Scalp solutions:::: HeaLthy SCaLp =HeaLthy hAiR

    When wearing that perfect BLACK DRESS the last time a Glamazon wants to worry about is the possibility that her scalp will leave a trail of snow flurries on her collar.  So I'm here to address a common problem known simply as DANDRUFF or medically known as Seborrheic dermatitis.  Seborrheic dermatitis is thought to be due to a combination of an over production of skin oil and irritation from a yeast called malessizia.  Stress, fatigue, genetics, infrequent shampooing of scalp, weather extremes and immune deficiency diseases are known to be at the root of the problem. HEALTHY SCALP= HEALTHY HAIR
It is very important to tackle this issue because if you do not it can lead to PERMANENT HAIR LOSS!

TO DO LIST FOR TREATING DANDRUFF 

1. If you have severe dandruff visit a dermatologist
2. Shampoo hair with a dandruff shampoo every time you shampoo your hair, make sure to follow it with a moisturizing shampoo.  (dandruff shampoos treat the scalp but tend to dry out the hair)* DO NOT SHAMPOO YOUR HAIR USING HOT WATER, LUKEWARM WATER ONLY. (hot water will dry your scalp and hair)*
3. Try some naturopathic remedies such as:  ORGANIC APPLE CIDER VINEGAR RINSE & PURE TEA TREE OIL.   
4. TRy using SULFATE-FREE shampoos, they don't give you that heavy lather and will not dry out your scalp or hair.           
5. Get someone to massage that scalp (or do it yourself) Scalp manipulation helps to get the blood circulating and helps to regulate cell turnover which is a factor in dandruff production.            
6. MOST IMPORTANTLY: DRINK WATER!!! DRINK WATER!!! again, DRINK WATER!!! I can't stress that enough!
