Dandruff
Dandruff is a common chronic scalp condition marked by flaking of the skin on your scalp.
1. Mild cases of dandruff may need nothing more than daily shampooing with a gentle cleanser.
2. More stubborn cases of dandruff often respond to medicated shampoos.
How to manage it
1. If you tend to have an oily scalp, daily shampooing may help prevent dandruff.
2. Hair sprays, styling gels, mousses and hair waxes can all build up on your hair and scalp, making them oilier.
3. A diet that provides enough zinc, b vitamins and certain types of fats may help prevent dandruff.
