How to get rid of dandruff? Is there any way to get rid of dandruff quickly?

Dandruff has always been an important factor affecting hair health, especially with the arrival of autumn and winter, more and more female friends will have the trouble of dandruff. Dandruff is not only a manifestation of unhealthy hair, but also gives people a feeling of uncleanliness. Especially the increase of dandruff caused by rapid physiological metabolism makes female friends look pale.

Therefore, for those who are troubled by dandruff, the solution is to find the cause of the dandruff and remove it accordingly. So how do you judge what causes your dandruff in daily life? Is there any way to quickly remove dandruff?

Dandruff is more obvious in spring and autumn . There are several reasons for the occurrence of dandruff: one is the small fragments of dead skin cells on the scalp due to normal aging, which together with the sebum secreted by the scalp and the dust falling from the air form dandruff. The second situation is that the physiological metabolism is faster, resulting in increased dandruff production. The third situation is when the sebum secretion overflows excessively due to some reasons such as eating a lot of spicy and irritating food or oily and fatty food, the Pityrosporum will multiply rapidly after feeding on the sebum, and at the same time produce secretions to further stimulate the secretion of sebum, and accelerate the maturation and replacement of epidermal cells. The vicious cycle repeats itself and causes a corresponding increase in dandruff. The fourth situation is when the body suffers from some diseases, especially psoriasis or endocrine abnormalities, which can cause the epidermal cells to grow too fast or the pathological secretion of sebum to increase, and dandruff will also be produced in large quantities. In addition, hair dyeing, unbalanced nutrition, and excessive mental stress may also cause an increase in dandruff. The first two situations mentioned in the previous paragraph are physiological, and the last two situations are pathological. We often see the last two situations.

In order to determine the cause of your dandruff , you need to see a dermatologist for examination so that you can receive targeted treatment. There are many reasons for dandruff, and some people with dandruff often go to supermarkets to buy various shampoos based on advertisements without knowing the nature of their dandruff. Some manufacturers, driven by profit, exaggerate their shampoos in advertisements, as if there will be immediate effects after use. However, people who have used them often find that the results are exaggerated.

At present, the following types of anti-dandruff shampoos are generally available in pharmacies or supermarkets :

Shampoos containing tar, such as Zeta lotion, have a keratin-forming effect and also have anti-itching and antibacterial functions. Shampoos containing sulfides can not only inhibit the secretion of sebum, but also have the effect of keratinization, such as some shampoos such as Rejoice and Pantene. Shampoos containing selenium sulfide, such as Hill's lotion, also have antibacterial and degreasing effects. Shampoos containing 2% ketoconazole, such as Ketoconazole, have a strong inhibitory effect on Pityrosporum fungi. Other shampoos contain salicylic acid, acetic acid, beer and small amounts of corticosteroids. Generally speaking, for dandruff caused by oily scalp, you can use sulphur- and selenium-containing shampoos. For dandruff caused by psoriasis, you can use tar-containing shampoos. For dandruff caused by Pityrosporum infection, you can use Celexa lotion. There is no absolute limit to the application range of these shampoos for dandruff. After applying them according to the above principles, if they are not very effective, you might as well try changing them. In the end, you can still choose a shampoo that suits you.

Since the above-mentioned shampoos have more or less degreasing and antibacterial effects, resistance may inevitably develop after long-term use. Therefore, after using a certain brand of shampoo for a period of time and feeling that the effect is not as good as before, you should switch to other brands of anti-dandruff shampoo, or use them alternately, which may be more effective. When using anti-dandruff shampoo, you generally need to rub and massage the scalp thoroughly for more than 5 minutes after applying it, and then rinse it off with clean water. The practice of applying it lightly and then rinsing it off will not have the effect of protecting hair and removing dandruff. After using anti-dandruff shampoo, some people's hair sometimes becomes drier, so you can add some conditioner.

In addition, some folk remedies for treating dandruff can sometimes have good results, so you might as well give it a try.

1. Wet your hair with beer, leave it on for 15 minutes or more, then rinse it with clean water and then wash your hair with ordinary shampoo. Take twice a day, and you will see results in 4-5 days.

For more severe dandruff caused by Pityrosporum infection, you can take some antifungal preparations such as itraconazole, terbinafine, etc. orally in small amounts for a short period of time.
