Other Tips to avoid Dandruff.

Prevention is better than cure and thus we must follow the below tips to avoid dandruff.

1)Comb your hair regularly.
Our scalp continuously sheds dead skin cells and thus its important to comb our hair at least twice a day to throw away these dead cells from our scalp. Brushing your hair will also prevent knotting of hair and facilitate blood circulation in scalp. Use anti dandruff shampoos.

2)Proper shampooing and conditioning.
 Wash your hair at least thrice a week in summer and twice a week in winters. If you do not wash your hair regularly a lot of dirt and oil will accumulate on your scalp further resulting to growth of dandruff. Make sure that you start applying conditioner 2 inches below your scalp and that no residue of shampoo or conditioner is left in your hair.

3)Styling products.
If you are using too many styling products like hair sprays etc. please avoid using them or use in moderation  as the chemicals in those products are harmful for scalp and can boost the growth of dandruff.

4) Proper diet.
Having a well balanced diet can make your hair and scalp healthy. Shampoos and food items including Zinc are really good for treating dandruff. Avoid salt and sugar and deep fried items in your diet.
