Have dandruffs problem for almost two months now. The first thing came to my mind was that it’s time to change the shampoo, and I did.
I am using an anti-dandruff shampoo to wash my hair now, and I do it daily. I have since changed the shampoo twice now, but still getting this white flakes and itchy scalp. You have any secret recipes to get rid of dandruffs? Can you share?
Have you ever used dry shampoo to clean your hair? I have learned about it several years ago but have never actually seen an actual bottle nor used it.
I know many Chinese people observed a taboo of not washing their hair with water for several weeks after delivering a baby. The taboo is observed with the belief that exposing yourself to water too soon will cause rheumatism and arthritis later in life. I don’t know if that belief has some basis, but I cannot imagine washing my hair for a couple of days, what more a couple of weeks! I would think a bottle of Spray Powder shampoo is going to be handy in this situations, don’t you think?
If you have wavy hair with very active oil glands like me, you will understand the meaning of “bad hair day” whenever you can’t wash your hair daily due to whatever circumstances you are in.
I remember during a trip to Cambodia and Vietnam many years ago, we took a taxi (which is a pick-up truck) from Phnom Penh to the border of Vietnam (I can’t remember the name of the town). The whole journey took us about 12 hours. The pick up truck rocked so much as it ran through paddy fields, potholes and unpaved roads, which stirred up so much dust we couldn’t even open our eyes. Even though we wore scarves to keep our hair from the dust, by the time we reached the destination 12 hours later, our hairs were caked.
The worst was not that, we discovered that the whole town was having a temporarily water cut due to some road construction work that day when we arrived at the guest house. After wearing a scarf and a hat all day, our hair were in a mess, not to mention the dust that caked on the hair. We bought a few bottles of drinking water and washed our hair with the water! How we wished we had known about Salon Grafix Spray Powder Shampoo then!
This reminds me that we need to keep a bottle of Salon Grafix Spray Powder Shampoo in our carry on luggage the next time when we travel to places like that. Do you know we can even order the shampoo to match the color of our hair ? I think it’s also a must to have if anyone would want to have clean shining hair without grease after being on a trans-continentals flight for more than 20 hours!
I have been battling a losing battle with dandruff for the past month and a half. I have had sensitive and dry scalp in the past, but I’ had stopped getting dandruff for many years until it came back again recently.
So, I was at quite a loss last month when there are always this white flakes on my shoulders, not only was I getting dandruff, the scaly scalp was damn itchy. Not to mention how embarrassing it is to have snow flakes all over your shoulder, especially when I am wearing dark color top, that’s really the most horrible of the horrid.
Someone told me maybe I should consider changing the shampoo and conditioner I am using to some other Hair Products. I have heard that before, that sometime a change in the shampoo or conditioner will solve that problem. Since I was almost running out of the shampoo and conditioner, I just stopped restocking them.
I bought a new bottle of Purify Shampoo for Dandruff and Purify conditioner and started using them, within 3 days of stopping my old shampoo and conditioner, I realized I was not getting as much dandruff as I used to get. Within a week, and with a little help from my trusty olive oil, my scalp is now almost back to the way it was, relatively healthy, with no dandruff or scars that caused by scratching. I’m very happy about that.
However, it got me wondering about why the old shampoo and conditioner would cause my scalp to shed some much flakes. I’ve never had a hair product do this to me before, I wash my hair almost everyday, maybe something in it did not agree with my scalp? Anyway, I seem to have isolated the the cause of my traumatic month-long battle with scalp problem and I’m working on clearing the dandruff completely, with great success.
