Brilio.net - Dandruff is a very annoying scalp problem. Not only does it cause an annoying itching feeling, dandruff will also make the flakes dirty your hair and clothes. This condition is caused by several factors, such as an oily head (seborrhoeic dermatitis) or a scalp that is too dry, fungal infections on the scalp, and psoriasis.
Apart from that, the appearance of white spots on the hair is certainly unsightly. Of the various causes of dandruff above, scalp problems, such as being too oily or too dry, can increase the chance of the Malassezia fungus multiplying.
This type of Malassezia fungus inhibits the release of dead skin cells, resulting in a collection of white spots that appear more clearly. You can also experience it in other parts of the body such as behind the ears, eyebrows, or facial folds. Moreover, the dandruff you are experiencing is crusty dandruff which is a little more difficult to get rid of. Not infrequently it is accompanied by quite severe hair loss.
This hair loss is the result of disturbed scalp health. This condition will also inhibit hair growth and damage hair follicles in order to maintain healthy hair.
To overcome this, there are various ways you can do it, of course apart from using anti-dandruff shampoo. One of them is by using natural ingredients in your kitchen. As shared by a TikTok user with the account name @ankitamehtashah on September 18 2022.
