Symptoms of Dandruff
Dandruff not only gives a non-aesthetic look to a person, but is often accompanied by unpleasant itching and reddening of the skin of the head. In this regard, people often look for different ways to get rid of this pathology: they use medicinal shampoos and masks, use medical ointments and drops.
But they never think that ordinary salt is an effective way to cope with dandruff.
Salt and its properties
Many centuries ago, salt was deficient, it was difficult to get it, and it was expensive, so people developed various diseases due to the lack of salt in the body. Now the situation has changed radically, this product is sold at every grocery store and is worth a penny.
In which cases salt is necessary for scalp:
- hair is lifeless and often falls out
- abundant secretion of fat secretion by the sebaceous glands (oily seborrhea),
- prevention of gray hair.
Contraindications under which you should not use salt:
- damage to the skin (abrasions, scratches, wounds, etc.),
- increased intracranial pressure, accompanied by severe headaches.
Salt properties:
- perfectly removes dead skin particles,
- possesses antifungal action (inhibits the fungus-pathogen),
- improves blood flow
- stimulates hair follicles to grow new hair,
- strengthens hair roots.
Salt
In the treatment of seborrhea using conventional table salt, which a person uses in everyday life. Along with the cooking also apply and sea salt. Treatment can be carried out using pure salt or various hair masks with its content.
Then it is necessary to rub it in light circular movements into the hair roots, as if making a massage, for 3-5 minutes then rinse with warm water using hypoallergenic shampoo or soap. The procedure can be repeated. 2-3 times a week, throughout the month.
Salt mask on the basis of nettle decoction. Nettle leaves (2 teaspoons) pour 100 ml boiling water and leave to infuse, then filter. In the resulting solution, add 2 tbsp. spoons of salt and mix thoroughly until the salt is completely dissolved. The solution is applied only to the hair roots (it is convenient to use a brush), after application, it is necessary to rub the solution into the roots with the tips of your fingers and leave for 30-40 minutes having previously wrapped the head with cling film (or wearing a cellophane cap). Then rinse with warm water.
Sea salt
Sea salt contains much more beneficial microelements than the cooked product. It contains iodine, iron, sodium, zinc and many more different substances that the body needs. In addition, she has the following properties:
- antibacterial (inhibits microbes and microorganisms),
- exfoliating (allows you to get rid of dead skin particles),
- massage (large crystals of the product perfectly massage the skin, with their rubbing, blood flow improves),
- firming (sea salt effectively penetrates the skin and hair follicles, nourishing them and saturating them with microelements).
Sea salt is used in the same cases as the cooked product (the recipes are described above, in which it is necessary to replace table salt with sea salt).
Salt Rules
Important! People suffering from dry seborrhea are not recommended to use salt in its pure form! It is used in conjunction with other moisturizing products in the composition of the masks.
Fundamental rules, which must be adhered to in the treatment of dandruff salt:

We get rid of dandruff, thinner, we clean ourselves outside and inside. This is all salt. Great review with recipes and comments.
Salt is a substance, without which we no longer represent our diet. Looking at this familiar product, we can only guess how important and necessary it is. So, in the recall - the history of salt, recipes for its use and diet methods for losing weight and better health.
. A bit of history.
Homer says in the Odyssey:
“Wander. until you come to the country of mortals who do not know the sea and have never tasted the food seasoned with salt. "
ANDA lot of people learned about using NaCl by looking at animals that licked blocks of rock salt. Instead, it used ash, sea salt and even the blood of animals.
Salt has always been a value for which sometimes even had to fight. In our civilized world, food salt is not uncommon, but you don’t really want to be left without it, right?
. Recipes.
ABOUTthe scrub for the scalp on airek did not say just lazy, but this is not the only way to use salt.
I must say: I have been using all these recipes for a long time, everything has been tested on myself!
I use this scrub exactly with the same frequency with which I used usual commercial scrubs earlier, that is, about once a week or two, as needed.
We need two components:
I take the usual salt of salt, not "Extra", so that it does not melt so quickly.
Apply as usual - massage in a circular motion.
Differences from good purchased scrubs, I did not notice.
Pros: almost free, great effect, pleasant aroma, it can also be quickly and easily prepared while in the shower.
Minuses: If there are wounds on the skin, scratches, and also after epilation and depilation, it is not necessary.
Due to the fact that the salt in the cream or lotion dissolves more slowly than in water, I use it. In this case - "Intensively moisturizing lotion" from AVON.
Mix to a proportion of thick slurry and apply on problem areas - sides, legs, abdomen. If you like to go after a scrub with a warming anti-cellulite cream, refrain until tomorrow, because we don’t need the effect of a “pop in the fire”. But I recommend the subsequent massage with vacuum cans.
Such a scrub well contributes to the "acceleration of blood" due to the oil, the lotion makes the skin velvety, and the salt helps to cleanse it and soften it.
With this scrub, you can destroy black dots. The only caveat - you need to use salt "Extra", or skip the stone through a coffee grinder.
First stage - we steam face skin.
How to do it, they know everything. Namely: pour into the pot
2 cm of water, set on fire. As it boils, remove from the heat and add dry chamomile, about 2 tablespoons. We cover with a lid and give a little insistence (
2-3 minutes). Then covered with a towel and do well-known inhalation. It is useful not only for the skin of the face, but also for the respiratory tract, since chamomile has an antiseptic and soothing effect.
After inhalation chamomile decoction do not pour out.
Have you fired up? Good. Scrub!
For oily and combination skin:
Salt + Facial Cleanser or cosmetic cream,
We knead to the state of thick slurry and carefully distribute over the entire face, avoiding the eyelids, and paying particular attention to the problem zone "T".
For dry skin:
Salt + face cream. The procedure is identical, but do not overdo it!
After the procedure, wash off the composition from the skin with the same chamomile broth, if it seems a little or hot - diluted with warm water. In the end - soak a towel.
Due to emollient products in the form of milk or cream, you are guaranteed not to harm the skin, and after the procedure you will want to touch your face all the time, it will become so velvety.
Black dots will disappear gradually. They noticeably decrease after the first procedure.
You should not apply this scrub, if the face has fresh wounds.
Cream or milk can be replaced with traditional cosmetics - cream or sour cream.
With this scrub, I personally cured three dandruff people, and myself too. Reputed to be a family doctor
But remember that the causes of its occurrence are different, and if it appeared because of the fungus, the salt will not help! My “patients” got dandruff from dry skin and inappropriate shampoo.
Here are two steps:
1. Scrub the scalp with salt
In addition to the popular reasons for this procedure, such a scrub will help exfoliate the extra skin particles - the very “snow” that falls on the shoulders.
Here everything is much simpler: we add quite a bit of water to the full palm of salt, and rub it over the partings. Also do not particularly borscht with intensity, otherwise you will only make it worse.
Then - the usual "wash", shampoo + balm.
As soon as the hair is dry.
2. The second stage - nourish dry skin!
I did it differently. The basic recipe is:
- Hair Mask
- Shea butter, heated to a liquid state (but you can absolutely anything - coconut, for example)
Mix the ingredients and apply on the scalp. Keep have about half an hour.
Dandruff passes without a trace through 1-2 procedures. If it did not help, you will have to go to the trichologist, perhaps you have a fungus.
A very sensational method of using table salt is a scrub for the scalp and hair for cosmetic purposes.
What does this give us?
As in the case of getting rid of dandruff, we remove old skin flakes, thereby obtaining several advantages:
- Lush volume
- Pleasant feeling of lightness
Personally, I have not noticed more positive moments. As for getting rid of the silicones contained in shampoos and balms, I can not say anything, because my damaged hair needs them.
Remember that salt dries, and if you have dry tips, before the procedure, apply any oil on them (burdock, for example).
The procedure is very simple:
Take a handful of salt, drip in there any essential oil (I prefer mint, eucalyptus, lemon) and begin the massage. Try to follow the massage lines - moving to the forehead.
Of course, it is ideal to spend this almost spa treatment in a sauna or a bath, but at home the effect is impressive. True, a little washes away the paint from the hair, but this is sometimes required.
The result I got is this: (I apologize for the angle, I photograph myself
For some reason, the hair in a semi-dry form began to curl (in general, I have curly hair, but because of the dyeing I straightened), and after drying, they became as you see in the second photo. The tips were dry, had to use the serum. Well, the color is partially washed off (red locks - henna).
Yes, salt still holds water. It can also cause hypertension. But you know not salt to blame for this, but its excessive consumption. The fact is that we can get used to overdoing food, regularly getting more than we need. The most "harmless" consequence is the retention of excess water in the body.
In fact, you can’t completely refuse salt. But to adjust its consumption can and should be! Salt-free diet is not the principle of complete rejection of salt. Salt is possible, but very moderately, just to give a more saturated taste to the product, and also not to disturb the water-salt balance of the body.
To lose weight on such a diet is possible, but remember that the weight will leave only at the expense of water. Dehydrating the body is deadly, especially in the heat. Therefore, you should not get involved.
Without salt and bread is not eaten.
Salt is an important part of our diet. She should be respected and appreciated, and also - the most important thing - to know her measure. This product exists so that we are full and beautiful, so let us be!
Medicinal properties of salt
Salt is considered a powerful antiseptic. It can be safely called a medicine for all occasions. Salt has very important qualities for fighting dandruff:
- Exfoliating action. Salt crystals can serve as a good scrub, scraping off dead skin particles. As a result, the skin stops itching, and the hair looks much better.
- Relugation of sebum secretion. Salt normalizes the sebaceous glands, thereby removing excess sebum.
- Accelerate hair growth. Salt stimulates blood supply to the hair roots.

Shampooing without shampoo
Wet your hair first, then apply moistened salt to the scalp. This should be done gently, massaging movements, and not intensively. Apply salt to quickly, and then immediately wash off. Otherwise, you do not cure dandruff, but only aggravate everything. To prevent hair from losing gloss, after washing off, apply a special oil or conditioner on it.
Banana mask
You will need a ripe banana with blackened skin. Using a blender, make a gruel of it. The peel can not be removed, it contains a lot of useful substances, but the tail must be cut off. Add one tablespoon of salt to the banana mass, then apply it to clean hair. Spread mousse from root to tip.After half an hour, rinse thoroughly with water at room temperature. This mask is very useful and nutritious. Useful elements contained in a banana make hair more voluminous and lush, and water nourishes the scalp and prevents flaking..
Shampooing with shampoo and salt
If you have any wounds on the scalp, it is best to refrain from such a procedure.
Apply wetted salt to damp skin and immediately rinse with water at room temperature. This is very important, as hot water and salt will irritate the skin. After that, apply a little shampoo hair and rinse hair. Apply balm.
Dandruff salt how to apply
Salt, as an effective remedy for dandruff and hair loss, was used even by our grandmothers.
This treatment is very simple and effective and is explained by the fact that a high concentration of salt is detrimental to microorganisms, including fungus, leading to the appearance of dandruff.
In addition, salt is a good massage tool that increases blood circulation in the scalp. For rubbing into the scalp, you can use both regular and sea salt.
Salt should be rubbed into the scalp after each wash in slightly towel-dried hair. It is necessary to use coarse salt and rub it in about 15 minutes. Then rinse the hair with warm water. The procedure must be repeated until the complete disappearance of dandruff.
Salt can be mixed with yogurt, egg or kefir for rubbing into hair, but after rubbing, this dandruff mask with salt remains on the hair for about half an hour under a plastic bag. And only after the time has elapsed it is washed off with warm water.
In addition to the detrimental effect on the fungus, salt for hair can normalize the action of the sebaceous glands, stimulate hair growth and prevent their loss.
It should be remembered that if dandruff is not eliminated by popular methods for a long time, you should definitely consult a trichologist. Properly selected timely treatment will return the beauty to your hair, and you will be confident and in a good mood.
