What causes dandruff and hair loss?

Dandruff occurs when small pieces of hair start to flake off from the scalp because of the excess production of oil. As the skin layers continuously replace themselves, cells are pushed outwards where they die and begin to flake off. When dandruff persists, it results in persistent itching and scalp inflammation.

Infrequent washing of hair, painful rash caused by an irritant (also known as Contact Dermatitis) and dry skin are generally the main causes of dandruff.

Our anti-dandruff products

To achieve healthy and lustrous locks (along with a rejuvenated scalp), we first recommend oiling your hair regularly as it protects your hair from harsh outer radicals and helps fill the gap between hair cuticles. Our nourishing, cold-pressed Ayurvedic Herb Enriched Head Massage Oil Bhringraj is the perfect Ayurvedic anti-dandruff oil as it contains the finest quality herbs that help arrest hair loss, promote healthy hair growth, and improve its overall texture and volume. It is made from an ancient recipe, documented in the Vedas, which includes Black Sesame and Virgin Coconut Oil infused with Goat’s Milk and herbal extracts. The antimicrobial and antifungal properties of Bhringraj or False Daisy helps reduce dandruff and eliminate skin irritations on the scalp whilst also improving the scalp’s blood circulation.

After oiling the hair, it’s very important to cleanse it as regular washing of hair helps reduce the build-up which can cause excess sebum production, dead skin cells, redness and flakiness. Our SLS/SLES-free Hair Cleanser Bhringraj & Shikakai is the perfect Ayurvedic shampoo for dandruff as its nutrient-rich content of potent herbs and botanicals helps control hair thinning, breakage and promotes regrowth. Bhringraj (also known as ‘food for hair’ in Ayurveda) helps in premature greying while Shikakai and Liquorice extract control dandruff – without stripping the scalp and hair of its natural oils.

Finally, to finish off, using a conditioner to eliminate hair dandruff is important as its jam-packed with rich humectants and oils that make your hair soft, flexible and voluminous. Our Hair Conditioner Bhringraj & Shikakai — enriched with Coconut Milk, Liquorice, Bhringraj and Shikakai extracts — helps intensely nourish and repair the hair while also detangling and volumizing it from the root to the tip.

In Ayurveda, organically-found ingredients with natural fragrances are used because of their highly healing and repairing properties — and at Forest Essentials, we’ve combined the healing benefits of these ingredients that have been tried, tested and used since time immemorial to provide you with the perfect anti-dandruff hair products. Hence, you get the luxury of purity found in nature alongside the soothing, healing and repairing properties of the plants, herbs and flowers.

FAQs

Does dandruff cause hair fall and hair loss?

Though dandruff itself doesn’t cause hair fall and hair loss, its severity can cause a person to constantly scratch and itch their scalp so hard that they end up injuring it. Repeated inflammation in the hair follicles can cause hair damage and permanent scarring – slowing or stopping the growth of healthy hair, which causes it to become weak and thin.

What to do for dandruff and hair fall?

To help reduce hair dandruff and hair fall, incorporate the three basic steps in your hair care routine – using the double-boiler method, heat an Ayurvedic anti-dandruff oil and apply it generously onto the scalp and hair; leave it on for about 30 minutes and gently wash it off with a mild Paraben-free hair cleanser & finish by applying a nourishing conditioner of your choice.
