Hello Everyone:)-Warning! Too much sun can causedandruff if you are not careful

[Guest guest]

Dandruff isn't only caused by sun and it most certainly does not attract lice. Lice, by preference, go for crystal clean hair, as they bite into the scalp, they're not going to be interested in digging through layers of flaky skin to get to their meal. Most dandruff, oddly enough, is caused either by oily skins, hair that's not rinsed properly, leaving shampoo chemicals on the scalp, or fungal infections. The thing is to find the reason why you have dandruff. Too many hours in the sun can cause a dry, flaky skin, which is easily remedied by appropriate moisturising, hair included.

Hello Everyone:)-Warning! Too much sun can causedandruff if you are not careful

Warning! Too much sun can cause scalp dryness leading up to dandruff. It is true, you can get dandruff just by spending to much time in the sun. With those hot sun rays beating down on your head, penetrating through your hair, it cause dryness to your scalp. The shorter your hair is, the worse a "burn" could be. With longer hair though, you run the chance of dandruff forming throughout your strands.To fully understand the extent of the situation, you have to understand how harmful the ultraviolet rays from the sun are. They penetrate straight through your hair directly to your scalp. Add that to the sun's heat and you got a perfect condition for "evaporation". This means that all of the moisture in your hair is being soaked up. Taking moisture from your hair leads you to a dry scalp, then on to dandruff, and if you are not careful-psoriasis.A dry scalp can be a little painful. It is more irritating than anything though. Dandruff on the other hand is a potentially more serious problem, and it can be very embarrassing for you. It is also kind of "tricky" to really rid yourself of it once, you get it. With dandruff forming and thriving throughout your scalp and hair, you could develop a risk of "head lice". Head lice eggs can form throughout your hair and add to the flaky white spots that look like dandruff. If you thought dandruff was hard enough to get rid of, wait till you come into contact with a batch of head lice.Knowing a helpful tip like the sun can affect your hair will help you reduce the risk of coming into contact with dandruff. Nobody can actually "prevent" dandruff as it can occur to anyone at anytime, but knowing and educating yourself on useful information like this can help you avoid an itchy, flaky, irritable, embarassing lifestyle.Ralph Ruckman is the author of "Dandruff".
