What causes dandruff?

Gutsqlf

I recently tried to elmininate most harmful beauty products from my life, the only one I still need is shampoo.

I also tried hydrating myself more, I drank about 2,5 Liters per day but it didn't do anything.

If someone has an explanation for dandruff or a solution I would like to hear it.

Thanks

from what I understand most treatments just target the fungus that causes it, but it will only manage it, not cure it. topical treatments will only help the symptons, not the root. I think this is evident with a lot of skin conditions where factors like stress can make it worse, which I think points to issues more like managing inflammation. If it was purely just a fungal thing surely it could be eradicated, and they wouldn't care a whole lot about your stress levels. There are better experts, I would defer to someone like grimhood on the question of inflammation in the body.

your scalp might be dry and damaged - try going 2 weeks without washing your hair
wash irregularly, and when you do, massage with coconut oil after you're done

personally I think the ''drink 2L daily'' thing is propaganda but be sure u're getting enough animal fat from your diet as well

Coconut Oil and Apple Cider Vinegar left in hair over night.
Use a raw egg as shampoo. whisk whole egg or just egg yolk.
Many skin conditions stem from your body removing the toxins from a leaky gut so I focused on diet.

Oregano Oil supplement on an empty stomach

Also switch to mineral water.

sov Brother how much do you wash your hair?

Because i heard somewhere that bathing too much with egg and give your scalp too much protein and that can be bad. They said to only do it twice a month as too much not more

Which book or link talks more about this subject? I do nopoo with just water but still my hair has dundruff.

What is the natural way to wash the hair?

Thank you

I think it's shampoo that causes dandruff but can also be other things that need to get out due to bad treatment in the past. My dandruff stopped on raw animal diet after a year perhaps.
