There are times when you might see something that looks like small snow flakes in your child's hair, on her scalp. This more than likely is dandruff. Dandruff is not contagious and most of the time it is not a serious condition.
Dandruff is a very common scalp condition (among all races of people) that causes the skin on your scalp to itch and flake up. The condition is generally explained as a scalp reaction that causes the natural cycle of skin replenishment to occur more quickly on your scalp.
No worries, dandruff can be controlled fairly easily. If you have a mild case of dandruff, you can get it under control by shampooing your hair regularly with a gentle shampoo. However, if you have a more severe case of dandruff, medicated shampoos or physician assistance may be necessary.
Dandruff is a condition that is usually simple to diagnose. If there are flakes of dead skin present in your hair and on your shoulders coupled with an itchy scalp, there is a good chance that you have dandruff. The condition can be impacted by the climate that you live in. Fall and winter months are usually the most difficult times of the year for people with dandruff due to indoor heating contributing to dry skin and scalp. Dandruff usually improves during the summer months.
Tea tree oil has been medically proven to be a natural anti-fungal and functions as a good disinfectant. You can mix 5-10 drops of tea tree oil in your shampoo and wash your hair as normal. I believe the method is more effective after shampooing your hair, mix 1 tablespoon of tea tree oil into 1 cup of warm water or Aloe Vera juice, spray into your scalp and let it sit for a few minutes. Gently pat the extra moisture out, but don’t wash it out.
