Simply, don’t give in to scratching your scalp. This leads to the infection spreading to other parts of the scalp. This can worsen your dry scalp condition.
One of the easiest ways to prevent scalp pain is to keep your hair and scalp clean. Dandruff can be a result of not washing the hair or washing it too often. Daily washing can also damage the tresses and dry out the scalp. Hence, try and wash your hair a minimum of two times a week and a maximum of four times. If you have more manageable hair and a very oily scalp, then you may wash every day, but use a gentle shampoo.
It is advisable if you have a scalp condition or hair lice problem, do not share your personal belongings such as sheets, pillow cases, towels, brushes, combs and so on. This can lead to the spread of the bacteria and viruses and can cause further infection. Keep good hygiene habits to maintain healthy hair and scalp.
Brush or comb your hair twice or at least three times a day to enhance the flow of natural oils throughout the scalp so as to reduce itching and aid in better circulation.
A non-oily shampoo is a good bet if you have to choose between shampoos. Use natural products that are free of harmful chemicals. Before washing your hair even if you are not using any oils, massage your scalp to stimulate blood flow. Then, wash.
Be careful of the soaps, shampoos, creams and lotions that you use. Avoid using anything greasy or oily as it can lead to further deterioration of the scalp condition.
Many shampoos and hair colouring agents contain a harsh and harmful chemical called Sodium Laurel Sulphate. Try and read the bottle labels and avoid buying or using products like these. If you are used to regularly colouring your hair, request your stylist to show you the chemicals being used on your scalp. This way you can avoid running into the problem.
Often unknowingly we buy into products that can cause us allergy. Hair products – colorants, shampoos, gels, rinses, conditioners or tonics can cause scalp irritation. Take precautions to avoid such products that you may be allergic to and which may not suit your skin type.
Sometimes the problem may be acute and the use of just any gentle or baby shampoo may not help you. In this case, try and use a prescribed shampoo by your dermatologist which may have a more positive effect on your condition and leads to faster improvement. Consult how frequently the shampoo can be used.
There is nothing as effective as the food you eat. Plan and prepare your meals well to include at least 50-75 percent raw foods.
Along with a proper diet, drink enough water so as to keep yourself well hydrated. Excess water can exert your circulatory system and kidneys. So find out what amount of water is appropriate for you and make sure to consume that much each day.
If a balanced diet is the secret to a healthy body, scalp and hair, then there is a long list of foods you must learn to avoid. These are the usual culprits such as fried foods, dairy, chocolate, white flour and sugar.
Your body may be lacking in vitamins and minerals, hence the scalp condition. Improve your diet and supplement it with Vitamin B complex, B6, B12 and D3 along with trace elements and minerals. Magnesium is essential for good hair growth and is found in abundance in leafy dark greens, seeds, legumes, nuts, grains, cereals, yogurt, fish and dried fruits.
