Keshi Anti Dandruff Oil - #31099
I am really struggling with this dandruff issue, and I just feel like I’ve tried everything. A few months ago, I noticed my scalp getting super dry and flaky, and it’s been really embarrassing, especially when I wear darker clothes! I started using all kinds of shampoos, even natural ones, but none gave me a lasting solution. I heard about Keshi Anti Dandruff Oil from a friend who said it worked wonders for her. Honestly, I’m pretty skeptical about oils; I worry they might just make my hair greasy but, like, how bad could it be? I read that Keshi Anti Dandruff Oil is supposed to help with itchy scalps and nourish the hair. I decided to give it a shot but I haven't seen much difference yet. My scalp still feels pretty itchy and I get flakes every now and then. How long does it usually take for Keshi Anti Dandruff Oil to start showing results, if at all? Also, does anyone have tips on using it effectively? Should I massage it in daily? I’ve been feeling frustrated, ugh! Just want my scalp to be healthy again without the dryness or the embarrassment. Any advice from those who've used Keshi Anti Dandruff Oil would be super helpful. Thanks!


Doctors’ responses
Addressing dandruff can be a bit of a puzzle, and it sounds like you’ve been grappling with it for a bit! Let’s talk about Keshi Anti Dandruff Oil, which you’ve heard of. It’s got some Ayurvedic merits; the herbal blend often targets scalp itchiness and dryness, aiming for a balance rather than just a quick fix.
How long does it take? Well, oils like these typically need a little patience—two to four weeks to see noticeable changes in scalp health. It’s important to be consistent with application, but don’t rush into using it daily. This might indeed grease your hair too much. Usually two to three times a week is sufficient. You’re spot on with concern over greasiness: balance is key.
Massage is your friend here. Warm a small amount of oil—just enough to cover your fingertips. Gently massage it into your scalp with a circular motion. This not only helps distribute the oil but also stimulates blood flow and release stiffness and tensions in the scalp which can be beneficial. Leave it on for at least an hour or overnight if your scalp can tolerate it, then wash it out with a mild, natural shampoo that does not strip the natural oils.
As for extra tips, keep an eye on your diet and hydration. A Vata imbalance, common with dry scalp issues, benefits from warm, oily, and hydrating foods. Up your intake of omega-3 fatty acids, available in foods like flaxseeds or walnuts, and keep hydrated.
Avoid excessive hot showers or prolonged sun exposure which can strip the moisture out from your scalp. Stress less, as stress exacerbates scalp issues; a few moments of mindfulness or gentle yoga can help de-stress and aid overall health.
Patience and consistency are pretty much your best allies here, if the condition persists or worsen, visiting a dermatologist might be a sound course of action.
Keshi Anti Dandruff Oil can indeed offer relief from dry, flaky scalps, but its effectiveness largely depends on various factors like how you’re applying it, your scalp condition, and your overall lifestyle. Typically, results could start appearing within a couple of weeks, but for others, it might take a bit longer depending on how consistent and correct the application is.
To use it effectively, try applying the oil twice a week initially. Warm the oil slightly before application, as this can help increase its absorption into the scalp. Massage it gently but thoroughly into your scalp in circular motions for about 10-15 minutes. This enhances blood circulation and encourages the oil’s benefits to penetrate the hair follicles. Leave the oil in overnight, or at least for an hour before washing it out with a mild herbal shampoo that suits your scalp type.
It’s important to note, however, that while oils can offer relief, addressing the root cause of dandruff involves a bit more. According to Siddha-Ayurvedic principles, dandruff may be related to an imbalance in the doshas, particularly an increase in Vata dosha which brings dryness, or Kapha that leads to accumulation. Ensuring a balanced diet, rich in leafy greens, hydrating fluids, and reducing intake of sugars, processed foods or very oily items can help balance your doshas.
Also, ensure that your digestive fire, or agni, is balanced which can aid in reducing toxins or ama that might be aggravating the scalp condition. Warm water with a pinch of cumin seeds can be a gentle way to support digestion.
If after a few more weeks of consistent use you don’t notice improvement, or if symptoms worsen, it could indicate an underlying issue that might need professional consultation. Never delay seeking medical advice if any inflammation or severe flakiness arises.
