i have oily hair...and it causes dandruff...what can i do?

Answer 1

Dandruff is the most common problem. It is an exaggeration of the scaling process by which the skin renews itself. It is just the waste material through the pores of the scalp.

Oily dandruff occurs most likely among adolescents and adults with an excessive oily skin and scalp.

There are number of reasons for the dandruff like faulty diet, harsh shampoo, poor blood circulation in head, emotional tension and stress. This problem is more common in teenagers because they secrete an excess of androgen hormones which causes sebum, the skin oil.

Remedies

* Massage and daily brushing are effective in treating dandruff. They help in blood circulation. For dry dandruff you should use an oil to massage before washing your hair.
* Rubbing lemon juice on the head is effective.
* For dandruff, massage three days old curds on the scalp. Keep it for half an hour and then shampoo.
* Avoid nuts, chocolates, fried food. You must have a diet rich in green, chicken, fish, milk and its products. Also a good diet in vitamin A, E & B complex
* Prior to shampooing soak a pad of cotton wool in witch hazel extract and apply on the head along partitions if roots are excessively greasy.
* Massaging the head with brahmi oil cures dandruff.

Home made remedies
For oily dandruff:

* Mix rosewater, two drops of lemon essential oil with equal proportion of cider vinegar or malt vinegar and massage the lotion in the scalp gently. Keep it for sometime. Do this in the night and use a mild shampoo in the morning.
* Soak two spoon full of fenugreek seeds in water at night. In the morning make a paste by mixing seeds, two drops of lemon and apply on the head. Keep if for an hour. Then wash with herbal shampoo. Do this once a week.
* In a mug of water, mix two tablespoon of malt vinegar and two drops of rosemary. After shampooing, rinse the hair with it. Dry your hair with the help of towel.

The body shop's nettle shampoo mops up the grease on the scalp. If you use conditioner concentrate on the ends of hair and away from scalp to prevent graesiness and dandruff from forming. Have not had dandruff problems with this shampoo

Answer 4

I have oily hair each from time to time, too. I by no skill wash it with basically conditioner- that makes it worse. oftentimes, I rinse it fairly properly with shampoo (organic Essence is my sought after) a minimum of once, each from time to time two times. another day (or more desirable regularly, if my hair receives frizzy) I positioned conditioner basically on the bottom of my hair. it fairly works fairly properly. As for what causes it... properly, utilising basically conditioner is likely a tremendous element of it. also, hair and oiliness is diverse for each individual, and also you would possibly want to ought to target slightly to make certain what works stunning on your hair.
