Written by Sanya HamdaniSep 15, 2020
Watching white flakes falling off your head when you run your fingers through your hair can be quite embarrassing. Although dandruff is one of the most common hair problems out there, it needs to be dealt with effectively as it may prevent you from socialising or wearing dark coloured outfits.
There are many ways to treat dandruff — you can try oils, treatments and other medicines recommended by specialists in extreme cases. But one of the most basic products that can easily offer relief from this problem is an anti-dandruff shampoo. All you gotta do is pick the right one. Here are four ingredients to look for when buying an anti-dandruff shampoo.
Tea tree oil is used to treat a number of skin and scalp conditions due to its antifungal and antibacterial properties. Overgrowth of yeast in the scalp causes dandruff; therefore, using tea tree oil or a shampoo infused with the goodness of this oil can help tackle the problem once and for all. It will moisturise the scalp and clear blocked pores and preventing dryness.
Dandruff is caused by a fungus called Malassezia. Weather conditions and poor hair care routine facilitate the growth of this fungus. One of the best ways to prevent this is by keeping your scalp clean and using an ingredient that inhibits the growth of dandruff. Neem is a powerful natural ingredient infused with antifungal properties that keeps dandruff at bay.
One of the richest sources of carotene and antioxidants, mint contains natural antifungal and antimicrobial properties that target dandruff and other scalp issues. Including a mint-based shampoo into your hair care routine will get rid of all those flakes and give you a clean and healthy scalp.
Seborrheic dermatitis is another scalp condition that is responsible for causing dandruff. One natural ingredient that can offer relief from this problem is aloe vera. The soothing and calming properties of aloe not only soothe the itchiness and flakiness but also hydrate the scalp.
