Healthy Hair Look Great On You

Hi Folks,

The texture and look of our hair makes lots of difference to our appearance. Even if we look good and young but our hair is dull and problematic, it will add a few more years to our look. One common problem of our hair is dandruff.

Dandruff causes your scalp to shed white skin flakes in your hair and on your shoulder which can cause irritation and embarrassment. In serious case, hair loss may result. Hence if you have lots of dandruff, you should take action to check on the health condition of your scalp and hair.

Our skin cells on the scalp are constantly renewing as old cells get pushed to the surface by new ones. When this process goes into overdrive or fails to be as effective as it should be, seborrhoeic dermatitis or dandruff is the result. Excess sebum causes our scalp to be scaly and the skin cells to shed and collect in clumps. Dandruff becomes visible as a result of bacteria growth which may needs medical care and attention but mild cases can be treated by using an anti dandruff shampoo or applying home remedies which is my pleasure to highlight here:-

· Use an anti-dandruff shampoo containing effective ingredients like selenium sulfide, which has been scientifically proven to treat cause of dandruff. The other alternative which is my favorite is a brand known as Nizoral commonly sold in pharmacy. Use it on alternate day and you will be relieved of the itching, flaking and scaling of your scalp

· When you are shampooing, gently massage scalp with your fingertips to help loosen scales and flakes. Avoid scratching as this will cause sores that are worse than dandruff

· If you are using conditioner, avoid your scalp area and concentrate on your hair roots instead

· Boil 5 teaspoons of dried used tea leaves in lime water, and use it as a final rinse to help eliminate dandruff formation

· Give your hair a hot steam bath. Massage in hot olive oil with a hot damp towel and leave towel wrapped around your head for the steam to help fight dandruff problem. Wrapping your hair in hot towel soften texture of your hair too!

· A little sun exposure is good for controlling dandruff as direct ultraviolet light has an anti-inflammatory effect on scaly skin conditions

· Stress and hormone imbalance cause dandruff. Hence if you are facing these problem, seek professional advice

My last advice is sufficient sleep and rest which not only improve your hair condition but your alertness and on long term you will look younger!

To your beauty success,

Janice H.
