What to do if there is too much dandruff

When it comes to the problem of dandruff, I believe many people will not feel unfamiliar with it. On the contrary, they hate dandruff very much. Because dandruff seriously affects the beauty of hair and gives people a bad image of not washing hair frequently and being unhygienic, the treatment of dandruff is one of the issues that many friends are concerned about. So what should we do if we have too much dandruff? What is a good treatment method?

Dandruff is one of the more common diseases, mainly caused by fungal infection. The population generally suffering from the disease is mainly concentrated in adults. Improper diet and excessive stress can easily lead to excessive dandruff. Below I will give you a detailed introduction on how to deal with excessive dandruff.

Pityriasis capitis (dandruff) is a skin disease caused by Malassezia (a type of fungus). The massive reproduction of Malassezia on the scalp causes excessive proliferation of the scalp's stratum corneum, which in turn causes the stratum corneum cells to abnormally fall off in the form of white or gray scales. These shed scales are dandruff. The causes of dandruff are usually divided into physiological and pathological.

Causes

Natural desquamation is a normal physiological metabolism of the scalp. It happens to everyone and usually falls off in the form of tiny particles smaller than 0.02mm. Therefore, it cannot be observed by the human eye and will not affect people's normal life and work.

Dandruff is white or gray scales that appear when there are abnormal lesions on the scalp. It is caused by fungal infection and falls into the category of skin diseases. The scale particles are large and attached to the surface of the scalp or hair. They can easily fall off onto the shoulders and clothes when combing the hair or scratching. The main causes of pathological desquamation:

1. Seborrheic dermatitis: Seborrheic dermatitis is the main cause of dandruff. It often occurs in adults and manifests as thick, oily secretions on the scalp or dry hair. 2. Tinea capitis: It is generally thicker and more tightly attached to the scalp, and the surface is covered with silvery white scales, which are often distributed in patches. 3. Psoriasis: It is caused by microbial infection of the scalp and hair, manifested as dandruff and hair damage. In severe cases, it may be accompanied by inflammatory reactions. It is common in children and is mostly caused by poor hygiene habits. 4. Atopic dermatitis: manifested as diffuse dry dandruff on the scalp. It is common in children, usually accompanied by dry skin or eczema all over the body. 5. Other causes of Malassezia infection: ① Shampoo is not washed off thoroughly. ②Using poor quality shampoo with too strong degreasing power. ③Excessive sebum on the scalp. ④Improper diet, drinking and eating spicy food. ⑤The autonomic nervous system is easily tense. ⑥Lack of sleep and fatigue. ⑦ Gastrointestinal disorders, unbalanced nutrition, and lack of vitamins A, B6, and B2. ⑧Using inferior hairdressing products. ⑨Abnormal endocrine factors. ⑩Season change.

What to do if there is too much dandruff

Basic Methods

1. ① Don't just rinse your hair with shampoo, but rinse it thoroughly. The temples, behind the ears and other places are easily overlooked; ② Use water to make shampoo into bubbles before applying it to your hair; ③ Change shampoo brands frequently; ④ Use warm water to wash your hair. Overheated water will stimulate the scalp to secrete excessive oil; ⑤ Eat less irritating foods and don't drink excessively.

2. Head care: Washing your hair frequently can clean excess sebum on the hair surface in time, eradicate the culture medium for fungi, significantly reduce the production of dandruff, and effectively increase the smoothness and combability of the hair. Traditional Chinese medicine recommends: 1. Wash your hair three to four times a week. 2. People who work outdoors for a long time and those who do mental work can increase the frequency of hair washing appropriately. In addition, they should comb their hair frequently to promote blood circulation.

3. Nutritional supplement: Nutrition in the body can sometimes have adverse effects on hair. If you suffer from excessive hair loss and dandruff, you can appropriately supplement with vitamin A, B6, zinc, and calcium.

4. Boil water with ginger: Boil water with ginger. When it is not hot, add some vinegar to soak your hair. It has a very good anti-itching effect. If you want to get rid of dandruff, you need to use it several times. In addition, if you use rice water to boil ginger, it can also act as a conditioner, making your hair brighter and darker the more you wash it!

5. Pay attention to your diet: 1. Avoid eating fried, greasy, spicy, alcoholic and caffeinated foods, as they will stimulate and increase the formation of oily scalp and scalp, so you should quit eating them. 2. Avoid eating overly sweet foods. Because hair is alkaline and desserts are acidic, they will affect the acid-base balance in the body and accelerate the production of scalp. 3. You can eat some foods that are high in zinc. Such as: brown rice, oysters, lamb, beef, pork, red rice, chicken, pasta, milk, eggs.

After reading the detailed answer to the question of what to do if there is too much dandruff, I believe that you all have a general understanding of this issue. When washing your hair at a regular shop, never use overheated water. In addition, be sure to rinse it thoroughly and don't wash it carelessly. In your daily diet, avoid irritating foods and eat more zinc-containing foods, etc., which can reduce the production of dandruff.
