Before we get the cure, we need to look at the cause. This is the best way to prevent future snowflakes from falling where they don’t belong!

There are many causes for dandruff. For example, lack of hair brushing causes too many natural oils to build up. If possible you should brush your hair on a regular basis. Another cause may be sensitivity to yeast as well as a lack of vitamins in a diet.

Now, onto the cure…

An anti dandruff shampoo containing tea tree oil and offers anti bacterial properties will aid in the process of ridding your locks from dandruff. On a cautionary note, be careful not to wash your hair too much, once a week will work just fine. Unlike other cultures hair types, Ethnic hair collects its natural oils over longer periods of time. So if you wash frequently, you will be drying out your scalp causing your hair to become dry and eventually start breaking.
