Dandruff Causes and Cure

Dandruff is usually the result of an excessive discharge from oil glands. The scalp sheds loose flakes. Severe dandruff might lead to a red, inflamed scalp, which in turn might lead to hair failing out in patches. Such cases need medical attention.

Ordinary dandruff can be treated with either a medicated shampoo or by using any antiseptic in the rinsing water.

Cleanliness is most important. Brushes and combs should be cleaned after use and should never be borrowed.

Dry scalp dandruff should be treated as you treat dry hair.

Hair should be well brushed before shampoo.

Tips for treating dandruff

Beat one egg and rub thoroughly into the scalp, in place of shampoo. Rinse with warm water. Repeat this treatment once a week.

Equal parts of water and vinegar, mixed together and applied to the scalp, before shampoo, are excellent for dandruff treatment.

Yolk of an egg mixed with one ounce of spirits of rosemary, a pint of warm water and a pinch of borax may be rubbed thoroughly into the scalp before shampoo. It may help to got rid of dandruff. A brush should never be used where there is any dandruff present, as it will spread infection further into the scalp as well as into the hair shaft.
