does coconut oil cause dandruff - #25256
I am really struggling with this dandruff issue! Like, for months now, I've been dealing with this itchy scalp, and it gets super dry, especially in winter. I tried switching shampoos, hoping that would help, but nothing seems to work. A friend mentioned that using coconut oil might be good for my hair, you know, like moisturizing and everything? But now, I'm kinda worried—does coconut oil cause dandruff? Like, I don’t want to make my situation worse, right? Last week, I applied coconut oil and kept it on overnight, but then a couple of days later, I felt like my scalp was just, ugh, even worse. Are there any specific herbs or treatments in Ayurveda that can help with this itchiness while not exacerbating the dandruff? Do you think coconut oil causes dandruff for everyone, or it's just me? I really wanna fix this! Any suggestions or insights would be amazing—please help!
