Dandruff Treatment

Dandruff Treatment (continued)
If you think you may have a severe case of dandruff, it is advised that you set up an appointment with a dermatologist.

Poor health may be the cause of your dandruff, so be sure to get enough sleep, eat nutritiously, and avoid stress inducing activities.

Something in your diet may be causing you to have an allergic reaction and trigger dandruff to occur, try limiting your diet and see if your dandruff gets any better. Some foods that commonly cause an alergic reaction causing dandruff include nuts, choclate and shellfish.

If you have to scratch your head, avoid using your fingernails to scratch (you'll risk an infection if you do) instead use the pads of your fingers.

Wear a hat outside on days that are extremely cold, windy, and when you're going to be out in the sun for a lengthy period.

Use a humidifier to keep the air moist.

Limit the use of hair coloring and hair styling products with alcohol which dries out hair.

Make sure that you get an adequate ammount of B6 in your diet, which will help prevent dandruff.

Massage your scalp with the pads of your fingers in a circular motion to increase circulation.
