Hi I am Doctor Poonam Bali. I am a homoeopath and a skin & hair expert for the last 15 years
I have been in this field of beauty care cosmetic care for skin and hair as well as general
wellness. Dandruff basically kills the hair because it spoils the roots. So if we address
the dandruff then that will take care of a lot of other issues that can affect how the
hair looks how they flow and shine and the strength of the hair etcetera Dandruff usually
comes from the blockage of hair pores which are the very source of nourishment for having
healthy hair which comes from getting some infection from the environment which gets
added on from the presence of dust your own sebaceous oil which comes through the scalp.
So pollution, dust, and various other things which can infect the scalp. So this will get
greatly affected if you do not keep your scalp very clean.
So the very basic thing about dealing with dandruff is to keep your scalp very very clean,
free of any dust, pollution, sweat, excessive oil which gets secreted from day to day basis.
So one very strong point would be to keep your hail clean which means every second or
third day you should wash your hair with an anti dandruff shampoo. There are also some
herbal cures we will talk about which also play a role in removing dandruff.
So there are various tinctures of plant extracts which are used to apply on the scalp as well
as some oral medications which are also resourced form the plants are given based on the complete
history of course and then once the medical part is taken care of there are few rinses
which one can use post the shampoo whether you use the herbal shampoo or a bottled anti
dandruff shampoo which also should not be continued for too long. But if it becomes
very necessary you know if you are travelling or there is a extreme emergency you know you
have very severe dandruff that you want to address right away and beginning with you
know a couple of applications of anti dandruff shampoo but there after it should be stopped
because otherwise your hair will be completely devoid of its natural oils and you know the
shine that healthy hair can have by itself. Then one can use herbal shampoo which is usually
made from a combination of amla, sheekakai, and reetha which acts as a cleanser. The amla
it plays a big role you know in Vitamin C which is very important for healthy hair and
sheekakai is again a well known herb in India which plays a very important role in having
strong healthy hair and this shampoo also has aloe vera in it which is a great moisturiser
Lot of times hair breaks due to just being dry. So if hair are depleted of their own
natural oils due to strong bottled shampoos then it can lead to just breakage not even
fall from the root and dandruff also becomes a very big reason for the fall of hair because
dandruff will completely bloc the pores. The pores will not be able to breathe and they
will not be able to get nourished because the nourishment comes from inside the root
which is beneath the scalp which will become blocked. So there will be no oxygen supply,
no blood supply which carries the nourishment.
So dandruff one should never allow to stay for any length of time. As soon as you feel
a little itchy a little flaky you should try to weigh you know just consult an expert or
one should just from one's experience of dealing with dandruff one should use these herbal
shampoos or home made remedies which then vinegar plays a very vital role. Vinegar is
ideally a very good cleanser so it will really take care of the cleansing part as well as
removing the infection and this can be resourced from just direct vinegar or wine or beer as
is well known it becomes a very useful for treating the hair which have been affected
by dandruff.
Then very important factor is that one should not you know use any other person's hair accessors
whether it be combs or hair bands or hair clips or rubber bands or clips. Even a pillow
to that extent because it being a very contagious problem even one use of comb or a brush of
a hair which are carrying dandruff is enough for you to get infected. So use that as a
prevention and if you are you come down with dandruff don't let anybody use your hair accessories
and you should also not use anybody's hair accessories.
So these are I think fundamentally quite a lot... quite all that can take care of your
dandruff problem. Keeping it very clean, not using anybody's hair accessories, using natural
ingredients like amla, sheekakai, reetha, aloe vera to moisturise as well as cleanse
your hair and you can use vinegar, even lemon juice is very very useful in dealing with
the dandruff. Mix about one teaspoon of lemon juice in half a mug of water and after you
have cleansed your hair with any shampoo you can give it a last rinse either with lemon
juice or vinegar rinse in the same proportion, one cap of vinegar and little bit of water
to dilute it and let that be the last rinse.
