For many, having dandruff is a deep secret that makes them lose confidence in meeting people and talking to them. 

Dandruff, a problem caused by many, can result in people living in fear of wearing dark colors because flakes are very visible on these clothes. Dandruff can also be physically uncomfortable as it can cause dryness and itching.

Getting rid of dandruff is not a one-time thing. Like skin care, scalp care needs to be consistent in order for it to work.

Keep your scalp healthy and dandruff-free with these tips:

Manage your stress

Stress doesn't necessarily cause dandruff, but it can aggravate triggers of symptoms like itching and dryness. What can help you manage stress is a balanced diet and relaxation activities and techniques such as yoga, talking a walk and meditation.

Boost your immune system

Dandruff may become worse when you're sick. Make sure you are always strong and healthy by boosting your immune system with a healthy diet, regular exercise and keeping up with all recommended vaccines.

Leave on your shampoo for a bit longer

When you're using an anti-dandruff shampoo like Selsun Blue, leave the shampoo on for 3-5 minutes, depending on the severity of your dandruff to give the ingredients time to work.

Consult a board-certified dermatologist

If your dandruff remains persistent even after you've exhausted all means to manage it, maybe it's time to consult a board-certified dermatologist. A doctor can make a professional diagnosis as sometimes, what appears to be dandruff isn't what it seems to be and prescribe stronger treatments. 

Choose the right shampoo

Selsun Blue is a line of anti-dandruff shampoos formulated with Selenium Sulfide 1%, an ingredient which attacks the root source of dandruff. Selsun Blue is clinically proven for effective dandruff control with laboratory tests proving it controls dandruff and its recurrence.

Selsun Blue comes in two variants, the 2-in-1 that softens and moisturizes the hair with Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin B5, and the other one with menthol to help control scalp itching. Both variants contain extract of natural French Honey to restore hair and scalp hydration for long lasting moisturization. 

Selsun Blue is meant to be used twice a week. Get your own bottle of Selsun Blue and see the difference in the way it helps you manage dandruff.
