So if you have dandruff and you want to get rid of it? Well you have found the right video
I'm going to break this video into two sections first we're going to talk about lifestyle tips
that help with dandruff then we're going to talk about the best medicated shampoos that help with
dandruff so what we're waiting for let's begin now before we begin please do remember dandruff is not
caused by poor hygiene it's not contagious it's caused by a fungus that we all have naturally on
our scalps so please don't let anyone make you believe otherwise now let's begin with those
lifestyle tips okay so tip number one stay away from scalp oils I know we all know that person
I know that person I'm thinking of them right now if they're watching this video who tells you put
some oils in your hair it's going to help it it's because your scalp is dry put oils in there but
believe me putting oils in there is probably one of the worst things you can do and here's why so
you see the fungus that's on our scalp it loves natural oils okay by putting oils in there it's
just going to feed off it it's going to go more crazy it's going to replicate more which is going
to mean that you're done with just gonna get worse moving on to tip number two if there's
one thing that we know that fungus doesn't like is sunlight so try spending a little more time
Outdoors so that your head and body can get more sun and this is gonna help with the dandruff now
one important fact to remember though if you're going to be spending more time Outdoors you need
to be wearing sunscreen SPF 30 at the bare minimum moving on to tip number three make sure you use
your shampoo properly I know it's a basic one but you will be surprised to find out how many
people the lather in the shampoo properly make it foam nicely let it stay there for about five
minutes or so just so it can work properly get rid of those oils basically and help get rid of
that fungus as well moving on to tip number four hydration and having a balanced diet okay last
lifestyle tip make sure you're staying hydrated because our skin cells need water need fluid to
stay nice and healthy which is going to help with dandruff so six to eight glasses of water
is what we recommend remember coffee and tea all contribute to that as well in terms of balanced
diet make sure you have having your greens make sure you're having all your vegetables your fruits
your healthy balanced diet basically everything that your grandma told you to eat is pretty much
what it comes down to when we're talking about healthy balanced diet that's going to have the
B vitamins we need it's going to have the omega-3 that we need and it's going to have the zinc that
we need that are all going to help with dandruff okay so with lifestyle tips done we're going to
now move on to the best medicated shampoos that actually help with dandruff before we begin please
remember before starting any medicated shampoo always one speak to your Healthcare professional
to make sure you're safe and suitable to use it and two always read the information leaflet
now let's begin so medicating shampoo number one Ketoconazole shampoo it's probably my go-to that
I prescribe for my patients with normal dandruff It's very effective at killing that fungus that
causes the dandruff in the first place but here's a pro tip that's really important when using any
of these Medicaid shampoos you need to make sure you rub it in nicely into the scalp get it in
there nicely into the scalp don't be aggressive obviously but with your fingertips get nicely
into the scalps scalp and leave it in there for at least five minutes okay leaving it at five
minutes is going to give it time to work if you don't do this it's probably not going to work and
it's going to be a waste of your money moving on to medicated shampoo number two another good anti
fungal shampoo is selenium containing shampoos this is a very effective shampoo at getting rid of
that fungus again moving on to medicated shampoo number three zinc containing shampoos these have
two effects really one is an anti-fungal effect and two is an antibacterial effect however the
antifungal effects are not quite as good as Ketoconazole or selenium moving on to Medicaid
shampoo number four coal tar shampoos they can be really useful when the dandruff is actually caused
by something like psoriasis which is causing the skin cells to turn over too quickly okay but
please do remember quartile shampoos usually smell quite bad actually and secondly they can change
the color of the hair as well I'm moving on to medicated shampoo number five salicylic acid-based
shampoos these can be really helpful when you've got a very thick upper layer of dandruff which you
need to get rid of with the salicylic acid shampoo so I hope you found that information helpful on
the best Medicaid shampoos please remember though with time you might find that the effect of the
shampoos wear off a little so it's quite important that you alternate between a Medicaid shampoo and
normal shampoos to prevent this from happening in the first place I really hope that you find
this information helpful always remember you're awesome and I'll see you next week drinking six
to eight cups of glass of Cups and glass this is not outside my surgery at the moment it's good
weather so I thought I'd film but it's a bit of a random place to film because it's very cramped I
hope it looks okay so please don't let anyone be lick the nor is it container that I can't speak
