I was just having random thoughts and this came to my mind and that's "dandruff"
Oh geez! Dandruff can be so disturbing. You can't be proud to brush or comb your hair in public because you will embarrassed on how dandruff flakes off your hair to litter your dress. Uuhh! Don't want to imagine it
From my personal experience, I think dandruff is caused by dryness. When your scalp lacks moisture and you as a person does not hydrate well by drinking enough water daily. So if you are guilty of this, there is a higher chance of having dandruffs.
I bought everything antidandruff when I was struggling with mine. Hmmm, do they really work? Hmmm maybe. I think they do, if you hydrate yourself and your scalp well. Hydrate your scslp in the sense of using leave in conditioners, deep conditioners and hair moisturizer on your scalp. It is till you add this with your antidandruff whatever that it actually works. If not, your dandruff will keep coming back.
I've been struggling with dandruff since I was young and I hear people tell me this myth that, if one has dandruff, it shows that you will have long and thick hair. I felt so happy then, so didn't let it bother me. As I grew older, I was getting displeased about it.
So luckily for me, I was in a conversation with some ladies and the topic "dandruff" was the subject. Then I asked how they dealt with it and their answers were the same. The answer was their hair never lacked moisturizers.
Not all these expensive hair products oo, hair moisturizers like over the counter hair creams and oils. The process of really massaging these products into your scalp really helps hydrate it. Not just rubbing the cream on you hair strands and get it all shinny, nah. Massage it into the scalp, yeah, that works.
So after realizing this, the thoughts of what I've always been doing wrong rushed through my mind. I don't drink enough water, I know that's bad and I just cream my hair strands and really like massage the scalp like I'm supposed to. I only do the scalp massaging on my so called "hair days" when I choose a particular day to do everything hair from deep conditioning to hot oils and stuffs. It can be tiring.
But the simple act of gently and really massaging your scalp with hair oils, cream, washing your hair as at when due, conditioning your hair e.t.c can really be helpful. It worked for me.
Thank you all for staying till the end of the article. Catch ya later.
