Dandruff is a condition with increased itching and flaking over the scalp. Prolonged dandruff can weaken the hair. Dandruff can take time to clear. The initial treatment should be used for four to six weeks to see the effect. If the treatment doesn't work, changing or using products with different ingredients may be necessary. Hair fall can be seen because of dandruff. However, there are a lot of other factors that can play a role. It is essential to follow a healthy diet, keep stress to a minimum, exercise regularly, and get seven to eight hours of sleep a night. In case of hormonal problems, you may require additional treatment. Some cases also need supplementation of vitamins and other micronutrients. A dermatologist will guide you regarding the ideal course of action and what treatment is needed.
