Yes, it’s possible to treat dandruff without medications or remedies. But, if your condition is not worst, then only you can treat your dandruff by taking some necessary measures. For example, eating a proper diet, washing your hair correctly, using the right products, and having no triggers can benefit you by curing your dandruff.
How Can I Cope with Dandruff with Remedies and Medications?
You can prevent dandruff without medicines and remedies with these tips:
1. Change Diet
Researchers have found out that certain foods can cause dandruff on your scalp. For example, too many carb foods will help the fungus to grow on your skin, and they cause dandruff. At the same time, sugary and dairy foods also include the body to produce more oil and lead the skin and scalp to develop dandruff. That’s why we must add those foods to our diet that will help us to fight and remove dandruff, not to boost dandruff.
2. Wash your Hair More Often
Dandruff is caused by fungus and dead skin cells. Now, if your scalp is dry, then you will get dandruff. Likewise, if your scalp is oily, then the fungus will also cause you dandruff. That’s why you must wash your hair with shampoo that has fewer chemical compounds a few times a week and let the oil stay on your scalp but not for too long. I personally shampoo my hair two times a week.
3. Exfoliate Your Hair
Exfoliating means removing the dead skin cells or the dead outer layer of the skin. You can also do that with your scalp. Just use a good and safe exfoliator that will simply remove all the dead cells from your scalp and clean your hair. Besides, many dermatologists advise using an exfoliator after shampoo and on wet hair. But, make sure to use the safest one with proper instruction.
4. Use a Specialized Shampoo
Almost all the experts suggest that people should use special shampoos that are designed to fight dandruff. That is because those shampoos contain compounds that can cure your dandruff faster than any other products. Most dandruff cleaner shampoos contain sulfur and zinc that can kill fungus, which causes dandruff.
5. Stress
Stress causes almost all the problems or triggers them. Likewise, stress is also responsible for causing dandruff on your scalp. Stress triggers scalp eczema and makes eczema worst, and we all know that scalp eczema causes dandruff. So, we shouldn’t stress out that much for our health’s sake.
6. No Scratching
If your scalp is infested with dandruff, it’s hard to control scratching. Because the scalp becomes too itchy, and we can’t just avoid it. But, if we scratch too much, then we will make the situation worse by spreading the inflammation and increasing the irritation. So, no matter what happens, don’t scratch your scalp if you have dandruff.
Summary
We can prevent dandruff if the condition is not worst, and by taking proper steps, it can be treated. However, remember not to trigger your condition.
