How does an anti-dandruff shampoo work?

Dandruff or pityriasis capitis is an excessive flaking of the skin on the scalp and it is believed that around 50% of the world's population will experience dandruff at some point in their lives. This hair problem is much more common than we think, but how does an anti-dandruff shampoo really work? Does an anti-dandruff shampoo work?

What exactly is dandruff?

The dead cells of the last layer of skin (corneocytes) are constantly renewed in a normal scalp. These dead cells of the last layer of skin are shed and result in the shedding of these cells in an unnoticeable way.

In a scalp with dandruff, what happens is that the renewal of this last layer of skin takes place more rapidly than normal, creating clusters of corneocytes that are much more visible when they are shed. In addition, this clumping can create an itchy sensation.

On a dandruff scalp, the particles that are shed may be waxy, greasy or yellow or grey in colour. 

On a dry dandruff scalp, the particles are usually smaller and white in colour. A dry scalp is more prone to the development of dandruff.

What causes dandruff?

Many studies have been carried out on the cause of the appearance of dandruff. These may be:

· One of the causes of the appearance of dandruff is believed to be the uncontrolled growth of some micro-organisms, especially a fungus called Malassezia furfur which is part of the normal microbiota, but which in some people may react due to their immune system.

· Seborrhoeic dermatitis can be another cause of scalp flaking, which is quite common in people with other types of dermatitis.

· Low temperature and/or humidity.

· Inadequate or insufficient hygiene of the scalp.

· Stress or as a consequence of other clinical pathologies or diseases.

How can dandruff be prevented?

· Preventing the build-up of cosmetic products on the scalp, the accumulation of dead cells and sebum on the scalp by washing the hair with akytania's new Healthy Scalp anti-dandruff shampoo 3-5 times a week. 

· Changing shampoos between shampoos could prevent the development of resistance by the micro-organisms involved to the active ingredients contained in a particular product. In other words, combining between Pure Organic dermosensitive frequent use shampoo and Healthy Scalp natural anti-dandruff shampoo.

· Leave the acute shampoo on for 3-5 minutes and rinse thoroughly. We usually leave less than 60 seconds on the hair. A secret? Rinsing well helps to keep your hair cleaner for longer.

· Do not overuse finishing or styling products and avoid applying them to the scalp for two reasons, so that they do not build up and to avoid aggravating irritation.
