Winter is in and so is its negative side. Dandruff, for instance. A common problem but definitely not a pleasant one. Those white flaky substance relaxing on either our head or slipping down onto our shoulders are really disturbing to look at. Besides, it causes itchiness which is yet another problem. Dandruff is the shedding of the dead skin cells from the scalp. Some people have it all year round but for most of us, it worsens during the winter season. Dandruff is caused by a combination of three natural triggers. One, fungus that lives on everyone’s scalp. Two, the presence of scalp oils. Three, exposure to harsh climatic conditions. Stress is another phenomenon. Shampooing hair frequently minimizes the amount of dandruff but increases the rate of hair fall. Here’s a list of hair care tips which will certainly make those irritating white flakes go to sleep.
