To spread white flakes on your ardent efforts comes your nemesis a.k.a dandruff. Seborrheic dermatitis, commonly known as dandruff, is a skin condition that causes scaly and rough skin. It is mostly seen on the scalp but it can happen on other parts of the body as well.

So what causes these white flakes?

While dry skin is widely known as a cause of dandruff, oily skin can also cause seborrheic dermatitis. Dandruff can also be caused if you do not wash your hair regularly. This is because shampooing can clean your scalp of the excess oil, which is a cause of dandruff.  Malassezia, a yeast-like fungus lives on the scalps of most adults and thrives on natural oils or lipids produced on the scalp. In some cases, Malassezia can irritate the scalp and cause additional skin cells to grow. These extra skin cells die and fall off, appearing white and flaky on the hair and clothes. Sensitivity to certain types of hair products can also cause itchiness on the scalp as well as dandruff. Another reason which is known to cause dandruff is stress. Sounds a bit weird right? While stress doesn’t directly cause dandruff, it can weaken the body’s defenses to fight Malassezia which can then lead to dandruff.

• Tea tree oil has powerful anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties. Add a few drops of tea tree oil to a carrier oil like coconut oil and apply it on your scalp to fight seborrheic dermatitis. You can also mix it with your shampoo and apply it.
• Coconut oil can improve hydration and prevent the scalp from drying, which is cause of dandruff.
• Aloe Vera gel has antibacterial and anti-fungal properties. You can mix aloe vera gel with a few drops of lemon and apply it on your scalp to deal with seborrheic dermatitis.
• Apple cider vinegar can restore the pH balance of the skin, stimulate the shedding of dead skin cells and reduce the growth of fungus. Add a few large tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to water and rinse your hair with it.
• Omega-3 fatty acids help manage oil production, hydration and improve overall skin health. Include foods rich in Omega-3 like salmon, mackerel, trout, fish oil supplements, walnuts, chia seeds, flaxseeds and so on.
