Fifth episode : the dandruff

Imagine the most attractive man with a dark suit. You notice him during a night and when he is approaching you…horror, his shoulders are like snow covered! The great self confidence of the said apollon is broken. Ladies, you’re also the victims of this curse. Always checking with that gesture which sweeps the top of your jackets. Fortunately, the dandruff is not irreversible. There are so many products and hair care on the market today (shampoo, peeling, lotions) that you can solve very quickly that problem.  

But why this dandruff?

Generally, the five layers of our epidermis are renewed every five weeks: when everything is ok, the new cells are formed in the deep layers of the dermis and then they eliminate the dead cells by pushing them outside the epidermis. When the system is disturbed, it is the fault of the nasty pityriasis (a fungus) which proliferates on the scalp without permission. It accelerates the normal process. Result: the dead cells don’t have the time to be eliminated anymore. They cling to each other and are concentrated in the form of squama at the surface of the scalp. Some persons affected by eczema, psoriasis or having greasy hair are also like to have dandruff. These are divided in two families: the dry ones (like snow on the suit of our Apollo) and the greasy ones (thick and stuck on the scalp). To crown it all, they lead to itching.  

What solutions ?

An anti-dandruff specific treatment (and/ or anti-hitch) is essential. For the latter to be completely efficient, we advise you to choose an anti-dandruff shampoo for dry or greasy scalp with a peeling of the scalp. A five-week treatment is necessary (rhythm of natural renewing of the skin). You will feel a pleasant feeling of freshness and well being. You can choose a treatment with vitamins or supplements rich in provitamins A, vitamins B, C and E, or selenium renown to fight pityriasis efficiently. You must also know that your shampoo technique can also leads to dandruff. It is essential to do a good massage with circularly movements in every part of the scalp. Two emulsions are recommended with a waiting time of three minutes before rinsing. You can also complete the shampoo action with soothing and purifying lotions.   For the shopping session, we have selected for you:

• To fight against itches: le bain bio-recharge by Kérastase, le mint clean for men by Redken and also le clean spice for men.
• To fight against dandruff: le bain exfoliant hydratant by Kérastase, le scalp relief dandruff controle by Redken, l’instant clear by l’Oréal professionnel, l’antipelliculaire de Série Nature.

Then, ready to get rid of this undesirable snow?
