Dandruff, called medically seborrhea, is a scalp condition
in which there is flaking of the scalp skin. Dandruff is mostly chronic and can
persist for years, making it difficult to treat. Dandruff is characterized by
the appearance of dry flakes of dead skin that are being shed.
Dandruff can result from dry scalp and skin conditions such
as:
- Psoriasis.
- Eczema.
- Dermatitis.
- Fungus overgrowth.
The chief cause of dandruff is a fungus called Malassezia
which feeds on the oil that is secreted by hair follicles. Dandruff occurs when
these fungi grow out of control and the scalp tries to get rid of the fungi by
shedding skin cells at a higher than normal rate.
Coconut oil is very effective for curing dandruff because of
its two following properties;
- Anti-fungi.
- Moisturizing.
Coconut oil kills the fungi fast and within a week of
applying coconut oil to your scalp, the dandruff will be gone. It is that
simple.
For most people that have dealt with dandruff for years with
a lot of expensive shampoos, oils, creams and other treatments, this may sound
too simple to be effective. The choice is yours.
Coconut oil also has so many other properties for health,
beauty and healing.
