Seasonal Dandruff?

[Stephany]

I noticed I get dandruff every fall. Is this normal? How do I get rid of it? I have tried head and shoulders, tea tree, and more - nothing works!

Do you have seasonal allergies? Some men and women who have seasonal allergies get dry skin in the fall and winter. This will lead your scalp to flake more, and flake bad! Avoid using gels and hairsprays for one week. Let coconut oil sit on your scalp for 2 to 4 hours, OR you can sleep with it on for a deep moisture. Wash your hair as normal after. This should make a huge difference. Be sure to use a cleansing/clarifying shampoo to list the dead skin that the oil gathered off.

My mother swore by sesame seed oil getting rid of her dandruff. Now, I am not sure how much she used or the whole process but I am sure you can find it on google. I don't want to tell you the wrong thing. Good luck!

Have you tried Selson Blue? I used get bad dandruff and that was the only shampoo that made a different. I would get flakes just from brushing. It was that bad. And that was after I just washed it!

Coconut oil has always been very good for me when I am having any type of major, excessive or chronic dryness and if my go-to jojoba oil doesn't work.

Dandruff is usually just very dry scalp which may occur from changes in the temperatures. Some scalps and hair will react to changes in the seasons by becoming dehydrated.

I think Lea has really covered most of the best tips, although Jamie's idea to use sesame seed oil is an excellent tip to try. I find sesame oil to be lighter. While coconut oil may be too heavy for some, sesame and jojoba can be a lighter alternative.

I have not tried Selson Blue, but if the dandruff is super challenging, it's worth a try for sure.

I have had problems with dandruff all year long, but head&shoulders works in my case... So, you may need to use some "drastic measures" and try out a home made treatment.
I recommend washing your hair with egg yolk. Egg yolk is probably the ingredient with the most nutrients ever in it (an entire chicken comes out of it, so you can imagine it contains lots of nutrients ). Just wash your hair with it (or use 2, if you have long hair), rinse and them shampoo like you normally do.
