Dandruff and hair loss can be really embarrassing for the person experiencing it and sometimes they feel that there is no way to prevent it. Besides the obvious Head and Shoulders solution, below we offer five ways to prevent dandruff that you maybe didn’t know about.

#1 Look to Your Diet
We say this a lot, but a healthy diet is crucial for the health of your hair and scalp. Make sure you are getting the proper nutrients in your diet, such as protein and fiber. Get plenty of zinc, omega-3 and fatty acids in your diet as well. Salmon is good for omega-3. Dandruff is caused by a fungus and healthy body will alter how your body reacts to this fungus that causes the dandruff.

#2 Don’t Stress
Stress only adds more stress on other parts of your health and body as well.

#3 Don’t Overdo the Products
Don’t layer hairspray on top of gel on top of shine spray and so on. This not only clogs up your pours on the scalp but it could even trigger allergic reactions as well. If you start to use a product and notice dandruff, stop using the product and limit the products as much as possible.

#4 Try a Dandruff Shampoo
There is more than just head and shoulders out there to treat dandruff. Look at the active ingredients and test the products to see which one works best for you and your scalp.

#5 Try Oils
If anti-dandruff shampoos don’t work, try using herbal oils to remedy the situation. Try Dhathri Dandruff Oil to treat the scalp.

Dandruff and hair loss are difficult to deal with at times and can leave people feeling frustrated and embarrassed. The key here is to not stress, determine the cause, and find a treatment that works for you. As always, if the problem persists, visit a doctor to see what is causing the dandruff.
