Dandruff: where it comes from, and what to do

Dandruff - a common enough phenomenon that sooner or later face almost everything, and some are fighting for years. Dandruff is not easy to win, but still possible: get help from ancient folk remedies based on natural products and modern scientific developments.

Causes of Dandruff

For example, it may be due to metabolic disorders , triggered by stress, wrong mode of the day, inappropriate diets, hormonal imbalances and a variety of other reasons. Sometimes the situation is aggravated and improper care of the hair and scalp.

Dandruff is often a symptom of dermatological diseases such as seborrhea. This disease occurs most often as a result of hormonal disruptions in the body, which can increase the activity of the sebaceous glands. Increased production of sebum and change its chemical composition weakens the protective properties of the scalp and provokes reproduction of fungal infections .

As you know, the human skin is home to many bacteria, fungi and microbes. While a person is healthy, these "tenants" did not make themselves known, but hardly in the body there are failures, they are activated and start to proliferate. Likewise behaves like fungus Pityrosporum Ovale (or Malassezia Furfur). If normal cell growth is gradual, and the upper layer of the epidermis updated about a month, the result of a fungus that period is reduced by several times. New skin cells grow too quickly and die and remain on the scalp and hair in the form of unpleasant gryaznovatyh flakes. In addition to this fungus irritates the scalp, causing itching and burning of the skin.


Dry or oily?

There are two types of dandruff: dry and oily. Dry dandruff appears as a result of violations of metabolism : changes in the composition secret that produce sebaceous glands located on the scalp. Sebum becomes too thick, and the dead cells of the scalp exfoliate too active. This looks like dandruff flakes small grayish color, it settles on the hair and showered on clothing.

If the cause of the "snow" on the hair is known, then it's simple: you need to fix this cause. For example, if dandruff was a response to the use of a means for hair care, just stop using this tool. But more often owes its origin to a whole range of dandruff causes, which means that the treatment of dandruff and should be comprehensive.
