By Janine Hughes


Every woman wants to look good and beautiful and it is because of this that they would do anything to stand out from the rest. That is why its common to see any woman coupled up with the latest accessories. When it comes to hair the trend is also the same, the latest hair style is what most women want to wear. But for some women it has been impossible for them to have any hair style at all. This is due to itchiness and dryness which is very uncomfortable, that why it is important for any woman to know scalp treatment for dandruff.

Dandruff is a condition of the scalp that is caused by dead cells. They are usually small white or grey flakes. They make a person feel itchy which can be irritating and uncomfortable though they are not contagious and are harmless. It is due to the itchiness that some people shave their hair to reduce the irritation.

The common causes for this condition are; dead cells contained in the scalp which brings about the small white or grey flakes. Not combing the hair can also be a cause; research found out that people who do not comb their hair have more chances of getting dandruff.

The other common cause of the condition is dry scalp- the dryness also adds up to the flakes and are usually more and smaller compared to the normal flakes. A person who has an oily skin is also likely to suffer from dandruffs, the condition is known as seborrheic dermatitis which can be a severe case if not dealt with immediately.

The known symptoms of this condition are the white or grey flakes. When a person sees them they automatically know that they have dandruff. When someone scratches their scalp they fall on a person shoulders and are visible especially when a person wears something dark. This is usually embarrassing to some people because they might be considered as dirty.

The treatment for this condition depends on whether one has a severe or a mild condition. For a mild condition one needs to; comb their hair at least once on a daily basis, this will help in scratching off the flakes. One can also wash their hair with a little shampoo daily to wash of the dry cells. Another thing one can do is avoid scratching their scalp at all times even when washing with a shampoo, instead one should just massage gently. Some hair products should also be avoided or instead avoid mixing different types of hair products.

Another highly recommended home treatment is the use of apple cedar vinegar. The procedure is really easy when using vinegar what one needs to do is to take a cup of vinegar and mix it with warm water. This is a natural remedy so the quantity does not really matter as there are no side effects. When washing hair one should massage gently and not scratch as this prevents hair breakage and also prevents the flakes from surfacing.

The only disadvantage of using vinegar is the smell. If you use it you will have to wait for at least eight to twelve hours for the smell to go away, which does not actually go away completely. That means you will have to use it on a day you are planning to stay indoors.
