Anti-dandruff treatment shampoo - Oily dandruff

Oily dandruff is only found on the scalp. It is a frequent and harmless condition, but one that can have a serious affect on everyday life due to its highly visible character. You absolutely mustn't feel guilty because it really can happen to all hair types and its onset is unrelated to your personal hygiene!

Several factors, such as stress, pollution, poorly adapted hair care products and even hormonal imbalance, can contribute to the persistence and recurrence of oily dandruff. Its origin, however, is always a hypersecretion of sebum, favoring the proliferation of a yeast naturally present on the scalp. This yeast becomes irritating, weakens the skin barrier and provokes a defense reaction from your scalp. Large, yellowish, thick, sticky scales then appear on the hair, sometimes accompanied by itching.

Dandruff tends to be a recurrent condition and you should therefore adopt a rigorous scalp cleansing routine. Use suitable anti-dandruff shampoos that target excess sebum and rebalance local microbial flora.
