There can be many causes for dandruff. It could be dryness of skin, not cleaning properly and regularly, too much shampooing usage, seborrhoea dermatitis, eczema, scalp psoriasis, allergy, or a yeast-like fungus. A dandruff build-up affects the hair follicles also as it gets accumulated at the scalp and around the hair roots and doesn’t let the required oxygen reach it. Almond oil helps in softening of dandruff which loosens its hold on the scalp and can be easily cleaned out when shampooing after the oiling.
Pollution, heat, dust, and chemicals in hair products can get built up in hair and affect it by causing inflammation and infection. Not taking proper care to avoid these factors leads to weak hair, dandruff, etc. The anti-inflammatory properties of almond oil soothe and reduce the inflammation.
Almond oil can be applied in various ways that are helpful in achieving healthy, beautiful hair. One way is to use it post-wash as a leave-in conditioner. All you need is to apply a few drops of the almond oil to your hair once it is dried off. It gives your hear a healthy shine and forms a layer that protects the hair from external harmful factors like pollution, dust, etc.
