AVOID OILY PRODUCTS: It is a common belief that flaking is due to dryness of scalp, hence excessive oil treatments are preferred. This missconception must be cleared. Greasy and oily face and scalp products can aggravate the condition and should be avoided. FOLLOW SHAMPOOING GUIDELINE: 1. Shampoo often. Wash your hair often?every day if necessary. Generally, the more frequently you shampoo, the easier it is to control the dandruff. 2.Massage it in. When shampooing, gently massage your scalp with your fingertips to help loosen scales and flakes. But don't scratch, that can lead to sores that are worse than the dandruff. 3. Lather twice. Always lather twice with a dandruff shampoo, for the first time leave shampoo for 10 to 15 minutes so the shampoo has sufficient time to work. Then rinse your hair very thoroughly. Follow that with a quick second lather and rinse. The second rinse will leave just a bit of the medication on your scalp so it can work until your next shampoo. 4. Change the brand frequently. As our skin can adapt to the ingredients of a particular shampoo, so it is adviced to change the brand every few months to maintain its effectiveness. 5. Use Conditioner. Although dandruff shampoos are effective on the scalp, they can be a little harsh on the hair, so try to apply conditioner after every shampoo to counteract their effects. SEBORRHEIC DERMATITIS AND DIET 1. For seborrheic dermatitis sufferers, a diet which contains too much saturated fats, processed sugars, and junk food is the major contributor to the imbalance which promotes candida overgrowth. Reduce saturated fats and processed sugars in your diet. 2. Increase the intake of fiber in your diet. Fiber helps to eliminate candida overgrowth.Increase the intake of fresh fruits, green vegetables; such as broccoli, spinach, collard sprouted seeds and kale. Also stress on raw nuts and cereals. 3.
