  Have you noticed white specks on your shoulders? After combing your hair, you find a white residue on your comb? Has your hair become oily and your scalp started to itch? All clear. Like millions of people around the world, you are faced with an unpleasant problem called dandruff.

  The essence of the problem

  In fact, dandruff is keratinized skin flakes that flake off the scalp. A complete change of cells in the upper (horny) layer of the head occurs in about 4 weeks, and therefore the discovery of rare skin flakes on a comb is quite normal. But if for some reason pathological changes occur in the skin, cells begin to exfoliate much more often and in large numbers, which leads to a serious cosmetic problem. However, not all so simple. In most cases, the appearance of dandruff brings its owner noticeable discomfort in the form of itching, burning, dry scalp, and even hair loss. You need to immediately begin to fight such a serious problem, but first you need to understand the causes of this condition.

  Causes of dandruff

  To begin with, let's say that dandruff is usually divided into dry and oily. The reasons for the appearance of each type are usually different.

  Dry dandruff usually appears as a result of vitamin deficiency, in particular, deficiency of vitamins A and B, as well as in the case of an excess of the hormone testosterone, both in men and women. Typically, dry dandruff appears in adolescents during adolescence. Other causes of this condition include: weak immunity, stomach problems, use of inappropriate shampoo or hair dye.

  Oily dandruff appears due to disruption of the sebaceous glands. The causes of this condition may be metabolic disorders, the presence of helminths in the body, the appearance of fungus on the scalp, as well as some chronic diseases such as seborrheic dermatitis or psoriasis.

  There are quite a few reasons for the appearance of this unpleasant condition, which means that to eliminate it you will need to consult a nutritionist and trichologist, as well as undergo a special medical examination. Meanwhile, practice shows that the problem of dandruff can be eliminated only through comprehensive treatment, which includes eliminating problems with the body and getting rid of external manifestations of dandruff. Moreover, to cleanse the head of keratinized skin particles, not only ointments, pastes and medicated shampoos are used, but also anti-dandruff essential oils. Let us dwell in more detail on these folk remedies.

  How do essential oils work against dandruff?

  Let us immediately note that essential oils have long proven their effectiveness in the fight against such an unpleasant syndrome as dandruff. The healing effects of oils are simply explained. Judge for yourself, essential oils:

  • normalize the secretion of the sebaceous glands;
  • improve blood circulation in the scalp;
  • have anti-inflammatory and antifungal effects;
  • stimulate nutrition of hair roots.

  As practice shows, regular use of essential oils significantly reduces the rate of flake detachment and minimizes the amount of dandruff that appears.

  Ways to use essential oils against dandruff

  When choosing an essential oil, you should listen to the advice of your doctor, who will recommend the most optimal option, taking into account the intensity of dandruff and skin type. To combat dandruff with such means, you can use one of three methods of application, namely:

  1. Apply oil to the comb and carry out aromatic combing twice a day, literally for 5-7 minutes. It is advisable to choose a plastic comb, which is less damaging to the skin.
  2. Prepare special therapeutic masks. The easiest way is to add the selected oil to shampoo or use it as part of special ointments and masks for dandruff. Literally two or three drops of oil will be enough for a single portion of the product.
  3. Spray your scalp with aromatic oils. To do this, take some water into a spray bottle and add 3-4 drops of essential oil, then shake and spray the product onto the scalp.
