If you do not take action in time, the hair will begin to fall out, which will further aggravate the situation. There are many anti-dandruff shampoos but not all of them are effective enough.
What should be a dandruff shampoo
In stores and pharmacies, you can find not only anti-dandruff shampoos, but also conditioners, lotions and various creams. But all these funds have only an auxiliary purpose, therefore they can help only at the initial stage of the disease.
Most of the advertised shampoos that are in the store are characterized by an exclusively preventive effect, and it is considered really effective medicated shampoo, which can be purchased at the pharmacy chain. Such cosmetics are produced not by cosmetic companies, but by pharmaceutical companies that have extensive experience in the production of medicines. Dandruff medicated shampoos should not be used regularly. They are used in courses, which are repeated if necessary.
A good anti-dandruff shampoo should meet these requirements:
- Have a pronounced antifungal effect;
- Possess bactericidal properties;
- Have a persistent anti-inflammatory effect;
- Be with an exfoliating action;
- Reduce the oiliness of the scalp.
In addition, an effective anti-dandruff shampoo must be completely safe and easy to use.
Types of dandruff shampoos
All anti-dandruff shampoos can be divided into groups, depending on the composition. In stores you can find antifungal, exfoliating and antibacterial shampoos... Lovers of everything natural can buy anti-dandruff shampoo based on natural extracts.
Antifungal
These shampoos contain antifungal medicines that have a detrimental effect on the pores of the fungus, prevent further spread and reduce itching. Most often, the active substance of such cosmetics is ketoconazole... This substance not only effectively fights dandruff, it can help in the treatment of many skin diseases that are triggered by fungi - lichen and seborrhea.
Such shampoos are most often sold through the pharmacy network and have a pronounced therapeutic effect. They are used as directed by a doctor or beautician.
Exfoliating
In this shampoo there are special components that have a kerato-regulating effect. Most often, the active substances are salicylic alcohol, sulfur, or zinc... All these components improve the condition of the scalp, reduce the secretion of fat and gently cleanse the scalp from dead particles. Thanks to this, the head gets dirty less often, the hair becomes clean and attractive.
Exfoliating shampoos cannot be classified as medicinal products. These cosmetic products are recommended to be used for preventive purposes to normalize the work of the sebaceous glands.
Antibacterial
These are concentrated anti-dandruff shampoos, which contain an antibacterial agent. Such cosmetics are used for serious skin or hair diseases. Two components can act as an active substance - zinc pyrithione or octoprirox... Antibacterial shampoo is recommended to wash your hair with seborrheic dermatitis, abscesses and other inflammatory skin diseases.
Antibacterial shampoos belong to medicinal products, they can be purchased not only in a cosmetics store, but also in a pharmacy.
Natural
Shampoos with herbal extracts contain components that promote gentle exfoliation of dead cells and prevent the spread of fungus. They have a mild healing effect, are hypoallergenic and can be used even for people with particularly sensitive skin. The active substance is Birch tar or ichthyol... Both of these substances normalize the work of the sebaceous glands and inhibit the vital activity of pathogenic fungi. Thanks to the action of such shampoos, the inflammatory process is reduced, flaking and itching are reduced.
You can regularly wash your hair with natural shampoos without harm to your health.
How to use anti-dandruff shampoo correctly
