Dandruff and Its Care

The most prevalent hair trouble is dandruff.

Simple Dandruff need cause no great anxiety if proper attention is given it. An oily tonic should be used for massage. Oily Dandruff is a sort of superficial crust formed by dust and scales and excess oil. Medical treatment in the way of tonics, deep breathing and careful eating are recommended. Ventilate the hair daily. Wash the hair once a month. Use a good astringent tonic.

Infectious or Destructive Dandruff is an exaggerated form of the disease. It is very infectious and may destroy the hair if not checked. Treatment should be prescribed by a specialist.
