Dandruff and their solution
One of the major disorders of the scalp and is known as Pityriasis. Like skin, being shed and replaced, in the same way the uppermost layer of the scalp continuously sheds the scale. If dandruff is neglected for a long time, it leads to baldness. It is generally believed to be infectious and is considered contagious which may spread by the use of common combs, brushes, towels, soaps and other articles. Sluggish condition of scalp, poor blood circulation, poor hygiene and deficient diet are some other causes of hair dandruff.
Dandruff is of two types:
Dry dandruff and
Waxy type dandruff.
Dry dandruff is characterized by an itchy scalp where small white scales usually attached to the scalp or loosely scattered in the hair, shed off.
The waxy or greasy type of dandruff is yellow in color, scaliness of the epidermis mixed with the sebum oozing from scalp, causes scales to stick to the scalp in patches causing itchiness. If the greasy scales are torn off, bleeding or oozing of sebum may follow. Dandruff should be treated immediately on finding the slightest signs of its existence.
