Aloe as a secret weapon: Combat dandruff with this natural remedy

Wondering how to fight dandruff effectively? You can use an ingredient that has been extremely popular in the beauty industry for years. We can find it in creams, body lotions, shampoos, and hair conditioners. It can also handle dandruff.

Hair care is not the easiest task. The choice of cosmetics is huge; drugstore shelves are groaning under excess conditioners and masks. Products should match the scalp's needs and the type of hair porosity. We distinguish low-porosity, medium-porosity, and high-porosity.

Dandruff and an itchy scalp are rather common ailments that probably everyone has fought against at some point. Among the causes of dandruff, we highlight, among others, skin dryness, allergies to certain ingredients in hair care products, or skin diseases. Plenty of products on the market support the fight against dandruff, but it is worth starting with a few essential elements.

First, give up strongly cleansing shampoos that can irritate the scalp. While washing your hair, gently massage the scalp with lukewarm water. A popular ingredient also helps.

We're talking about aloe, which you can add to your favourite shampoo. Aloe copes perfectly with skin problems, including dandruff. It moisturizes the scalp, reduces itching, and soothes irritations. Add a bit of ready-made aloe gel (or aloe pulp) to the shampoo and mix thoroughly. Then, wash your hair, performing a gentle scalp massage.

High temperatures can lead to dry hair. UV radiation and hot air can harm your strands. If you prefer natural (and quite inexpensive) care, reach for honey. Add two teaspoons of honey to the shampoo and use it all summer to keep your hair moisturized.
