Hair - Dandruff
Hair - Dandruff
New Page 1

Dandruff is one of the most common conditions affecting the scalp. The skin cells on the scalp are constantly renewing and the old cells get pushed to the surface by the new ones. A small amount of flaking is normal and in fact quite common. Some people, however, can experience chronic flaking as a result of certain triggers, which can also be accompanied by redness and irritation.

If you have dandruff, the process of skin renewal (or skin turnover) speeds up to twice the normal rate, so a greater number of dead cells are shed. The scalp becomes scaly and the skin cells shed and collect in clumps. They are noticeable when brushing the hair and can gather on the shoulders.

Today most skin specialists agree that dandruff is associated with a tiny fungus. This fungus lives on our bodies and scalp at all times, usually without causing any problem. However, for some people, it can get out of control - leading to dandruff.

Dandruff is believed to run in families. Diets that are too salty, spicy or sugary and accompanied by too much alcohol can make it worse, as can stress and changes in climate. Make sure your diet contains enough vitamin E, selenium and zinc (eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables and nuts). Omega oils are also said to help prevent dandruff by reducing inflammation and nourishing the cells, you can find these in the health and beauty oils.

Excessive flaking may also be a symptom of seborrhoeic dermatitis, psoriasis or fungal infection.
