleans our scalp and holds back the shedding of white scales for a few days. Some of these antidandruff shampoos have a component called ‘ketoconazole’ which prevents the growth of fungus and dandruff-causing bacteria in our scalp. They also stabilize the pH level of the scalp. However, these products can be unsuitable for certain skin types, and with overuse, lead to dryness and irritation.
A few common natural or organic ingredients of an anti-dandruff shampoo
- Tea-tree oil – it is one of the most essential natural ingredients in an anti-dandruff shampoo for its anti-fungal and anti-septic qualities
- Rosemary – this is an effective anti-fungal agent
- Henna – a natural conditioner that adds bounce to your hair
- Sandal – cools and soothes the scalp and hence reducing skin irritation
- Lemon – a natural cleanser
Hair care tips against dandruff
- Massage a little olive oil into your scalp an hour before showering to moisten your scalp and reduce dryness
- Choose the shampoo that suits your hair type, one that is mild on your skin and does not remove the protective sebum from your scalp along with the dirt
- Check if you are allergic to any ingredient in the shampoo
- If your hair is oily, then the shampoo should not have a detergent base
- Leave-in conditioners may be used to moisturize the hair
- Make sure your anti-dandruff shampoo has a low pH
- It is advisable to switch brands from time to time since your scalp may become immune to a particular ingredient in a shampoo
Warning: Avoid using a natural anti-dandruff shampoo if you are allergic to any of the ingredients.
Tea tree oil may alter hormone levels, so it is best to consult a doctor before trying a natural anti dandruff shampoo.
