How To Reduce Dandruff

Let's face it!Dandruff is embarrassing,annoying,irritating but not a serious disease.Though there's no cure for such, but sure enough you can reduce or minimize it.
Dandruff is common scalp condition that occurs when dead skin is shed thus producing white flakes that surely irritates the sufferer.
Before we'll start looking for a solution let us first recognize what are the possible causes.To name a few: STRESS is one, if you are facing so many pressures of life&workplace as well.Then , others have overactive glands (some people tend to generate and discard skin cells at a faster/rate than others),some evidence suggest that dandruff is usually caused by overgrowth of the yeast Pityrosporum ovale/orbiculare which lives naturally on the skin.It also can be triggered by illness,improper carbo consumption,sugar consumption and some nutritional deficiencies like selenium,essential fatty acids, and B complex.
Here are some solutions:
1)Look for shampoos with selenium sulfide,tar or zinc pyrithione to wash dandruff away as these ingredients(if you can find it in an anti dandruff shampoo) can retard the rate at which scalp cells multiply.Some shampoos has anti fungal property known as Ketoconazole that will kill the yeast that maybe causing your dandruff.But if you notice that your anti dandruff shampoo stops working after a few months of using,then it's time to switch to other active ingredient(the probable cause is that your scalp got used to your shampoo)then after a few weeks you can switch back.
Other ways of reducing dandruff:
a) By herbal infusion of chapparal or thyme use it as hair rinse
b) Aloe vera cream or gel is a powerful antiseptic and anti inflammatory(2x a day application of pure aloe vera gel or shampoo can be beneficial
