DANDRUFF

Everyone has some form of dandruff; from mild, to severe. Dandruff is a skin Inflammation. Even infants can have dandruff; which is called "cradle cap".   Cradle-cap is a very common condition among infants. It usually appears on the scalp and occurs mostly between the ages of two and six months.

Dandruff is not considered a problem until it is seen in your hair or on your clothing. The cause of dandruff has not been proven. It is know that dry skin, oily skin, too much moisture, or not getting enough moisture, or even poor hygiene, does not cause dandruff.  We do know that when dandruff is present there is a fungus, the yeast Pityrosporum ovale,  and an abundant build up of flakey dead skin cells on the scalp.

Dead skin cells are always falling off every part of our body as new cells form underneath.  With dandruff an excessive number of cells flake off the scalp which is large enough for the eye to see.  The question is; which comes first, the fungus or flaking?  Does the fungus cause the excessive flaking or the excessive flaking cause the fungus?  It is believed, that if you can get rid of the fungus you will see less dandruff.

If you are having problems with a flaky scalp, you may also be experiencing flaky skin. Click Here for more information on Skin Dr. for Psoriasis, Eczema, Cradle Cap, Dandruff, Herpes and Allergic Rashes.  It naturally improves skin strength, health and functioning.
 

What Do You Do If You Have Dandruff?

First determine if you really do have dandruff. Maybe you need to use a gentler or natural dandruff shampoo, harsh shampoos can cause a sensitivity thus causing flaking, which isn't reallydandruff.  You may have a build up of styling products, since most of us use moose, gels, styling paste, hair sprays, etc.  A buildup of styling products can prevent the scalp of shedding those dead cells naturally. Be sure you are rinsing your hair thoroughly after you shampoo and condition your hair, and use a natural shampoo.

Or you could have a dry scalp which is common during the winter months. If your scalp is dry, while washing your hair, massage your scalp to loosen flakes using a natural shampoo, do not over condition your hair, but occasionally do a deep conditioning. You may want to use a humidifier in your home if you have dry scalp and dry skin.

If you do have dandruff, it is best to use a natural dandruff shampoo. Most of the dandruff shampoos on the market contain coal tar. Coal tar is effective in getting rid of the dandruff but it has been known for a long time that coal tar causes cancer. 

Some common dandruff shampoos have removed the coal tar from their shampoos, but they use other harmful products such as polyethylene glycol (PEG) compounds, or sodium laureth sulfate.  Both of these are frequently contaminated with a clear-cut carcinogen, 1, 4-dioxaine. Some dandruff shampoos can contain cocamide DEA, another suspect carcinogen
