If you want to avoid washing your hair however, there are many other techniques that you can try.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Invest in a good hair brush<\/h3>\n<p>Having a good, stiff bristled brush is a god send for your scalp. It cleans out all the dead skin cells and invigorates the skin of the scalp, making future dandruff less likely.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Look at your diet<\/h3>\n<p>Certain foods have properties that can help control dandruff; opt for diet that is rich in Zinc, Vitamin B and plenty of Omegas and good fats (think avocados and nuts, not crisps and fries!)<\/p>\n<h3>3. Coconut oil<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Coconut oil<\/strong> is a fantastic ingredient that will work wonders for your flaky scalp. Simply warm a tablespoon (or two, depending on the length of your hair) between your hands, then rub it well into your hair, concentrating on the roots and the scalp.<\/p>\n<p>Let the mixture sit for a few minutes then wash out with a cool rinse. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.haircareclub.co.uk\/best-coconut-oil-for-hair\/\">Coconut oil<\/a> is antifungal, nourishing and deeply moisturising, so this treatment should work wonders.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Essential oils<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Essential oils <\/strong>can be extremely useful in the fight against dandruff. Go for a rinse with<strong> Tea Tree<\/strong> as this is a powerful antiseptic and antifungal which can really help.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jojoba <\/strong>is another good one, as is <strong>Neem<\/strong> \u2013 this one has been used for centuries as a cleaning agent for hair. Oils are natural and non inflammatory, but make sure you do a patch test before you cover your whole head with them!<\/p>\n<h3>5. Give your hair a deep moisturising treatment<\/h3>\n<p>You can use a hot oil mask, an over the counter moisturising product, or a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.haircareclub.co.uk\/egg-olive-oil-and-honey-hair-mask\/\">home made hair mask<\/a> using egg yolks and olive oil.<\/p>\n<h3>6. Try exfoliating your scalp<\/h3>\n<p>Stimulating the scalp will help it regulate its oil production, so giving it a really good massage should work wonders for it, and has the added bonus of making your hair look shinier and healthier too.<\/p>\n<h3>7. Avoid touching hair<\/h3>\n<p>Another very simple tip is to <strong>avoid touching your hair<\/strong> too much. Running your fingers through your locks will transfer oil from your fingers to your hair, making the problem worse.<\/p>\n<p>Try an up-do, or spritz your hair with spray so it stays in place (but remember that too much product can add to a dandruff problem).<\/p>\n<h3>8. Cider vinegar<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Cider vinegar <\/strong>is a great product for your hair, as it has antimicrobial and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5788933\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">antifungal properties<\/a>. A rinse with diluted cider vinegar can work wonders for your dandruff problem, and you don\u2019t have to worry about the smell \u2013 this dissipates very quickly once the hair is dry.<\/p>\n<h2>Final Words<\/h2>\n<p>If you can\u2019t get rid of your dandruff but you want to go out and not worry about it, try wearing your hair up in a ponytail or another up do. This won\u2019t remove the problem, but it will certainly make it look less noticeable.<\/p>\n<p>Washing your hair won\u2019t make your dandruff go away \u2013 in fact in most cases this will make it return with a vengeance. Try some of the tips above, and hopefully you will be able to leave the house safe in the knowledge that a bit of shoulder snow is not about to ruin your day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dandruff is a well known problem for a great many people around the world.
