Wondering how to effectively fight dandruff? You can use an ingredient that has been extremely popular in the beauty industry for years. We can find it in the composition of creams, body lotions, shampoos, and hair conditioners. It can also handle dandruff.

Hair care is not the easiest task. The choice of cosmetics is huge; drugstore shelves are groaning under the excess of conditioners and masks. Products should be matched to the needs of the scalp and the type of hair porosity. We distinguish between: low-porosity (straight), medium-porosity (slightly wavy), and high-porosity (curly).

- The basis of beautiful and shiny hair is a healthy scalp, and the golden rule of proper care is to use shampoo for the scalp and conditioner for the hair, - says Martyna Pobuta, trichologist and clinical psychologist, in an interview with WP Kobieta.

dandruff is quite a common problem

Dandruff and an itchy scalp are common ailments that almost everyone has fought against at some point. Among the causes of dandruff are skin dryness, allergies to certain ingredients in hair care products, and skin diseases. There are plenty of products on the market that support the fight against dandruff, but it is worth starting with a few important steps.

First of all, give up strongly cleansing shampoos that can irritate the scalp. While washing your hair, gently massage the scalp and use lukewarm water. A popular ingredient also comes to the rescue.

just a little is enough

We're talking about aloe, which you can add to your favorite shampoo. Aloe copes perfectly with skin problems, including dandruff. It moisturizes the scalp, reduces itching, and soothes irritations. Just add a bit of ready-made aloe gel (or aloe pulp) to the shampoo and mix thoroughly. Then wash your hair, performing a gentle scalp massage.

how to take care of hair in summer?

High temperatures can lead to dry hair. UV radiation and hot air can harm your strands. If you prefer natural (and quite inexpensive) care, reach for honey. Add two teaspoons of honey to your shampoo and use it all summer long to keep your hair soft and moisturized.
