And so why do I have dandruff?
Where do they come from?
And how can I get rid of it totally?
There is a saying to say that dandruff is due to bad washing habits, or the use of wrong products. Yes, to a certain extent that this is correct. But dandruff is mainly due to stress and hormonal changes, something more internal. Of course, sometimes bad habits or using wrong products can attribute to it as well.
Our skin renew itself daily. Everyday when we walk, we bathe, we shed million of skin cells. It is normal for us to shed away dead cells daily, but we could not see it with our naked eyes, when the shedding process is normal. What causes this shedding on our scalp is a skin yeast that lives on our scalp. It is an agent that promotes the shedding of cells on our scalp. However, stress or hormonal changes can cause this skin yeast to grow excessively. This result in the shedding of cells much faster than the usual process. When we shed dead cells excessively, this is the time that we see dandruff. Dandruff is actually dead cells from our scalp.
So how can I cure my dandruff?
Most dandruff products contains zinc pyrithione, this is an ingredient that helps to control the growth of this skin yeast, to bring the shedding of cells back to the normal rate. If you have dandruff, I would recommend to use a dandruff leave-in product on the scalp as dandruff shampoos are usually used on the scalp for 3-5 mins before rinse off. While a leave-in product stays on the scalp for 7-8 hours, and can control the growth of this skin yeast even better.
Lastly, remember, products can only control the dandruff. Most importantly, you will have to sleep well and eat well. Stay relaxed and your dandruff will go away.
So note: Dandruff can go on and off. It normally comes when you are stressed out or have hormonal imbalance.
