Do you really have dandruff which is a disease or just a very dry flaking scalp? You can look it up and see if you really have it. If, like myself, you only have a scalp which is very sensitive to chemicals and harmful ingredients in many shampoos these are what cause the skin to flake. It is also not necessary to shampoo every day. Many people damage hair and scalp, cause thinning and prematurely greying by over washing. The shampoo companies love you to believe that frequent, every day washing is desirable. And their instructions tell you to apply shampoo twice! The simple remedy is to apply a very mild tea tree oil shampoo and wash less frequently. I wash once a week and frequently brush and have no problems (In between washes I apply polishing styling mouse and partially dry off with a towel before styling). Now scalp is healthy and hair has a healthy sheen. My hair had started to thin. This new regime stopped that too. If you think you have dandruff here are some topical remedies.
Grapefruit seed extract – A few drops of grapefruit seed extract can be added to shampoo.
Tea tree oil – Look for a tea tree oil shampoo or add a few drops of tea tree oil to shampoo.
Apple cider vinegar – Mix 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar with 1/4 cup water. Pour into spray bottle and spray onto your hair and scalp (avoiding the eyes) and wrap your head in a towel. Remove after 15 minutes to one hour and wash hair. Once or twice a week. This is a popular home remedy for dandruff.
Selenium-based shampoo – Selenium acts as an anti-fungal agent.
Flaxseed oil or vitamin E oil – Apply these oils to the scalp nightly and wash off in the morning. They can soothe and nourish the scalp. Use an old sheet or towel to protect your pillow.
Some holistic practitioners believe that dandruff is dependent on the health of the entire body, particularly the digestive system. Fried foods should be avoided. Reduce intake of fats, dairy products, sugars, chocolate, seafood, and peanuts. Increase green leafy vegetables and raw foods. Eat a whole foods diet.
Nutritional Supplements and Vitamins Biotin – Biotin is a water-soluble B vitamin that helps to break down fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. It is sold in supplement form and is also found naturally in foods. Food sources of biotin include brewer's yeast, nutritional yeast, whole grains, nuts, egg yolks, sardines, liver, cauliflower, bananas, and mushrooms Other nutritional supplements used for dandruff are:Vitamin B complex, especially vitamin B1 and B2 Vitamin A Omega fatty acids, especially omega-6.
