Beard Dandruff

I have some research on this dandruff. ANd I have come up with the least expensive solution for both scalp and beard hair.

Firstly Dandruff as you know happens more in winter than summer and this is esp because the blood circulation during winter to areas covered by hair goes down and a typically a person with oily skin has a greasy scalp during this period. This greasy scalp then becomes flaky and starts to shed as dandruff.

The secret to removing this condition is more blood circulation to the affected areas esp scalp or near and below the beard. To increase circulation the best option is that when taking a shower, try to alternate between hot and cold water on your scalp. This will immidiately lift blood circulation in the area and you will immidiately notice a change in dandruff.

A lot of sunshine on the scalp or beard will also reduce the incidence of dandruff because your skin will then sweat and blood circulation will naturally increase.

But since sunshine isn't always possible in winter, the alternating between cold and hot water idea is the best.

If you have dandruff you tend to have dry itchy skin. So you will scratch the area, this will cause irritation etc with the eventual result of the bodies inflammation reaction being invoked. This will lead to the arterio venus anastomoses and pre capillary sphincters relaxing so there will be plenty of blood circualting in the area, but no relief.

Best bet is to try Nizoral or T-Gel shampoo. These are expensive but are much better than the cosmetic shampoos you cna buy in supermarkets for controlling dandruff.

:) i know what that means :cool: lol... seriously though what did u jus say?

Ummm.... ok basically if you scratch too much the area gets red, that is a sign of inflammation. The reason for the area getting red is that the underlying capillary beds are full of blood. For the blood to get to the area the supply to the area is basically relaxed. The arteriol (artery supplying the area relaxes so blood rushes to the area), the pre capillary sphincters control blood flow to capillary beds and these also relax. Hey presto lots of blood in the area. The Arterio venous anastomoses I guess would dilate not relax to ensure the blood did not bypass the capillary beds on its way to the venule.

I am no medical expert but I am sure we have a biologist/physiologist and maybe a GP on the boards who can clarify what I have said is correct or garbage.

ooh acha i get u now :TH:

I have been trying this 'wash in hot and then wash in cold water' method for more than a month now and for the first time this winter, I have no dandruff or itchy scalp. Earlier my scalp used to itch like crazy whenever I eat spicy food or walked some distance in winter.

Contrary to perception there I have no headache or cold.

Applying warm oil or desi ghee like lubricants have some issues like you need someone to massage the oil on the head. Because the objective of massage is again to increase the blood circulation to the area and one has to do it for a long time if it is to be affective in raising blood circulation. And sparing that amount of time might be a constraint sometimes for some people.

The main objective in any case is to increase blood circulation to the scalp.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
