Tons of dandruff all of a sudden!!!!!! :O


Question Posted Tuesday February 20 2007, 6:44 pm

i came home from vacation to find my scalp very dry, crusty, and nasty!! I haven't used any new products on it,and i use conditioner. My family and i spent the weekend at a water park where the water had so much chlorine in it, it was green and hurt your eyes a lot. Could this be the cause of the dry skin? And how can i get rid of it very quickly without buying special shampoo? And if this is not the cause of it, what else could it be? Thanks for all your help, I rate!!

Hey I definatly recommend Head and Shoulders for shampoo. It works excellent, it moistens your scalp and gets rid of the dandruff. I know you didn't want to go out and get special shampoo but its not too much money and you can get it anywhere. :) Hope I helped.

I used to use Head & Shoulders. It really works well for dandruff because it does moisten your scalp.

Rinse your hair with fresh water immediately after swimming and don't allow chlorine to dry on your hair. Wash your hair when you're finished swimming with a shampoo which is designed to repair damage caused by swimming in chlorinated pools.

Look for a shampoo which is pH balanced, contains sodium thiosulfate to dissolve chlorine, and which will replace protein eroded by chlorine exposure. Don't brush your hair when it's wet. Let it dry naturally, then brush only with a wide-toothed comb to lessen the chance of breakage.

Try to limit the use of blow dryers, electric curlers and curling irons -- they further dry out already dry hair.

Damaged hair can be partially repaired by conditioning while you swim. Before beginning a workout, apply a protective conditioner to your hair and cover it with a latex or silicone bathing cap. Heat generated during water exercise or swimming will provide a heat-conditioning treatment.

Wearing a conditioner while swimming will also prevent chlorine from being absorbed into, and damaging your hair, in the first place.

Yes, the chlorine definately will cause dandruff. If you don't want to buy shampoo get Apple Cider Vinegar. when you take a shower put it on your scalp and let it sit for a while before rinsing it out.
I dunno why. but it seems to work better than Head and Shoulders for me.

P.S. Don't over-wash your hair. that will only make it worse
