How to get rid from dandruff

Dandruff is the most common issue in the winter. We must have to give a proper attention to avoid it. It is a common issue, but it can be embarrassing and difficult to treat easily.

• Change up your in-shower routine:

Consistency is key when you’re trying to combat dandruff. Don’t expect to use an anti-dandruff shampoo once and be flake-free forever. Though you will see an immediate improvement after a single use, you need to use it at least twice a week to see lasting results. Work the shampoo into a really good lather using the balls of your fingers — if you use your nails it will scratch and irritate your scalp even more. Leave on the shampoo for at least 2-5 minutes before washing it out.

• Keep your scalp free of any Excess Oils:

Our scalp produces a natural oil called, sebum which is essential to keep it hydrated and prevent dryness in scalp. Excessive sebum production can lead to dandruff.
