What is Dandruff?

Dandruff, scientifically termed as seborrhoeic dermatitis, is a common scalp condition characterized by the shedding of dead skin cells from the scalp. It often manifests as white or yellowish flakes that are visible on the hair and shoulders, especially when wearing dark clothing. It is not contagious, but it can accompany irritation and mild itchiness sometimes.

The signs and symptoms of Dandruff may appear as:

-White flakes on the scalp and shoulders

-Itchy scalp

-Dryness or oiliness of the scalp

-Redness or irritation

Are you tired of those pesky white flakes ruining your hairstyle? Dandruff is a common scalp condition that affects people irrespective of age and gender. Many resort to anti-dandruff shampoos to get rid of it, but beware – they often contain harsh chemicals that may damage your hair. But fear not, we’ve got you covered with effective dandruff treatments that help you attain a healthy scalp and gorgeous hair. Evenly boasts a team of certified dermatologists with extensive experience in providing effective and long-lasting results.

What Causes Dandruff?

Dry Scalp

worsens in cold or dry climates, where the lack of moisture can result in flakiness and itching.

Excess Sebum

Overproduction of oil (sebum) can cause dead skin cells to clump, forming flakes

Yeast Overgrowth

Over-growth of naturally present yeast, Malassezia yeast

Skin Conditions

Conditions like seborrhoeic dermatitis, eczema, and psoriasis can make people more prone to dandruff symptoms.

Hair Products

Certain products with harsh chemicals can worsen dandruff or cause allergic reactions.

Not Shampooing Enough

One who does not use enough shampoo for a hair bath is more susceptible to dandruff due to the accumulation of oil build-up in the scalp.

Preventive Tips for Dandruff

Maintain Scalp Hygiene: Wash your hair regularly with a mild anti-dandruff shampoo to keep your scalp clean and free of excess oils and dead skin cells.
Avoid Hot Water: Use lukewarm or cool water to wash your hair, as hot water can strip your scalp of natural oils, leading to dryness and flakiness.
Moisturize Your Scalp: Keep your scalp moisturized by using a conditioner or a leave-in treatment designed for dry scalps to prevent dryness and itching.
Balanced Diet: Eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, especially zinc, B vitamins, and omega-3 fatty acids, to promote scalp health.
Limit Hair Products: Minimize the use of styling products like gels, sprays, and mousses, as they can build up on your scalp and contribute to dandruff.
Manage Stress: Practice stress management techniques, such as yoga, meditation, or regular exercise, as stress can trigger or worsen dandruff.
Avoid Scratching: Refrain from scratching your scalp, even if it itches, as this can worsen dandruff and irritate the scalp.
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin, including your scalp, hydrated.
Choose the Right Shampoo: Select a shampoo with active ingredients like ketoconazole, selenium sulfide, or pyrithione zinc, which are effective against dandruff.
