Cure Dandruff - Blow-Drying - A Major Cause of Dandruff

Dandruff is a problem that many of us have to deal with on a regular basis and unfortunately, it can be a difficult one to treat. As a result of the Dandruff that we experience, many of us will seek out a medical drug to cure dandruff in the form of an over-the-counter medication or perhaps even a prescription shampoo. Although these do have the ability to get rid of the Dandruff, they typically only do so on a temporary basis. The reason why this is the case is because Dandruff is often only a sign of another underlying cause, not the actual problem itself.

Although there certainly are a lot of different problems which can cause dandruff, one of the main problems is the fact that we mistreat our hair and so many different ways. A lot of us don't even consider the fact that the shampoos that we tend to use from the store on a regular basis are actually not good for our hair, they simply clean it. At the same time they may dry your scalp out, leaving it susceptible to a variety of different problems including Dandruff. Another problem which may be at the root of the dandruff you are experiencing is the way that you treat your hair after you wash it.

Many of us are interested in keeping our hair style and in order to do so we may blow dry our hair on a regular basis. Since many of us tend to wash our hair every day, we are exposing our scalp to these high temperatures on a daily basis as well. This is similar to standing out in the desert every day for a half hour and allowing the sun to bake our skin. It's no wonder that we have dandruff whenever we do these things.

There are two different ways that you can approach the situation in order to treat the problem naturally. You can either stop blow drying your hair or you can treat your scalp naturally so that it is able to withstand more of these high temperatures. By massaging various essential oils into your scalp, washing it with something natural and then rinsing it with a combination of water and apple cider vinegar you will be able to keep from getting dandruff, even if you continue to blow dry it regularly.
