Answer 1

*Dandruff Shampoos

Choose an anti-dandruff shampoo that contains coal tar, salicylic acid, pyrithione zinc, sulfur or selenium sulfide, says Dr. Patricia Farris Walters.


Each ingredient reduces dandruff in a different way. The tar-based shampoos slow cell production, while salicylic acid-based shampoos slough off dead cells before they clump. And both shampoos have anti-fungal properties and help fight invading yeast microbes, which is one of dandruff’s most persistent triggers. Pyrithione zinc and selenium sulfide reduce cell turnover, while sulfur is believed to cause slight skin irritation — just enough to lead to the shedding of flakes.

Some shampoos on the market contain more than one ingredient, says Dr. Walters. Trial and error is the only way to sort out which one will work for you.

When you wash your hair, lather once, rinse, lather a second time and really rub your scalp as you shampoo. Let the shampoo sit on your head for at least five minutes, and rinse well.

*Naturopathy

Self-help: Yogurt is recommended as a hair conditioner. Wash and rinse the hair, then rub yogurt into the scalp, and leave for 10-15 minutes. Rinse, then wash again, using as little shampoo as necessary. An infusion of thyme, nettle or sage with 2 tablespoons of vinegar can be used as a final rinse. (To make an infusion, fresh or dried herbs can be used in loose or tea-bag form. Warm a teapot and put in 1 dessertspoon of herb for each cup required. Pour in a cup of boiling water for each cup of tea; allow to steep for 10-15 minutes.)

Consultation: A practitioner will tell you that dandruff may indicate poisons in the system or nutritional deficiencies and imbalances in levels of minerals and/or trace elements. He will recommend a diet of plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables, whole grains and wheat germ, vegetable oils and high-protein food, such as lean meat and nuts. To be avoided are: sugar and starch products, alcohol, and fatty or highly spiced foods.

*Homeopathy

There are a number of specific homeopathic remedies available to treat dandruff, and many of them are very effective. Experimentation with the following remedies may provide the solution, or seek a homeopath’s advice: Arsenicum, sepia, sulfur, mezereum, fluoric ac., graphites, oleander and nartrum mur.

*Herbal Medicine

A South African herbal treatment for dandruff is a paste made by mixing borax with an infusion in boiling water of the fresh roots of the wild scabious (or ‘pincushion’), a common veld flower in midsummer. Rub the paste into the scalp once a week. For a scalp massage after shampooing, use infusions of rosemary or lavender.

*Aromatherapy

Mix essential oils of cedarwood (seven drops) cypress and juniper (each ten drops) in 50ml of carrier oil. Rub well into the scalp and leave for one hour. To remove, rub neat, mild shampoo into the hair, then wash out with warm water.

To keep dandruff at bay, use the same quantities of the oils in 600ml of warm water. Stir well and use as a final rinse.

*Kinesiology

A kinesiologist may suggest tea tree oil, hair and scalp care, selenium shampoo and vitamin A to be taken orally.

you may have PSORAiSiS...i was born with it....TERRiBLY DRY and cracked scalp!



i would definitely make an appt. with a dermatologist...because i used to use over the counter tar shampoo, T-Gel, Head & Shoulders...and that was only making my scalp worse..the doctors said..which was true! A lot of the ingredients in those over-the-counter treatments just make a severely dry scalp even DRiER!! DO NOT use them! trust me!



i went to my dermatologist and they recommended "DERMOSMOOTH" or something like that...it's this like peanut-oil stuff...and it wORKS wonders!...my hair used to come out in clumps too..because the dry skin builds up and the hair gets dried out because it can't get the natural oils from your scalp. so yeah...this Dermasmooth stuff is amaZinG!




" DermaSmooth
If everything fails, this is probably your last resort. DermaSmooth is a type of corticosteroid. It is formulated with Fluocinolone Acetonide (0.01%), Isopropyl Alcohol (1.6%) in a base containing Peanut Oil, Mineral Oil, Isopropyl Myristate, Oleth-2 and Balsam Pine. This topical lotion feels exactly like oil and it is only recommended for night time application. DermaSmooth is specially formulated for stubborn inflammatory conditions such as scalp psoriasis. It is also extremely effective against the formation of crusts and flakes on your scalp. People should see a substantial reduction in crusts and scales after 2 - 3 treatments. According to the manufacturer, clinical studies showed that 83% of the patients experienced 50% - 100% improvement within 3 weeks. The peanut oil in DermaSmooth seeps between crusts and scales and softens them until they fall off, allowing the topical steroid to reach the diseased scalp. It is recommended that you wet your hair and scalp thoroughly between using DermaSmooth. "
