Brilio.net - Dandruff is a common scalp problem that occurs to anyone. Especially if dandruff becomes stubborn, this condition can be very disturbing. Usually, dandruff occurs when scalp cells peel off excessively and form white flakes that often stick to hair and clothes.
However, when dandruff becomes stubborn, the symptoms can be more severe, such as very dry scalp, intense itching, and larger dandruff flakes. There are several factors that can cause stubborn dandruff. One of the main causes is excess sebum on the scalp.
When sebum, the natural oil produced by the sebaceous glands, is excessive, it can create an ideal environment for the growth of Malassezia fungus. This fungus contributes to the formation of dandruff. In addition, stress and hormonal changes can also worsen this condition.
Other factors that may cause stubborn dandruff include sensitivity to certain hair care products or using hair care that is not suitable for your scalp type. Well, to overcome this condition, you can imitate the trick shared by a TikTok user with the account name @hairstylistm.

Tea tree oil is known to be effective in treating stubborn dandruff due to its natural antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. It contains terpinen-4-ol, which has the ability to kill dandruff-causing fungi and bacteria, such as Malassezia.
In addition, tea tree oil helps reduce inflammation and itching of the scalp, providing a soothing effect that can ease discomfort. Regular use of tea tree oil in hair care can overcome stubborn dandruff by eliminating the root cause and relieving the accompanying symptoms.
