DANDRUFF DISCUSSION THREAD
-
Borax works pretty well in my experience, boron is antifungal
-
vitamin A by a very long shot
-
Enough calcium in th diet fixed dandruff for me. 2g per day from food.
-
Also following this thread! Idk what caused me to get dandruff since I had never had it, but it has been odd for sure. Even increasing calcium and Vitamin A don't seem to make a difference. It does some nutrition related bc when. I take something that is pro metabolic it increases my dandruff. Just have not been able to figure out how to correct it. I think I need to try and consistently take liver for a while though I do eat a really high nutrition diet, I also enjoy a lot of pro metabolic stuff like coffee and sugar.

@albion EMF gives me dandruff.

My take on Dandruff and related skin issues especially on the head/face is there are two separate things happening:
-
Some kind of autoimmune triggered issue, usually gut(food) related, which causes a degradation of the natural skin barrier allowing a fungal or bacteria infection to take root. In the case of scalp and face issues it mostly seems to be fungal.
-
The continued infection of the area separate to the cause or fixing of the initial trigger.
Example: You don't tolerate wheat very well, you eat a ton on holiday, you get a reaction which leads to dandruff or eczema on your face, and then despite coming home and cleaning up your diet and gut the problem persists.
So it's worth exploring all the topical solutions like anti-fungal agents Zinc Pyrithione, Sulfur, Salicylic Acid, etc, and even something like Hydrocortisone to help heal the skin barrier if it's quite bad, all whilst working on the root cause at the same time, as the fixing the root cause alone is not always sufficient.

Honestly, BLOO. Cleared up my dandruff quickly.

@thebodyelectric_ I've been using it almost daily. Completely replaced my shampoo and conditioner. My hair even seems to look better.
