hey what's going on you guys welcome back to a brand new video with Tiege
Hanley I'm Dominick Whelton for those who don't know and today we're gonna be
talking about how to conquer something that half the population is estimated to
have dealt with at one point or another and that is dandruff now there are
countless anti dandruff shampoos and hair products you've definitely seen
them advertised but the main thing is to figure out what exactly is causing your
dandruff so then you can figure out exactly what you need to treat it so
what exactly is dandruff well it's a skin condition which produces white
flakes of dead skin cells in your hair and we've definitely all seen it before
I mean let's just be real it's disgusting I've had dandruff before you
see the little white flakes in your hair thank God I have friends that love me
who let me know hey you need to go wash your hair and take care of that because
nobody nobody wants to deal with dandruff but unfortunately like we
mentioned before half the population is estimated to have dealt with it at one
point or another so that's why it's so important that we talk today about how
to conquer it now the human skin naturally produces new skin cells by
replacing and shedding old ones and people who have dandruff their skin cell
processes usually sped up a little bit faster which causes their skin to shed
more skin cells produce more oil and then those skin cells get clumped
together producing those white flakes we sometimes see in our hair so what
exactly causes dandruff well contrary to popular belief it's not just about dry
skin sometimes even waiting a little bit too long to wash your hair can
contribute but right now we're going to discuss four of the top causes for
dandruff first cause for dandruff is known as Seborrheic Dermatitis now that
may sound like a huge medical term but essentially what it is is an
inflammatory skin condition which causes little scaly patches of the oiliest
parts of your skin especially when the weather is a little bit too cold or a
little bit too dry luckily though for anybody that is dealing with this it's
pretty easy to treat all you need is an anti dandruff shampoo and an antifungal
cream that you can apply to your scalp now this next cause for dandruff may
creep you out a little bit it definitely grossed me out
but it's fungi now this isn't such a huge problem if we keep it a check but
there is certain fungi that lives off of the oilless parts of our skin to control
this again it's pretty easy just make sure you're not going too long
throughout the week in between shampooing your hair and again for extra
precaution make sure you're using a dandruff
shampoo now the third thing that may be causing dandruff is called Scalp Psoriasis
Scalp Psoriasis can cause dandruff like flakes however it tends to
look a little bit different so source is actually a chronic skin condition which
causes thick scaly plaques of skin and then these plaques are typically on your
elbows and your knees however if you have a dandruff in addition to this
chances are you probably have Scalp Psoriasis a great option for this if you
haven't already is just to make an appointment with a dermatologist so they
can go over a plan for you on how to treat it the last thing is diet stress
and genetics and although these don't necessarily have a direct correlation
with dandruff they definitely can make it worse for instance if you have a lot
of stress that can weaken your immune system which is your number one source
for fighting off a dandruff causing fungi your diet can also play a part in
causing dandruff by stimulating hormones that increase your skins oil production
and lastly genetics play a huge role in determining your type of skin and immune
system so here is the take away although dandruff can be such a pain to
deal with conquering it is not impossible and the best thing to do is
to see somebody where you can diagnose the exact causes for your dandruff so
then you can create a plan of how to treat it but the key here is just to be
patient and allow your dandruff treatment to take its time to do its job
it's just like when you start a new acne routine you want to make sure you're
using the products consistently in your patient with it because nothing happens
overnight however with consistency and healthy
habits set in place you're eventually gonna start to see the results now maybe
you're one of those people that's thinking all right Dominic I get it
dandruff sucks and nobody wants to deal with it but I don't deal with that on my
scalp I'm dealing with it in my facial hair my mustache in my beard don't worry
I got you covered beard and mustache dandruff can be
caused by dry skin a buildup of dead skin cells or fungal infections lucky
for you all it's gonna take is cleansing your beard exfoliating your beard and
moisturizing your beard to keep that dandruff at bay I would suggest just
following a simple skincare routine for your beard to completely take care of
your dandruff I personally use Tiege Hanley's level 1 skin care system for
my face and you can use the exact same skin care system for your beard to take
care of that dandruff the first thing you want to start out with is their face
wash use this throughout your beard make sure you're doing it at
least once a day the next thing you want to do is you want to use the exfoliator
use this about twice a week this helps get all of the dead skin cells off and
the third thing you want to do is you want to use their moisturizer to really
make sure you're getting all the moisture throughout your beard there's
no dead skin cells there's no buildup of that plaque and you're gonna make sure
with those steps that dandruff never sees the light of day on your beautiful
beard but that you guys that is our video on how to conquer dandruff if you
