There are many different home dandruff cures including using vinegars, salt water and other household ingredients and plants. A very popular home dandruff remedy is a simple egg dandruff shampoo and is a great way to bring life back to your hair and lift dead skin cells without over drying your scalp.

It's very a very simple dandruff cure and all you need is

- 1-2 eggs

- Warm Water

Start by mixing 1-2 eggs with a little bit of warm water, then wet your hair with warm water and apply the egg mixture to your scalp. Let it sit on your scalp for 15 minutes to 1 hour and it will start to pull off dead skin cells and bring shine and life back to your hair.

Once you have applied the egg mixture to your scalp cover your head with a shower cap and towel so that you can build up the your scalp's temperature to allow your pores to open and allow the egg mixture to clean out dirt and dead skin.

You can increase its effectiveness by using a hair dryer on your shower cap to use the power of heat to speed up the process, sitting under a hair steamer is also a good option if it is available to you.

It is a bit of a messy dandruff cure so remember to use an old towel and to clean up afterwards. Eggs for the health of hair and scalp have been used for centuries due to rich protein found in eggs and amino acids cysteine and methionine which helped to strengthen roots and increase hair growth.

It's one thing to have dry hair that breaks and sheds. It's a totally different problem to have to deal with oily, greasy hair that clogs your follicles and makes your life miserable.

Did you know that if you don't seek out an oily scalp treatment, you risk the chances of losing your hair? Yes some oils are vital for proper hair growth since your follicles need to be nourished, but when it's in excess then it's time to do something about the problem.

One of the best ways for taking care of such a problem can be found using a few natural remedies that really do work. One you can start using in particular involves lemon juice and distilled water. What you want to do is take the juice from two lemons and place it in a quart of distilled water.

This acidic mix works great. Just rinse your hair down to the scalp, massaging and soaking the mixture in till your scalp is completely saturated in it. Next just rinse it out thoroughly.

Even some homemade astringents are great sources for putting an end to the build up of excess oil and dandruff. I'm going to reveal to you a simple, natural homemade astringent that may come off as being a little different from what you may have heard of before, but believe me, it gets the job done.

First you're going to need some witch hazel, mouthwash, and cotton wool. What you do is mix the witch hazel and mouthwash together. Only apply it to the scalp, as the witch hazel could really dry out your hair and you don't want this happening to you.

The cotton wool is used to apply the mix of mouthwash and witch hazel to your scalp without it affecting your hair. Witch hazel acts as an astringent while the mouthwash serves the purpose of an antiseptic. It's one oily scalp treatment that's sure to work.

There are many definitions and symptoms commonly described as "scalp infections". There are in fact quite a few quite different reasons why your scalp may be sore, itchy, inflamed burning red or infected. If you are like many people with chronic scalp issues - it may be driving you completely up the wall and not knowing what it is or how to treat the problem effectively after many unsuccessful attempts to eliminate it can make it seem far worse - like you are never going to get to the bottom of the problem. Well that need no longer be so! It can be simple to diagnose and treat it now and for good.

So if you are dealing with any of these symptoms lets first identify the problem and then some of the underlying causes.

Firstly, if you want to get to the root of your problems, so to speak, you need to be able to identify what your problem actually is. Of course, many scalp infections & conditions look alike, so here is a brief description of some of the most common scalp conditions:

Red Burning Itchy Scalp
Dandruff
Ringworm
Dry Scalp
Scalp Dermatitis
Eczema of the Scalp
Scalp Psoriasis
Folliculitis
Stress Related Itching

Red burning itchy scalp can be characterized as any tingling,burning, prickly, and sensitive to the touch or a fiery hot sensation. Often associated with an allergy, sunburn, chemical burn (sensitization of the scalp),or fungal infection.

Dandruff as most of us know is the process of continual shedding of skin cells on our scalps. Often the cause of dandruff is simply the result of toxins, pollutants and products that have built up on the scalp particularly products like silicone- a cheap commonly used artificial shine enhancer in conditioners sold in supermarkets.

When the natural balance of our scalps is disturbed, this creates the perfect environment for the yeast fungus Melassezia Globbosa to move in and thrive. This is when the natural process of shedding our cells gets a little out of hand resulting in an unsightly condition known as "Seborrhoeic Dermatitis" (fancy name for dandruff) and we see the highly visible tell-tale signs of flaking and crusting.

The accompanying itch and urge to scratch are often made worse by the multiplication of the fungal yeast pityrosporum-ovale (having one big party on your scalp). Another follow on effect of this is that the relentless scratching by the sufferer can cause small lesions which weep and ooze or become infected resulting in scalp infections.

Lumps bumps and sores are also common when the scalp is highly irritated or sensitivity has been aggravated. Candida can be an underlying cause of yeast infections of the scalp.

Ringworm of the scalp (tinea capitols) is a superficial fungal infection of the scalp. Scalp ringworm is caused by mold-like fungi called dermatophytes. Ringworm infection occurs when a particular type of fungus grows and multiplies anywhere on your skin, scalp, or nails. It is far more common in children and symptoms include red, itchy patches on the scalp, leaving bald areas. The skin might itch and be red and peel or be scaly, have swollen blisters or a rash (that can spread) and looks like black dots. The rash is highly contagious. It is normally treated with over the counter products containing miconazole, clotrimazole, or similar. Sometimes prescription anti fungal skin medications, such as ketoconazole are needed to clear it up. There are also products direct from nature's factories that can aid the healing process and act as natural antibiotics, although it must be said that ringworm is an aggressive fungus which needs to be monitored closely and treated accordingly.

Dry scalp can feel "tight", a sensation that is sometimes accompanied by flakiness. It is often the result of natural oils being stripped from our scalps by the frequent use of shampoos, hair dyes and or other hair products.

Dermatitis of the scalp (Seborrheic dermatitis) is an inflammatory disorder affecting areas of the head and body where sebaceous glands are most prominent. It can vary from mild dandruff to dense flakey and greasy scale. Once again it is often an accumulation of toxins and products built up on our scalps that our body is trying to rid itself of.

Eczema of the scalp similar in appearance to Seborrheic dermatitis but instead has the name Atopic dermatitis.

Scalp Psoriasis commonly occurs on the back of the head however multiple areas of the scalp or the whole scalp may be affected. Scalp psoriasis is characterized by thick silvery white scales on patches of very red skin and can extend slightly beyond the hairline. Scalp psoriasis, despite being partially hidden by the hair is often a source of social embarrassment due to flaking of the scale and severe 'dandruff'. Scalp psoriasis may be extremely itchy or on occasion have no itch symptoms. It can also cause temporary baldness on the affected areas. It is a common, chronic, inflammatory skin disease and is associated with increased risk of melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and basal cell carcinoma.

Folliculitis of the scalp is a superficial bacterial infection of the hair follicles. It is characterized by pustules around the hair follicles and symptoms include painful brushing of hair and tenderness when rubbing your scalp around the hair follicle sites. Treating with antibiotics for the particular bacteria is the usual course of action but can eventually cause resistance to the antibiotic used. Options include applying Evoclin Foam which is topical. Folliculitis is commonly caused by staph bacteria which also reside inside the nose and sinus cavity. Natural oils such as tea tree and lavender have good antibacterial properties and can also be used to treat this condition.

If you have a bump or lump under the skin (commonly a lump behind the ears with no broken skin or rash developing, then this could be a cyst. Cysts are liquid filled pustules which can be painful when they become infected. If you have such symptoms I recommend seeing a doctor to be safe. Doctors can also treat cysts with antibiotics if they have become infected or incise them as a further but uncommon procedure if the antibiotics are not sufficient.

Stress Related Itching Stress can contribute to or worsen scalp itching as it plays havoc with our immune system and hormones which have an effect on production of sebum from your sebaceous glands. Although it can contribute to the problem it is still somewhat of a myth. It may appear that you have a"stress rash", but it is more likely that the problem was already there in a less noticeable way, then aggravated by increased stress levels making it harder for your body to deal with the problem on its own and eliminate the problem. Many of the treatments below include stress relieving properties - like Lavender oil for example which calms the mind and soothes the body.

Solutions - what YOU can do about it

Going to your doctor may be the best way to get an accurate answer to diagnosing your problem, but I understand that many of you may have already done this, been prescribed some form of medication of cream (even "heavy duty" cortisone based ones where the cortisone potency may need to be increased after time).

Often the problem either doesn't go away from the start - or seems to subside but comes back with full a vengeance later leaving you wondering with more unanswered questions and a VERY unhappy scalp! Well the good news is if you don't like using these expensive and often impotent products- or even want to help them along you can use natural remedies and essential oils known to be super effective anti-bacterial busters such as tea tree oil for instance to inhibit or stop the growth of the infection and assist healing/re balancing of the scalp.

Something that is also important to understand in curing scalp conditions and scalp infections - a factor that is missed by so many doctors, and something not disclosed by companies who sell hair products and treatments is the number of people who are allergic or sensitive to commonly used ingredients in shampoos, dandruff treatments and other hair products. In fact MOST hair products (as many as 90%) contain at least one ingredient that is used in engine degreasers, another is a common ingredient in antifreeze.

These ingredients are cheap to produce foaming agents that make shampoo foam up, and do a fantastic job of stripping dirt and oily build up from hair. Problem is that they sometimes do SUCH a good job that they remove all of the natural oils and sebum from the scalp thus removing the scalps natural against bacteria etc. Another little known fact is that the most common ingredient (Sodium laureth sulphate) is used to induce skin irritation in test patients by drug companies to test the effectiveness of their itch relief skin creams. When first produced and for year's afterwards manufacturers did not know that skin was not a barrier but an absorber of ingredients & that they caused skin irritation in so many people.

So sometimes the beginning of a scalp condition can have originated from something as simple as an imbalance to the skins (scalps) sebum or an allergy to an ingredient that can easily be rectified.

Like your immune system, if your skin has an opportunity to rebalance itself and not be subjected to "incoming foreign matter" and the daily stripping of its natural oils that further aggravates the problem you can allow your body to re balance and heal itself. Obviously buying products that do not strip your hair and scalp is an obvious step in the right direction.

Fortunately there are a lot of manufacturers such as Aveda and Akin (Purist Company) who know what consumers are suffering from these issues so have addressed this problem. They have applied this knowledge to produce some amazing products with all of the benefits of natural ingredients, with none of the side effects at a price we can afford (Akin especially). It need not be difficult, nor expensive to make these choices and a move to healthy hair and scalp long term.

So yes you can eliminate harsh shampoos containing sodium sulphates and go for natural Sulphate and paraben free shampoos that contain ingredients such as macadamia, wheat germ or jojoba oils. These oils mimic our natural sebum to some extent to help to re moisturize and nourish our scalp.

Then there are lavender, rosemary and tea tree oils which contain antibacterial, healing properties. Neem oil great for its antiquing and stops itching. You can apply these topically to your skin for fast relief, to assist healing as well as looking out for shampoos with these natural ingredients in them.

Lavender calms the skin (as does chamomile tea cooled and used as hair rinse).
As well as buying quality shampoos containing these ingredients, you can
create your own combinations of remedy or remedies to soothe your scalp.
You can also help it along by using natural remedies to treat your scalp such as this scalp treatment containing natural oils to assist healing, detoxify and stimulate hair growth: (Add to
water (4 parts water 1part oil) and spray onto scalp and you can add to your shampoo and conditioners also).

Oils To Relieve Itching: Lavender, German Chamomile and Eucalyptus Oils
(Mixed together and dabbed locally on effected areas has a soothing effect).

Neem oil is also a very good dandruff preventative which can be added to any of the formulas detailed below and is excellent for psoriasis and eczema & scalp infections.

Scalp massage with lavender oil (not scented - the real oil) is another
wonderful way to relieve the tension from a sore scalp as well as treat the
issue. It also helps to re grow hair and repair the damage done to your
follicles by chemicals in shampoos causing thinning hair. (Lavender is known to stimulate hair growth too).

There are many more powerful scalp remedies you can use to treat your scalp as well as many shampoos that are excellent value, contain no nasties to aggravate your scalp and hair follicles. It can be really simple to treat scalp problems by treating yourself to your own pampering session using natural oils to help heal your scalp infection. And then be kind to your hair and scalp by using only products that nourish your hair and scalp such as Aveda or Akin brand shampoos. You can assist the healing process and help restore balance back to your scalp and you hair will appreciate and reward you for it too by becoming less brittle, stronger and shinier.
As with all natural remedies please patch test first. It is not intended for this information to replace a doctors medical advice, so please see your doctor for diagnosis and treatment. The responsibility of obtaining doctors diagnosis and using remedies is yours.

I recently got an email from someone who said that she was "shedding buckets" and she wasn't sure how much longer she could take it. She wanted to know what she could do to make this stop as soon as possible. The answer to this question is going to depend on the cause of the shedding. Finding out this reason is usually easier said than done, but it's certainly not impossible when you look at the totality of the situation. Once you find out the cause, the treatments for stopping it usually become more clear. I will discuss this more in the following article.

The Types Of Shedding That Need To Run Their Course: There are times when every one sheds and it's completely normal and passes relatively quickly. Examples are when the seasons change, when you've had stress on your body like giving birth, losing a lot of weight, having a surgical procedure or beginning a new medication. These things cause your hair follicles to switch the phase that they are in and shedding happens as they get ready to begin again.

Most of the time, what you can do about this situation is to just give it time, make sure that you are taking good care of yourself and giving your body what it needs, and keep your scalp and hair clean and healthy. It never hurts to make sure that there's not any excess inflammation from this process (which might show up as a pink or itchy scalp.) And, trying to stimulate regrowth can be icing on the cake, but neither of these things are required. Sometimes, this is just a matter of practicing good habits and waiting it out.

The Types Of Shedding That Require For You To Fix A Problem Or Take Some Action: Sometimes, giving the shedding time is not going to change anything because the accelerated hair loss is due to a problem that needs to be fixed. Sometimes, people will find that they've been waiting months with no change and they decide that perhaps this is not your run of the mill seasonal shedding.

The most common cause of hair loss is androgenic alopecia or AGA. This is sometimes genetic, but not always. And, people who have AGA with no family history whatsoever is not at all uncommon anymore. This type of hair loss can be due to hormonal changes (which is why you sometimes see it at puberty or middle age) or a new sensitivity to the androgens that always have been and always will be present on your scalp. There are varied treatments to help to get this under control and they range from topicals to medications to laser treatments. I usually advocate topicals at first because medications can also cause hair changes, especially to those who are hormonally vulnerable. And most people with AGA are.

There are also medical issues that can cause hair loss. Thyroid problems, autoimmune disorders, infections (yeast, bacteria, and others) as well as disorders or reactions on the scalp are just some of things that can cause accelerated hair loss and shedding. Vitamin deficiencies are another potential cause, but this is relatively rare and often a decent diet and a multi vitamin is all that is needed to make sure that you don't fall into this category.

The Steps Toward Stopping The Shedding: The first step, as we've discussed, is seeing if time is the answer. If not, you will have to dig a little deeper to pinpoint exactly why this his happening. Once you can determine this, the list of possible treatments should get shorter and shorter. In the meantime, it's always a good idea to take care of your health and stress levels. Also, keep your hair and scalp clean and free of build up but use gentle products to make sure you aren't worsening inflammation. Speaking of inflammation, this really should be addressed with any hair loss. There are good and gentle anti inflammatories that work topically. Finally, another step that's important, no matter why the shedding is happening, is stimulating healthy regrowth so that you can quickly replace what has been lost.

Many people are quite surprised when they find that acne, bumps, or pimples have moved from their face and onto their scalps. Your first reaction may be "how in the world could I possibly get acne on my scalp?" Simply, because your scalp is an extension of your skin and you can get acne or pimples wherever you have skin.

Causes: Scalp acne (the medical term is scalp folliculitis) is sometimes (but not always) caused by the same things that cause pimples on your forehead, face, or body.

Many people incorrectly assume that those who have acne form on their scalps do so because of a build up of dirt and oil or by dropping the ball hygienically. The opposite is sometimes true, as shampoos, hair loss / hair growth and cleansing products that we sometimes use on our hair can severely irritate our scalps and the result is sores, acne, or pimples. Some people can even have a severe allergic reaction to these products and acne is the result of this.

Sometimes, scalp acne really can develop as the result of a build up of or excess sebum or oil production, or DHT (the substance that causes male pattern baldness) on the scalp. In this case, people sometimes make the mistake of thinking that if an oily scalp is the problem, then the solution must be to use harsh shampoos made just for oily hair. This could be a big mistake because such products can either irritate your scalp more or dry it out, causing it to be red and itchy on top of the pimples.

Keep in mind that sebum and oil are produced by your sebaceous glands to protect your scalp. So, if you pour harsh or irritating chemicals on your head, your sebaceous glands are going to go into over drive in protest. This could very likely worsen the acne, which is unfortunately what you were trying to treat in the first place.

Natural, Safe Treatments For Scalp Acne That Won't Irritate The Skin Or Make The Problem Worse: Now that we've discussed the most common causes, it's easier to see that any treatment should both clean the scalp and treat the acne without being irritating, clogging, or putting the sebaceous glands into overdrive.

I know it's common to treat acne on the scalp with products that contain salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide, but if you're skin is sensitive (which may be the reason for the acne in the first place) these treatments may just make your problem worse and injure your scalp further.

There are many natural substances that are both safe and effective for your hair and scalp and any acne they may contain. You can make and use these at home without a prescription. (Although it's always a good idea to ask your doctor if you have questions or concerns.) Some examples are tea tree oil, juniper berry, chaparral, burdock root (and its tea), chamomile flower (and its tea), eucalyptus, golden seal root, and neem oil, to name only a few. Typically these are added to a carrier oil (like jojoba) and / or diluted to safe, non irritating levels and applied directly.

You can get these natural scalp treatments in any health food store (and in many large grocery and discount stores) and online. Which of these will be most effective for you will depend greatly on the cause and severity of the problem.

The good news is when used correctly (and sometimes in combination), these natural treatments can be very effective, very gentle, and very soothing for most scalp problems (including acne and inflammation) and they can even be added to gentle, PH neutral shampoos if you don't feel like starting from scratch.

Essential oils are fundamental ingredients in hair care products. From sage to thyme and fenugreek, essential oil extracts developed from organic and natural sources, help to soothe the scalp, while promoting hair growth, moisturizing and adding body and manageability. Let's take a look at the more common essential oils for hair products.

Basil: Basil promotes growth by stimulating circulation and works well with fenugreek and ivy burdock herbs as well. Basil is used in many shampoos and conditioners that are designed for scalp health. Each shampoo that uses basil is designed to nurture the scalp while enhancing circulation to the root of the hair which brings much needed blood flow.

Burdock: Not too many hair care products carry burdock and that is a shame because it is so beneficial to the scalp and to proper hair growth. It helps with skin, scalp and hair cell renewal. It also helps to stimulate blood flow to the root of the hair. Burdock Root Essential oil is also supposed to help with hair loss in both men and women.

Chamomile: Chamomile is the most soothing of the essential oils for the hair and scalp and is included in a lot of shampoos or conditioners that are made for soothing the scalp. Chamomile helps to retract skin cells that have been inflamed from chemical procedures, the sun and helps with those that have scaly scalps in including a lot of white flakes or psoriasis. Specialty shampoos and conditioners that contain chamomile can help a number of scalp problems.

Fenugreek: Fenugreek has long been used for stimulating blood flow especially to minor capillaries such as those that feed the hair root. Fenugreek makes for a great topical application like in shampoos, conditioners and in hair tonics.

Fenugreek for hair care is an excellent choice especially for those that are having problems with hair growth. Fenugreek also compliments sage, clary sage, lemongrass, lemon peel, burdock and ivy extract.

Lavender can be used in any type of hair product as it does a good job of soothing the scalp and the hair. Many people that order baby shampoo with lavender as it helps to calm infants. This calming affect is felt a long time after the calming shampoo or baby wash has been rinsed. Effects: Soothing, Relaxing. Aroma: Middle note. Scent: Sweet, Herbal, Fruity Combines well with: Bergamot, Geranium

Lemon Essential Oil: Lemon Essential oil gives golden highlights. It works well for a treatment for dry scalp, dandruff, lice, and under active sebaceous glands. The sebum on the hair is what keeps it from dry out. Curly hair tends to be more dry and can benefit from lemon essential oils. Be very careful to only use lemon on hair that is too oily as this can seriously dry out the hair after just one washing or rinse.

Myrrh: Myrrh is not typically used in hair care products. If it is then Myrrh is typically used for those have greasy hair and those that want a more purified scalp. It is used in very small quantities.

Peppermint: Peppermint helps to stimulate blood flow to the root of the hair. This helps the hair to receive proper nourishment and to grow correctly. It is a great for hair that is growing slow or hair that is thinning. Peppermint makes the scalp tingle and this is what stimulates the blood flow to the hair. This stimulation can help with hair loss and thinning hair in women and men.

Rose Essential Oil: We love the smell of Rose and love the way that it feels in the hair but the only problem with rose for hair products like shampoo is that it costs a lot of money for rose essential oil.

Rosemary essential oil works great for dry hair and dandruff as well as itchy scalp! Effects: Refreshing, Stimulating. Aroma: Middle note. Scent: Refreshing, Woody, Herbal. Combines well with: Cedarwood, Geranium, Juniper

Sage is one of the best scalp clarifiers that is available from both natural and un-natural sources. It deep cleanses impurities away from the scalp and works well with other herbs to heal scalp problems such as scalp psoriasis and helps when used with zinc to end dandruff symptoms. It is one of the most effective oils to develop a dandruff shampoo.

Clary Sage native to southern Europe, but cultivated worldwide, esp. the Mediterranean region, is a stout biennial or perennial herb up to 1 meter high with large, hairy leaves, green with a hint of purple, and small blue flowers. The oil is obtained by steam distillation from the flowering tops and leaves. Though employed in ancient times and in the Middle Ages for its curative properties, it seems to have fallen into disuse as a medicinal plant, though revived to a certain extent towards the end of the nineteenth century. The English name Clary originates in the Latin specific name sclarea, a word derived from clarus (clear). This name Clary was gradually modified into 'Clear Eye,' o­ne of the popular names and generally explained from the fact that the seeds have been employed for clearing the sight, being so mucilaginous that a decoction from them placed in the eye would 'clear' it from any small foreign body, the presence of which might have caused irritation.

Historically, clary sage has been highly esteemed and used for digestive disorders, kidney disease, uterine and menstrual complaints, acne, boils, dandruff, hair loss, oily skin, wrinkles, and general nerve tonic. The oil and absolute are used as fragrance components and fixatives in soaps, detergents, cosmetics and perfumes. It has mostly been employed in disordered states of the digestion, and has also proved useful in kidney diseases.

Clary sage blends well with: juniper, lavender, cilantro, pine, carsomon, geranium, sandlewood, jasmine, frankincense, and citrus oils. It is nontoxic, nonirritant and no sensitizing so it does not cause irritation when used in shampoos or skin care products.

Tea Tree Oil: Works daily to get to the heart of dandruff other scalp conditions that can be helped with Tea Tree oil as it works to purify the scalp. It is often included with Jojoba oil for hair as the two are used to deep cleanse the scalp. Tea tree oil works extremely good for those that suffer from scalp psoriasis and scalp dandruff.

Thyme essential oils and herbs for great hair! Thyme is often used is deep cleansing shampoo and works well when used with even the mildest cleansing agents. It works well when combined with other anti oily scalp products such as Thyme and sage. Yling Ylang can be combined with herbs as well for a desired anti dandruff shampoo.

Ylang ylang is a tall tropical tree up to 20m high with large, tender, fragrant flowers, which can be pink, mauve or yellow. The yellow flowers are considered best for the extraction of essential oil. Ylang Ylang is from the first part of the distillation process, and is considered by most to be the best. This essential oil has properties: aphrodisiac, anti-depressant, anti-infectious, antiseborrheic, antiseptic, euphoric, hypotensive, nervine, regulator, sedative (nervous), stimulant (circulatory), tonic. Historically, it has been used for cosmetic and hair care, skin diseases, to prevent fever and fight infections. Is also used to soothe insect bites. Ylang Ylang blends well with lavender, sandalwood, rosewood, jasmine, vetiver, opopanax, bergamot, mimosa, cassie and rose. It is non-toxic, non-irritant and a few cases of sensitization have been reported.

So, there is a good summary and gives you a little bit of helpful "ammunition" next time you might stop to look at the ingredients of your favorite hair care product. All told, hair care is the sum of its ingredients and effectiveness is often a result of a combination of ingredients that help dry hair oily or greasy hair, hair growth and general hair health.

There are literally hundreds of remedies for dry scalp - over-the-counter shampoos and creams, prescription concoctions and home-made recipes all claiming to relieve the torment of dry, itchy scalp. How do you know which ones really work? To some degree it will be trial and error to find the remedy that works for you, as every person has different body chemistry, uses different shampoos and styling products and has different styling routines. Finding a remedy that really works for you will involve a level of detective work to find the source of your dry scalp.

There are many different causes of dry scalp - but mainly they are categorized into internal and external causes. Internal causes are generally due to poor nutrition or poor health. Your scalp will not be the only skin that demonstrates the effects of vitamin deficiencies - basically the lack of enough vitamin C or B will cause skin problems so be sure you are getting enough of these important nutrients. External causes are more likely to be environmental (weather, air-conditioning etc) or self-induced through over processing or using product with harsh detergents or chemicals. You can't control the weather, but you can control the products you use and how you treat your scalp - and when problems occur you can choose one of the many remedies for dry scalp to help restore scalp health.

You may have heard it said before that we are 'too clean' in our modern era. It is not that we want to be dirty, but over washing of our skin and our hair has led to a host of problems as we strip away the natural oils that protect our skin from damage. One of the best remedies for dry scalp is to simply wash your hair less often. If this isn't practical then you want to look at changing the products you use to avoid harsh detergents and chemicals. Once you have done this it will be simple to keep your scalp from getting dry in the future.

To start the healing process choose one of the remedies for dry scalp that uses natural ingredients and contains jojoba or coconut oil to help your body restore natural oil production. If you have dandruff use a shampoo that contains zinc pyrithione or selenium sulfide, but only once a week so as not to over-dry the scalp. Dry scalp can be a problem of the past if you respect your skin and use gentle effective products.

There are many shampoos that are being advertised as hair growth shampoos. Do these shampoos really help to promote faster growth or are they just a marketing gimmick? A search on the Internet and one can find answers that are on the both extremes of yes and no. Whose words are more credible? Let's find out in this article.

To derive at an informed conclusion about these shampoos, one has to look to Science. The first fact that one has to realize is that your tresses are essentially dead; no shampoo in the world can make the dead tresses grow. However what these shampoos do is stimulate growth at the scalp and root level.

A normal person's hair will grow at a rate of half an inch to three quarter of an inch a month. Research has proven that hair can grow faster. Even more interesting is the discovery that herbs can help to stimulate the anagen phase by up to 40%. One of the most effective herbs is hibiscus and its effects on growing hair are remarkable. The other herbs include pepper mint and Eclipta Alba.

In 2008, Arch Dermatol Res had a breakthrough discovery. His research centers on the effects of Eclipta Alba on hair growth activity in male albino rats. His findings revealed that the herb helped to quicken the process of growth, and the test subjects experienced growth as well as an increase in the number of hair follicles. This result was compared side by side against that of the effects of minodoxill, and the result favored the herb. This proves that hair growth shampoos can work and that your tresses can indeed be stimulated. The key is using the right herb in the right quantity in a shampoo. When doe correctly and when used as an ingredient, the shampoo can increase hair growth abilities.

A Good hair growth shampoo will not only stimulate the growth of new tresses, it will also help to boost the anagen phase, which is the growth phase of a person mane.

However, not all hair growth shampoos work in the same manner. There are many herbal shampoos that will aid in the growth process but not many contain the right herbs. Some shampoos also lack a sufficient amount of the herb for it to take effect. Many of these products have minuscule amounts of the herb; manufacturers do this just to slap on the herb's name on the label and brand is as a hair growth shampoo.

One effective product is called Mira hair shampoo. The Mira line also carries hair gel and oils. The herbs used in the products are carefully selected. With every Mira hair product comes a free herbal shampoo that is excellent for eliminating problems such as dandruff and itchy scalp. The product will also help in fast hair growth.

With these points it is obvious that your tresses can grow faster. All you need is the right hair growth shampoo and you will grow a long healthy mane

Psoriasis is a genetic, non-contagious disease that affects the skin and joints. There are different types of this disease but the most common is plaque psoriasis. This type affects the skin by inflaming lesions and then covering with scaly white flakes.

This is caused by skin cells replicating at a heightened rate reproducing at eight times faster than the normal. Since cells develop in a matter of days instead of a month, build-up on the surface, and results in inflamed and scaled lesions. The flaky and shiny scales are the accumulated dead cells. Psoriasis is itchy and can be very painful at times.

According to the National Psoriasis Foundation, psoriasis affects approximately two to three percent of the world's population. The World Psoriasis Day Consortium reports ~125 million people are affected. Although any part of the body can be affected by this disease, it is most prevalent in the areas of the scalp, knees, elbows and torso. There is no known scientific cure for psoriasis, but there are skin care products and solutions available that provide temporary relief from the symptoms and healing of lesions.

Generally, those afflicted with Psoriasis have lesions on their body and scalp, though there are numerous reported cases of lesions being restricted to the scalp alone. Scalp psoriasis affects portions of the forehead, neck and behind the ears. Symptoms can be mild with fine dandruff-like flakes to extremely severe cases, with crusted flakes that often lead to hair loss.

Scalp psoriasis is often mistaken for severe dandruff. It is a source of insecurity and embarrassment due to its unsightly appearance and is often misunderstood by many thinking that the disease is contagious. Though there are reported instances where scalp psoriasis has disappeared or healed unassisted, that is rarely the case. There are treatments available that can vary depending on the severity of the disease. Treatments fall into three categories:

Topical Treatments

Medications that are applied directly to the skin. These include lotions, creams, ointments, shampoos or gels that reduce inflammation, normalize healthy skin production and slow skin cell reproduction. Topical treatments can give relief to mild and moderate cases, and in some cases, have been known to heal psoriasis altogether. Application of Emu Oil has shown to disrupt the out-of-control production of cells and to reduce inflammation. Emu oil is an anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and is a transdermal moisturizer. It is used to heal wounds, rashes, burns, and scars and stretch marks.

Ultraviolet (UV) light or phototherapy or In-Home Soft Light Laser Application

If patients do not react favorably to topical applications, UV and laser light therapy is an option. Light exposure to UV either through direct exposure to the sun or with UV combs, tends to slow cell production. Patients often are required to shave all or part of their hair to allow maximum exposure. An alternative is soft light laser treatment.

Systemic & Medication Treatments

Either taken internally or with an injection. These are used for severe cases of scalp psoriasis and hair loss is a common side effect. Having a systemic treatment will usually clear scalp psoriasis but these treatments should only be prescribed by a dermatologists.

Scalp psoriasis will often subside with nominal treatment - either topical applications, exposure to sunlight, or by supplementing treatments with hair care that focuses on deep cleaning, moisturizing and healing the scalp. It is unusual for patients to suffer long periods of extreme scalp psoriasis if they seek medical help immediately and follow the treatments prescribed.

An itchy scalp is a very common and very annoying problem. There are many products out there on the store shelves that claim to treat and soothe an itchy scalp problem, along with the dandruff, and other side effects, however, many of these products contain synthetically produced industrial-strength chemicals which can do more harm than good in the long run.

If you have a sensitive scalp or are allergic to any of the ingredients or chemicals, then it is more than likely that these products can cause and aggravate your itchy scalp condition.

Many folks these days are looking for natural herbal alternatives to treat their skin conditions and ailments and an itchy scalp problem is no exception. You see, as modern medicine has developed we seem to have abandoned many practices and natural treatments that were perfectly normal and effective in days gone by. The good news is that natural herbal remedies are effective at treating many common skin conditions and can be used when wondering how to soothe an itchy scalp.

Here I'll give you some quick tips on what you can do starting today to help to soothe your itchy scalp.

Identify and Change Your Hair Products

As mentioned earlier, in many cases an itchy scalp problem can be caused and certainly aggravated by simply using the wrong hair products, or an allergic or hypersensitivity to some of the ingredients.

Dandruff which is normally a side effect or accompaniment to an itchy scalp, is a fungal problem, in that funguses grow and thrive on the skin of the scalp. Changes in the scalp conditions, for example excessive dryness caused by strong chemicals can cause and increase the dandruff problem, due to changes in your immune system. However, Dermatitis, which is an excessive form of dandruff is actually a non-fungal dandruff, and is commonly the result of irritation directly from a product.

The worst culprits for irritation and general nastiness are the following types of chemicals. The next time you buy a shampoo take a look at the label and see how many you can identify:

Formaldehyde - inexpensive preservative and disinfectant; also a suspected cancer-causing toxin

Sodium Laureth Sulphate (SLS) - also used as an engine de-greaser

Alkyl-Phenol Ethioxlades - a chemical used in shampoos that has been shown to reduce sperm count

Selenium Sulfide - used in anti-dandruff shampoos and can cause irritation to skin, mucous membranes and eyes.

Pretty nasty stuff, huh?

To soothe an itchy scalp you can begin by changing your shampoo. Look for a 100% natural pH-balanced shampoo, ideally one containing Tea Tree Oil. The tea tree oil will help rebalance the condition of your scalp and fight off any infection. Adding an essential like Lavender or Chamomile will help to soothe an itchy scalp.
