Many a times we get patients who come with the chief complaints of oily dandruff
and they often correlate their dandruff problems with the length of the hair.
According to them scaling is really under control when they get their hair shaved off and then it returns back once the length of the hair starts increasing. In this article I will tell you the exact ways for treating the dandruff without shaving the hair off so make sure to follow it to bid a permanent goodbye to your dandruff problem.
There are oily glands which are termed as sebaceous glands in the body which secrete sebum which is required in certain amounts for conditioning the scalp. In males they are secreted in larger amounts and for some the secretion is so much that it forms an oily layer on the scalp. If the hair in that region is dense then the oily secretion does not get washed off but it stays within. This type of scalp forms a favorable condition for the fungi Malessezia Furfur to grow. These fungi break down the sebum in such a way that the final component irritates the skin due to which the skin starts peeling off causing oily dandruff. So if you want to get it treated you should be sincerely following the regime given below.
1. Make sure to use a proper shampoo which takes care of the dandruff.
2. The shampooing needs to be done regularly.
3. Doing a destressing activity is definitely of great help.

Arnica based shampoos are very effective for treating dandruff if used under the guidance of a trichologist. This is one of the mild shampoo and will have no harm on the hair shaft unlike other anti-dandruff shampoo which are really harmful to your hair.
2. The shampooing needs to be done regularly.
