And if you haven't had it, congratulations and care, as a careless one can lead to having them.
Although it seems a little intimidating at first, there are some facts about dandruff that are not dangerous, but cause a lot of confusion for those who do not understand the subject. To demystify these points, and make you very smart about how to take care of this hair disease, we have separated 7 important facts against dandruff and some tips on how to take care and treat dandruff. Just have a look.
Dandruff Symptoms
When you wear that darker suit or shirt and it looks like it snowed on your shoulders, buddy, that's dandruff. Dandruff is characterized by the appearance of small, thin flakes of dead skin, these flakes may become attached to the strands and come out during hair wash or simply fall during the day. Upon closer examination of the scalp, we can see plaques of dead skin peeling off the scalp.
Scratching the head can irritate the scalp, causing sores and starting the peeling process of the skin. This peeling may be aggravated by redness around the follicles and skin lacquers.
Dandruff intensity
Light : Small whitish flakes of skin near the scalp, near the root of the hair, and visible only when brushing or shaving.
Moderate : The flakes are loose between the strands and are naturally visible giving the hair a snow effect.
Intense : Heavy flaking of flakes of varying sizes, abundant and visible on the surface of the hair and on the shoulders of the individual, in some cases on large patches.
Causes
Some of the causes of seborrheic dermatitis are still a mystery, but here are some factors that are known to aggravate scalp scaling:
Hormonal changes
Stress
Dry or cold weather
sudden changes in temperature
low nutritious food, especially lacking in protein
7 facts about dandruff to make you smart!
1 - Dandruff is more common in winter
Okay, it's not exactly just in winter , but any season of low temperatures. What happens in these times is the increase in hot showers, and they do increase the amount of dandruff in the head. This is because the high temperatures in the scalp increase the production of sebaceous head, which consequently the oily hair, and thus increases dandruff.
So you don't have problems with dandruff, and you don't have to give up that hot bath after a cold day, just don't keep your head under the shower all the time. At most, just to wet and rinse your hair, so you don't have to gain forced resistance against the cold.
2 - Stress Causes Dandruff
Basically, everything that causes sebaceous enlargement in the scalp is responsible for dandruff. And it can have as much to do with the high temperature on the scalp as situations that cause disorders in the whole body. Stress, by releasing substances that are not beneficial to the body, especially in the bloodstream, is one of the factors responsible for dandruff.
So if you scratch your head around when you are stressed and feel like you have turned into a Christmas tree, you are not wrong: the problem of dandruff is stress. So try to cool your head, literally, so as not to lose your hair in the long run.
3 - Smoking too
Remember I said that problems affecting blood circulation are responsible for dandruff production? Well, smoking is also a major cause of dandruff. I don't want to take a foot, but I think you know: cigarettes have a lot of unhealthy substances in their blood, and they affect the same hormones released by stress.
Some people say that alcoholic drinks too, but here it is more necessary for you to control the days and the amount than simply to stop drinking. And let's face it: As refreshing as a beer is in the late afternoon, drinking too much will cause more problems than just thinning hair.
4 - And that Fatty Food too!
Here the reason is quite simple. As the amount of so-called bad fat in the body increases when you eat a lot of fried foods, undercooked meat and other foods with high amounts of this substance, your blood circulation tends to become more compromised and can not carry all the nutrients including the scalp.
The result is a bald head, a prominent tummy, and health problems that are hard to overcome at a later age. Try to reserve that fatter meat or heavier frying for the weekends at most to avoid this point.
5 - Dandruff has no cure
This is a sad fact. So far there is no remedy that will definitely end dandruff, but the amounts can be properly controlled to the point of not ending your hair. In addition to dietary and health care as a whole, you can prevent dandruff buildup by using shampoo and prescription drugs.
The Minoxidil is usually one of these remedies. Still, it should be used with caution as it can bring heavy side effects to the entire body, including the hair. If possible have a healthier life, and even cheaper.
6 - Oily hair is more likely to have dandruff.
In addition to the circumstances caused, there are the natural causes of the presence of dandruff. And if your hair is oily, large or small, dandruff growth will be constant and natural. Remember that it is not the oil itself that causes hair loss, but the enlargement of the sebaceous, a gland that protects the hair bulbs, but in excess ends up obstructing their entry and leading to dandruff production.
And here comes another factor that we already discussed in another post, which doesn't necessarily have to do with the fact that hair is oily: avoid overheating your scalp. These include wearing caps for long periods of time, or staying in hot and stuffy environments. In addition to increasing sebum production, these places can also generate scalp fungi, which is not pleasant at all.
7 - Yes, Anti-Spas work
Anti-dandruff shampoos have a love-hate relationship with their users. Although they work for the most part, they often lose efficiency over time. The most likely reason in these cases is not the poor quality of the shampoo itself, but our body that fits the formula and we are frustrated again with a head full of white bits again.
The solution to dealing with dandruff, in addition to doctor-indicated shampoos , is to look for those with Zinc Pyrithione. Shampoos with this component act directly on inflammation caused by dandruff, and greatly decrease its presence. But just for safety, see a doctor before buying a shampoo to make sure you are not allergic to it.

Treatment
Dandruff is not a condition that has a cure, it is only controlled with either specific products or better habits. However there are several effective treatments for dandruff , but it is very common that during treatment the person still presents dandruff again.
Generally speaking, simply wash your hair daily with any ordinary shampoo. In cases of recurrent dandruff, you can make use of various anti-dandruff shampoos that are efficient and found at Beard. Dandruff shampoos usually contain one of the following substances in their composition:
Zinc pyrithione;
Tar
Selenium sulphate;
Salicylic acid
There is usually no anti-dandruff shampoo that can be considered more efficient. Due to the individuality of each individual, you should find the best brand that best fits your biotype. So if your dandruff does not improve after one week of treatment, look for a brand with a different anti-dandruff substance or a combination of them until you find the one that works best for you.
If seborrheic dermatitis is associated with inflammation of the scalp, antifungal shampoos are usually indicated. Look for shampoos containing cyclopirox or ketoconazole. A dermatologist should always be consulted in any of the above situations if the patient's condition does not improve within a week.
Dandruff, myths and truths
Some myths and truths few know about dandruff:
Shaving all the hair will not end the dandruff or help treatment, after all the problem lies in the scalp and not effectively in the hair, so the size of the hair is irrelevant.
