Hey Guys,

The weather’s changing and Mumbai is welcoming winters with open arms! Well with the changing season comes the most common hair problem ‘Dandfruff’. 🙄 SO here I am giving you my three tried and tested ways to get rid of dandruff naturally.

People with severe cases of dandruff will benefit from this, in continuation with the medicine prescribed by your trichologist. Please do not stop going to a trichologist or keep the appointment on hold as these methods will only help you over time and will not stop your dandruff completely.

The first step to get rid of dandruff is to know the cause for it.

Let us first understand the causes for dandruff:

There are several causes for dandruff in our hair; the best way to find out is going to a trichologist and getting to know the root cause. But if it is not that major an issue and just seasonal then these could be one of your root causes; who better judge than you!

1. Dry Scalp/Skin:

Yes, dry scalp often leads to flakiness and dandruff. Since our scalp is not moisturized, the skin flakes and creates dandruff. People with dry skin, their dandruff will be comparatively small and dry.

2. Not brushing your hair enough:

I have personally experienced this! Yes if you do not brush your hair enough; you are not shedding off your dead skin, which is eventually going to create dandruff in your scalp.

3. Seborrheic Dermatitis (Irritated Oily Skin):

People with this condition are very prone to dandruff. The skin also turns reddish sometimes.

4. Not Washing/Cleaning your scalp:

Ofcourse if you don’t keep your scalp clean, bacteria are going to be plotting their attacks on your scalp!

5. Washing your hair too often:

Yes this is also one of the reason for dandruff. Too much of shampooing strips off necessary moisture from our hair. Including the very important natural oils secreted from our scalp which is responsible for keeping our scalp happy and healthy.

6. Yeast Infection:

Sometimes due to extreme weathers in summers. Heat reacts with the yeast present, creating dandruff. This is mainly due to yeast allergy. These people will suffer from dandruff mainly during summers.

7. Illness:

Any other illness due which our immune system is weak with affect the health of our skin and scalp. So stay healthy!
