Hello,
I am delighted to welcome you at icliniq.com.
I read your query and understand your concern.
Dandruff can result from multiple factors, including fungal infections. In addition to this, there are other factors that can lead to changes in the texture of the scalp's outer layer, such as hormonal fluctuations, climate changes, hair products, and prolonged use of helmets, which can cause the accumulation of sweat on the scalp and subsequent changes in skin texture, as well as the development of fungal infections due to genetic susceptibility. Although dandruff is manageable, there is a chance of recurrence in the future. This is because it is not a disease but a condition that affects the outer layer of the skin, influenced by both external and internal factors as mentioned. My advice:
- Scalpe Plus (a combination of Ketoconazole and zinc pyrithione) shampoo: Use this shampoo after mixing three to four drops of the shampoo in one-third cup of water (the cup used for bathing). Apply the mixture to the scalp, avoiding the hair strands. Massage for one minute, leave for three minutes, and then wash off. Use this once every three days.
- Any good brand deep conditioning keratin treatment hair mask: This mask can be applied to the hair strands after shampooing and rinsing off the shampoo. Use a towel to remove excess water. On damp hair, apply this mask generously along the hair strands. Massage for one minute, leave for five minutes, and then rinse off. This helps in maintaining rough and frizzy hair. This product is available online.
- Ensure that there is no stagnation of sweat and moisture on the scalp. To make the scalp less prone to fungal infections and the formation of dandruff, it is important to dab off any excess sweat that forms on the scalp from time to time.
- Make sure to eat a healthy diet and consume plenty of fruits and vegetables. Aim to drink at least 85 ounces (2.5 liters) of water per day to maintain hydration on the scalp.
- Once a week, you can oil your scalp using a mixture of coconut oil, castor oil, and vitamin E capsule oil in a ratio of 3:2:1. Mix castor oil and vitamin capsule oil in lukewarm coconut oil in the above ratio, massage it onto the scalp for one minute, leave it on for 20 to 40 minutes, and then wash it off completely with shampoo.
