There is no cure for dandruff. It is a common scalp condition which occurs when dead skin is shed, producing unattractive white flakes. Most people think dandruff is caused by dry skin, however, it is actually the result of an oily scalp. It occurs when skin cells renew themselves and the old cells are shed.
Dandruff is generally worse in the winter months. It can be triggered by trauma, illness, hormonal imbalances, improper carbohydrate consumption and the consumption of sugar. Deficiencies of vitamin B’s, selenium and essential fatty acids have been linked to dandruff as well.
Dandruff is embarrassing; it is an annoying and irritating problem. It is a condition which does not ever go away, but it can be minimalized. Using aloe vera gel
twice a day or infused with your shampoo is helpful. Since aloe vera is a powerful antiseptic and anti-inflammatory, it works to decrease those annoying and embarrassing white flakes.
