Avoid silicones in shampoo - this is how you care for your hair properly

Silicones are found in most shampoos. Whether in the expensive hairdressing product or ...

• Dandruff shampoos often only work for a short time. This is due to the fact that harsh surfactants are also used here, which cause problems for a dry scalp.

Treat the scalp gently

• Your scalp does not need absolute degreasing with shampoos. The sebum is produced to skin and hair to protect. Every time you remove it completely, your skin suffers.
• So the first attempt is made by permanently using a mild shampoo. Use it a few times before your judgment. Your skin takes some time to adapt.
• You can also help your dry scalp by oiling it. Use a nourishing oil such as almond oil. Put a drop or two in your hand and rub it in. Then gently massage your scalp with your fingertips. Preferably do this in the evening so that the oil can soak in overnight. Be careful with the dosage to avoid greasy hair.
• Don't take hair oil that you can find in many drug stores until you have studied its ingredients. They often contain silicones that can lie like a layer on your scalp. Your skin can then dry out further under the silicone.
• Also, avoid all hair products that contain alcohol, as it dries out the skin.
• Be careful when brushing so as not to further strain your skin. Take a brush with soft nubs or a wide-toothed comb and comb slowly without pulling.

If all measures do not help against the dry areas, see a dermatologist. You may have psoriasis or fungus causing you dandruff, which requires medical attention.
