Most dermatologists and trichologists believe that a person suffering from dandruff manifestations needs to be in the sun more and include healthy protein foods in their diet, and reduce foods high in animal fats to nothing.

Effective treatment of this disease is possible only with the correct identification of the causes of dandruff. It is very difficult to independently determine the origins of dandruff, so trichologists recommend contacting them for detailed advice and identifying real health problems.

Causes and treatment of dandruff is possible at home. However, to effectively get rid of the problem, it is necessary to consult with a specialist, take medications and use folk methods of directed action.

Dermatologists and trichologists identify a number of causes of dandruff.

Wrong hair care

Many neglect this reason and do not attach much importance to the elementary rules for hair care.

Mistakes in hair care can be as follows:

External influences on the hair of harmful factors

The influence of the external environment can also negatively affect the health of the scalp.

In the warm season - the sun's rays, and in the cold - minimum temperatures and wind, very traumatic factors for the scalp. If a person does not wear hats, then at some point this can lead to dandruff.

The environmental situation is an important factor affecting the health of the hair. Dust, exhaust gases, chlorinated water are the causes of clogging of the skin pores on the head and the rapid death of the upper layer of cells.

Violation of metabolic processes in the body, in the work of internal organs

Internal causes of dandruff:

Fungal infections of the scalp

The fungus of the skin of the head has many types. It can cause dandruff and cause discomfort. At home, it is impossible to identify the type of fungal disease and it is necessary to undergo a special examination by a doctor.

Symptoms of scalp fungus include:

• severe hair loss and deterioration in hair quality;
• dryness and loss of healthy shine of the strands;
• strong and noticeable exfoliation of the scalp and the appearance of "islands" of peeling;
• fragility of hair, starting from the roots.

Having distinguished these symptoms, it is necessary to pass tests and take up a thorough treatment.

Improper nutrition, lack of vitamins and minerals

Dandruff can be caused by an unhealthy diet. If you do not follow your daily diet, constantly eat flour products, sweets, fatty and very salty foods, then it is possible that the scalp will not react in the best way.

Spicy foods also cause excessive activity of the sebaceous glands. Lack of useful fiber: fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as various cereals, will lead to slagging of the stomach and itchy scalp. Water balance must also be strictly observed, it is he who helps to cleanse the body.

Yeast is the most common cause of dandruff. These are ardent assistants in the formation of fungus. Yeast is found in bakery products, pastries, beer products. At home, it is good to avoid making pastries and breads based on yeast.

The lack of vitamins and nutrients plays a significant role in diseases of the scalp. Basically, if there are no vitamins of groups A, E and B in the diet, then the upper layer of the epidermis peels off with plates, the hair loses its elasticity and falls out.

When dandruff appears, it is necessary to reconsider the diet in favor of healthy natural products rich in vitamins and nutrients.

Vitamin B deficiency is characterized by a lack of blood and oxygen supply to the hair follicles., loss of natural hair pigment, suspension of growth and development of hair follicles, violation of the conversion of amino acids that prevent dandruff.

The lack of the required amount of vitamins A, E, C in the body is accompanied by a violation of the immune system, a deterioration in the blood circulation of the scalp, and the destruction of hair follicles.

The lack of iron, zinc, calcium, selenium, silicon, magnesium threatens the hair with the most unpleasant external signs and is an integral reason for the formation of dandruff.

Note! At home, it is not possible to identify the absence of certain vitamins, trace elements and substances. To do this, it is necessary to conduct a medical examination and pass all the tests.

Hormonal disbalance

Hormonal failure occurs in the human body when the level of male hormones in the blood changes. Such a hormone increases the production of sebum, which holds dead scales on the head, and also sticks them together. This leads to exfoliation of cells in layers.

Factors affecting the failure of hormones:

• hormonal disruptions are most often characteristic of adolescents and women during menopause. Dandruff in these situations is a passing phenomenon;
• jumps in hormones are sometimes due to hereditary factors. If the family has increased greasiness, then it is transmitted with genes;
• comorbidities associated with old age, or with nerve problems: schizophrenia, Parkinson's disease, epileptic seizures, psychosis;
• side effects of medications. In women, it often happens when taking hormone-based contraceptives;
• diseases based on the defeat of the vegetative system: nervous, gastrointestinal tract, central nervous system;
• various infectious diseases;
• violation of metabolic processes in the body.

Be careful! In the course of hormonal changes, the appearance of dandruff can cause serious diseases. Treatment at home can exacerbate the situation.

Stress and emotional upheaval

Stress is considered one of the main causes of all known diseases in humans. Dandruff is no exception.

What can trigger stressful situations:

• feelings for loved ones;
• tragic events associated with the loss of relatives;
• nervous overload at work;
• systematic lack of sleep;
• chronic nervous disorders;
• lack of essential nutrients in the body;
• illnesses and operations;
• excessive workaholism.

To get rid of dandruff in this case, you need to remove the source of stress.

If serious emotional upheavals have occurred in life, then as soon as the body returns to its former emotional balance, dandruff will disappear by itself.

hereditary factor

A genetic disease that is accompanied by the appearance of dandruff is psoriasis. With severe stress, reduced immunity, constant fatigue, the development of this disease can occur.

The most at risk group is young people under 30 years of age. If a similar disease was noticed in a family or one of the distant relatives, then it could well be transmitted through several generations.

A dermatologist or trichologist will help to accurately establish the diagnosis with a complete examination of the body.

The main symptoms of seborrhea

Seborrhea is a skin disease that occurs in the process of irregular activity of the sebaceous glands.

Symptoms of the appearance of seborrhea:

• curls become greasy in the evening after washing them in the morning;
• the scalp is covered with "islands" of sticky scales;

• itching appears in the scalp;
• the ends break, split, cease to radiate a healthy look;

The main types of dandruff on the head

Snow-white flakes are of two types : dry and oily. Consider what happens in these conditions with the scalp, how to distinguish between these two types.

Dry dandruff

The main difference of this type is itching after shampooing . If not stopped in time, seborrheic dermatitis may appear. Luckily, I didn't get to it. But my head was exactly like that - dry, white particles covered my head in places and almost did not comb out.

The causes of dry dandruff are internal disorders that occur in the body. . Usually, cells are able to renew themselves within 2-4 weeks, but if there are failures, then this process occurs in 5 days.

This type is reflected, as a rule, on the hair. If they glossy after washing, large “snowflakes” can be seen on them , then dandruff is oily. Usually white snow cannot be hidden. It will be very noticeable on the hair. Such dandruff is formed on the head in large pieces around the hair follicles, they injure them, so your hairs may fall out .
