Dry dandruff and severe dry scalp treatment. What does dry skin mean? Treatment of dandruff with folk remedies

Dandruff on the head appears mainly when a person lacks vitamins. This problem has several manifestations: just like hair, dandruff can be dry and oily. If we talk about how to get rid of dry dandruff, then treatment should begin with a review of the diet and with the right selection of hair care products - shampoos, balms, conditioners, and so on.

Dry dandruff can be located on the entire surface of the scalp, or it can be concentrated only in certain parts of it: the traditional “risk zones” are the forehead, crown of the head and temples. The particles of dry dandruff are usually small. They are easily separated from the upper layers of the skin. Sometimes there are so many of them that one gets the impression that the head is covered with dust. It is dry dandruff that constantly falls from the hair, lying on the shoulders, chest and neck. People sometimes call it “lime” for this, and this is one of the symptoms of dry seborrhea of ​​the scalp, and the appearance of such dandruff is associated with insufficient work of the sebaceous glands on the scalp.

There is also oily dandruff: it is a rather large and heavy flake, saturated with the secretion of the sebaceous glands. In any case, such a phenomenon as dandruff indicates certain malfunctions in the body. In addition to the lack of vitamins and nutrients, it can be caused by hormonal imbalance, an excess of fatty and high-calorie foods, a stressful situation, chronic fatigue and lack of sleep, as well as alcohol abuse.

Restoration of water balance as a method of treating dry dandruff

Since you are serious about getting rid of dry dandruff, adjust your daily diet. Try to eat as little fried and fatty foods as possible, minimize the number of confectionery products such as sweets and sweet pastries. Use fish oil: hair masks based on it and the internal use of capsules for literally a month will help you bring your head into a divine form. Eat more foods that contain:

  1. vitamin A - beef, veal and pork liver, low-fat cottage cheese, carrots, parsley, spinach, sorrel, fish oil, pumpkin, tomatoes, prunes.
  2. vitamin B1 - liver again, bran, sunflower seeds, sprouted wheat grains.
  3. vitamin B2 - brewer's and baker's yeast, almonds, chicken eggs, peanuts, buckwheat and oatmeal, cocoa, veal.
  4. vitamin B6, as well as all other B vitamins for hair - potatoes, red, molasses, bananas, cabbage.

Try to drink 1.5-2 liters of clean drinking water per day to normalize the water balance in the body: your skin is sorely lacking in moisture, which could lead to dandruff.

Wash your hair with special anti-dandruff shampoos, and before each wash, carefully comb your hair with a comb, otherwise, after the hygiene procedure, the hair will still look faded and dull.

Folk remedies for dry dandruff

The process of hair recovery can be accelerated by some effective folk remedies - for example, many people know how useful onion is for hair growth, but it can also be an excellent medicine in the case of dandruff. Even if you have very little free time, and you can only do healing masks once a week, it will still be an additional powerful blow to dry dandruff. So spare no effort on the beauty of your hair.

Mask of yolks with lemon. Carefully separate the yolks of two fresh chicken eggs from the whites. Combine them with juice squeezed from half a lemon. The mask will turn out to be more nutritious if you add a teaspoon of burdock or castor oil to it. The mixture is applied to the hair, a plastic cap is put on top and the head is wrapped with a terry towel. After half an hour, the mask can be washed off warm water. Regularity - once every 2 days.

Olive oil mask with sea buckthorn. A glass of sea buckthorn berries is rubbed through a sieve and combined with 1/3 cup of olive oil. The resulting mixture is heated in a water bath to a temperature of 38-40 degrees Celsius. The mask should be applied to the hair warm and rubbed into the scalp. Under a terry towel, it is kept from 0.5 to 1 hour, and then washed off with warm water and dandruff shampoo. Regularity - 2-3 times a week.

Masks from fermented milk products. In the fight against dry dandruff, kefir, whey, yogurt, and thin fat-free sour cream will help well (in which case it can be diluted a little with water). They are simply distributed over the scalp and along the entire length of the hair, to the very tips. Stand for about half an hour, then thoroughly wash the head with warm water. Keep in mind that after applying masks made from fermented milk products or chicken eggs, the specific smell of these products may remain on the hair.

Got dandruff in your hair? Do not rush to immediately run to the pharmacy or the nearest cosmetics boutique, because before treatment you need to find out its type. The fact is that dermatologists distinguish between oily and dry dandruff. Taking into account this feature, the correct means are prescribed to eliminate the disease.

What is dandruff

Dandruff is a keratinized layer of the epidermis of the scalp, although it can sometimes be present on the eyebrows or between the eyelashes.

Dermatologists distinguish two types of dandruff:

  1. Oily, which appears due to excessive release of subcutaneous fat.
  2. Dry. It is associated with a lack of sebum coming from the sebaceous glands.

Note, it is the first type that is most often found, but dry dandruff has been little studied, since it is a rare guest of our hair with you.

What provokes the appearance

In order to properly prescribe treatment, you should understand the causes of dandruff and dry skin.

Dry skin is usually due to:

  • improperly selected shampoo;
  • staining with aggressive ammonia dyes or perming;
  • frequent washing of the head, because many girls wash their curls every day to look attractive and do their styling;
  • overdrying with thermal devices (flat iron, hair dryer, thermal curlers), as well as exposure of the dermis to UV rays;
  • permanent stay in a room with a dry type of air;
  • imbalance of hormones that occurs during pregnancy, menopause, or during puberty;
  • non-compliance with personal hygiene, in particular the use of other people's things;
  • improper nutrition.

Dandruff appears due to other, quite similar circumstances. Common causes of this disease are:

  • malnutrition, in particular lack of vitamins and metabolic disorders;
  • problems in the work of the endocrine system;
  • permanent disorders that affect our body (stress and prolonged depression);
  • weakened immunity.

All these factors lead to disruption of the sebaceous glands and weak secretion of sebum (subcutaneous fat). A yeast-like fungus that lives on the scalp receives all the prerequisites for its activation and reproduction, forming entire colonies. It is the products of his vital activity that cause excessive cell division of the upper layers of the skin, which provokes a not very pleasant picture - white dandruff on the hair.

Symptoms of dry dandruff and dry scalp

Due to the lack of specific knowledge in the field of medicine and cosmetology, people quite often identify dry dandruff with the condition of dry scalp. In fact, they are completely different things. Let's see what are their differences.

Dry dandruff has the following symptoms:

  • on the hair you began to notice white small scales;
  • itching is observed on the scalp, causing a desire to constantly scratch the crown or back of the head;
  • the epidermis comes into a too dry state, as if a film forms at the roots of the hair;
  • the more you try to comb out dandruff, the more new scales remain;
  • dandruff falls off very easily, even when shaken.

How can you tell if your dandruff is dry or oily? It is enough to visually look at the flakes. If they are white or grayish in color, then dandruff is classified as dry. The presence of a yellowish tint and abundant layers of keratinized scales indicates a fatty type of dandruff.

With dry skin, things are somewhat different. Its signs are:

  • tightness;
  • hair becomes dull and constantly electrified;
  • the dermis on the head is too irritated;
  • alopecia is observed - excessive hair loss.

If with dry skin it is enough to moisturize it with the help of special masks or cosmetics, then it will be much more difficult to remove dandruff. Here you will need to use medicated shampoos, rub ointments into the scalp, and in some exacerbated cases, even resort to taking medications.

An interesting point. Want to know if you have dry scalp? Then take an ordinary white sanitary napkin and attach it to the dermis of the scalp in the head. Ideally, you should see a little greasy spots. Otherwise, sebum production is minimal.

How to get rid

If you just have dry skin, you can simply get a treatment based on moisturizing masks. Things with dandruff are somewhat more complicated. Here you have to learn a special course of treatment and adjust your diet.

Be consistent in your actions, and always bring the therapy to the end, without abandoning the implementation of various procedures halfway. How to cure dry dandruff?

For treatment, you need to visit a pharmacy in order to buy shampoos, ointments, and antimycotic pastes. In no case do not buy anti-dandruff cosmetics on the shelves of supermarkets and cosmetic stores, because they are ineffective in the fight against the disease.

Application Tips:

  1. Whatever remedy you purchase, always carefully read the instructions and contraindications.
  2. Any therapeutic ointments, shampoos, creams and cosmetic masks should always be rubbed into the scalp for a long time. For medications, 3–5 minutes will be enough, and for natural masks prepared at home, 6–10 minutes.
  3. Washing your hair with shampoo should not exceed 2 times in one go.
  4. To improve blood flow while shampooing and applying healing masks, massage with your fingertips for at least 7 minutes.
  5. Homemade masks should be left to activate on the dermis of the head for at least 30–40 minutes, wrapping the curls with a plastic bag and building a turban from a towel in order to prevent oxygen from entering and better penetration of moisturizers.
  6. When using any product applied to the skin, be sure to pass a small test to detect allergic reactions. Rub a few drops of the drug into the skin of the inner side of the elbow. If redness, itching, hives or swelling are absent, then you can safely apply the hair to the dermis.
  7. The course of treatment with shampoos and ointments is 1-2 months with procedures every 3 days. With a decrease in the amount of dandruff, you should not stop using it, otherwise the unfortunate scales may appear again. If you notice that at first the dandruff disappeared, and after some time the funds ceased to work, stop using them for 2 weeks, since the scalp and the microorganisms that live on it simply got used to the composition of the drugs used.

If you are in an "interesting" position, it is better not to treat dandruff. The fact is that active substances synthesized by the chemical industry, found in shampoos and ointments, can penetrate the bloodstream and be absorbed through the placenta, which can affect the health of the baby.

Dandruff during pregnancy appears due to hormonal failure, after childbirth it will disappear by itself.

It should be noted that it is not always possible for you to choose cosmetics yourself. The best option for you would be to go to a dermatologist or trichologist. After some tests you will be prescribed a specific treatment, which is based on:

  • fungus type;
  • type of dandruff;
  • scalp type;
  • possible factors that led to the failure of the sebaceous glands.

Important! If for a month you do not notice any improvement in the condition of the scalp and at least partial disappearance of dandruff, be sure to consult a dermatologist again. Most likely, you have not eliminated the root cause of the disease.

Medical treatment

There are various ways to eliminate dandruff:

  1. Shampoos based on selenium disulfide, ketoconazole, climbazole, zinc pyrithione. They are easy to apply and also easy to wash off. The procedure itself does not take more than an hour. The only disadvantage of such funds is that they act superficially, so they get rid of the problem only after a month or two.
  2. Special ointments, pastes and creams, which are rubbed into the scalp and are not washed off. For example, sulsenic paste, salicylic ointment, acting as an antiseptic (5%), sulfuric ointment or Ketoconazole cream.
  3. Tablets that are mixed with shampoo. For example, you can use nystatin or aspirin. The product is ground into a powder, combined with a normal use shampoo. The resulting mass is rubbed into the scalp for 2-4 minutes.
  4. Medications taken orally. They can quickly kill the fungus and improve the functioning of the sebaceous glands, but, unfortunately, they have a bad effect on our internal organs, causing problems with the kidneys, liver, and gastrointestinal tract.
  5. Moisturizing creams and gels. Of course, they will not get rid of dandruff, but they will completely get rid of dry skin. They will provide the right balance to your dermis, preventing its tightness.

To choose the right shampoo the indication column should read “Suitable for dry dandruff”. Potent shampoos are Nizoral (700-1000 rubles), Ketoconazole (250 rubles), Mycozoral (340 rubles), Horsepower (500-540 rubles), Sebozol (330 rubles) and more. You can also try a more natural composition of the suspension by purchasing Ducre Squanorm shampoo (700–850 rubles). Shampoos based on tar, zinc pyrithione and selenium disulfide do not eliminate all types of fungus.

Try to choose medical cosmetics that would have a fungicidal, exfoliating, antiseptic effect, and also improve the functioning of the sebaceous glands.
