  MAN EASE THE DANDRUFF

   Some guys don't even know if they have dandruff, some even believe it's gray hair while some believe it's a lady's problem. Here's a shocker- you could have dandruff too.

   Dandruff is a condition of the scalp that causes flakes of skin to appear and it is marked by itching. Its presence makes men grooming seem inefficient. It could be treated easily with these steps: 

1. Wash hair - Washing the hair regularly helps to clear dandruff from the scalp. Single washing won't do the job. Remember to use shampoo.

           To apply:

• Wash the hair with a dandruff shampoo everyday until the flakes subside.
• Leave the shampoo in for at least five minutes before you wash it off. This gives the shampoo time to work.

•  Wash regularly with an anti-dandruff shampoo two to three times per week.
• Beware of excessive shampooing, especially for shampoo with harsh chemicals that can irritate the scalp and dry it out.

     2.   Olive oil - One of the causes of dandruff is dryness of the scalp. Consistent use of olive oil is known to reduce and eventually cure dandruff. Olive oil is a good moisturizer which contains natural clarifying properties.

            To apply:

• Massage the scalp with olive oil regularly, especially when the hair is wet.
• For  desired result, apply after bathing and leave the oil overnight.

•  Do not exceed 10 hours after application before it is washed off.
•  Sleep on an old pillowcase *not a dirty one* or wrap the head with a scarf to absorb the oil.

    3.   Coconut oil and lemon juice - Lemon juice contains anti-fungal properties which help to fight and clear dandruff. Mixing with coconut oil achieves desired result. 

          To apply:

• Warm the coconut oil and squeeze in lemon juice. To get the right proportion, add one part of lemon juice for every five parts of coconut oil.
• Mix well and massage on the scalp.
• Leave in for a few hours before washing off.
• Use this regularly until dandruff subsides.

    4.   Aloe vera - Aloe vera gel is a herbal and natural way of getting rid of dandruff. In addition, it has antibacterial and antifungal properties which are beneficial to the scalp and hair. Aloe vera removes dandruff, soothes and heals the scalp, acting as a clarifying agent.

           To apply:

•   Get fresh and green aloe vera plant.
•   Wash thoroughly in water.
•    Cut into two: squeeze gel on to the scalp and massage.

         Precautions

• Choose a mild shampoo unless the dandruff is severe. Dead cells need to be prevented from accumulating on the scalp and the best way to do this is to keep the hair and scalp clean.
• Brushing out an oily, dandruff-affected scalp before a hair wash helps to reduce dandruff. It has to be followed by a thorough rinse using a mixture of vinegar and water.
• Drink lots of water to keep the body healthy and clean. Water keeps the body hydrated, prevents dryness and eventually flaking of the scalp.
• To reduce the risk of dirt and dandruff in the hair, cover it especially in dusty areas. Also, while swimming, ensure the hair is oiled or a cap is worn to reduce the risk of chlorine water damaging the hair.
• Avoid harsh chemicals. Herbal products are best in the removal of dandruff
• Do not share combs or hairbrushes. Clean them regularly and store in neat places

          OTHER TIPS: 

• Clean cut is a winner: Women love a guy that looks like he takes care of himself. Having a clean cut hairstyle will show that you care about the way you portray yourself.
• Frequent haircuts: Don't let your hair get too long between haircuts. It comes off as lazy.

         Aii, slay kings!!!
