Hair Problems

Dandruff:

Also known also as seborrhea, Dandruff is an inflammation of the scalp that is normally the result of excess oil. Flakes are white in color and spread throughout the hair. If flakiness includes severe redness, inflammation and blisters, the condition is called dermatitis or eczema and should be treated by a skin specialist. Flakes that are yellow and accompanied by red, itchy skin around the eyebrows nose and beard is called seborrhoeic dermatitis. A skin specialist can also treat this condition and will recommend you the type of drugs that is suitable for your scalp.

Dry flakiness and itchy scalp:

Although similar to dandruff, dry flakiness is characterized by white, powdery flakes on the head and around the nape of the neck. Dry weather affects your scalp. Use a moisturizing product until the flakes disappear or the weather changes.

Oily hair:

As with dry hair, some people have naturally oily hair. A certain amount of oil is healthy to maintain the hair follicles, but excess oil can cause hair to look dirty and unkempt.

Greasy hair:

These kinds of hairs must be washed nearly every day, especially if it is thin or short. Choose a gentle shampoo and a light conditioner. Apply shampoo into the scalp with the flat part of your fingers rather than the tips. Also, don’t brush or comb your hair excessively as it stimulates oil production.

Thinning hair and hair loss:

While hair loss is common, it doesn’t have to be inevitable. For many people, genetics plays a role in male or female pattern baldness. This type of baldness happens when your hair starts to recede, beginning at the temples or crown. The hair looks weaker there, than on other parts of the head and eventually falls out.
