Home hair care tips to treat or prevent dandruff from worsening
Choose the right hair care products based on one’s hair type and scalp skin condition.
Keep the scalp skin and hair clean by taking a head shower with cold water 2-3 times a week. Avoid letting the scalp be suffocated by any build-ups like residues of products, extra sebum, dead skin cells, and dirt.
Before going outside, keep your head covered with caps, hats, or any other headgear.
Do not scratch the itchy scalp or forcefully take white flakes out of the scalp skin as it can worsen the scalp condition. It can lead to soreness, bleeding, and redness of the skin.
Go for healthy eating so that scalp gets enough nutrients to maintain the hair texture and quality.
Brush your hair with a firm, steady strokes from hair roots to tips to remove the build-up of skin cells and oils on the scalp as well as improve blood circulation. By doing this often, you can let natural oils from the scalp be carried along the hair strands to prevent skin flaking and simultaneously keep the hair shiny.
Don’t take much stress as it can trigger flare-ups of dandruff.
Maintain a good hair care routine that is best suited for one’s scalp skin and hair type.
