Best Shampoo Bars For Dandruff
Share
While dandruff is very common, it doesn’t make it any less frustrating to live with. Not only is dandruff unsightly but it can also be itchy, painful and may even lead to hair loss in some more extreme cases.
With this said, it’s important to use a shampoo that doesn’t irritate your scalp and instead helps to moisturise and nourish it. While there are a range of bottled anti-dandruff shampoos on the market, shampoo bars may actually be a much more effective solution. Shampoo bars are all natural and feature no harsh chemicals, making them kinder on the scalp and reducing dandruff.
What causes dandruff?
The most prominent cause of dandruff is dry skin, a common issue amongst those who use shampoos which feature harsh chemicals, parabens and preservatives, all of which can play havoc with sensitive scalps.
Other common causes include eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, irritated or oily skin and even stress. With so many known causes, it’s no surprise that the majority of us will deal with dandruff at some point.
What are the symptoms of dandruff?
Skin flakes on your scalp, hair, eyebrows, beard or moustache are the most telling symptom of dandruff. If you have noticed skin flakes showing up on your clothes, it’s likely that you have dandruff.
You’ll probably also find that your scalp is noticeably scaly and crusty, as well as feeling itchy or irritated.
H2: Can dandruff be permanently cured?
Unfortunately, dandruff can’t be cured – or, at least, nobody has found a cure for dandruff just yet. However, dandruff can be controlled by using gentle shampoos and conditioners and ensuring that you wash your hair on a regular basis. Doing this consistently should make your dandruff more manageable.

Certain ingredients have been found to help manage dandruff when incorporated into your haircare routine:

- Coconut oil – coconut oil contains fatty acids that help to ease scalp irritation and rebalance the scalp’s microbiome
