Dandruff
Shedding of dead skin cells is a natural
part of the daily regeneration of the skin, which is shed
every 24 days. An excessive shedding of the skin cells of
the scalp resulting in white flakes, and sometimes itchiness
is known as dandruff.
Dandruff, although a natural growth process of the skin, is
caused by excess oiliness of the scalp and is therefore seasonal.
Contrary to common belief that it would be more severe in
summer due to sweating or dryness, dandruff is worse during
the winter months.
There is no known cure for Dandruff.
Dandruff is affected by:
1. Use of hairspray and gels
2. Over use of chemical hair
treatments
3. Use of curling irons and
curlers.
4. Exposure to cold dry weather
or dry indoor air
5. Tight fitting hats or
head scarves
6. Stress, anxiety, trauma
and tension.
7. Personal Hygiene
Possible solutions include:
Since dandruff is part of the natural growth process of cells,
it can not be cured but only managed. There are various shampoos
are on the market that claim to reduce or eliminate dandruff.
They contain various chemicals of which sulfur is one. Dead
Sea Salts contain sulfur in a natural form. In addition the
other minerals assist in detoxifying and cleansing which is
vital to restore the balance of cells to reduce the oiliness
of the scalp.
