A Hair Care Treatment is used to manage certain conditions that affect the scalp and cause hair loss, a dry flaky and itchy scalp. There are many over the counter hair treatments that work very well for these conditions but a change in hair care habits works wonders.

Dandruff, which is the excessive flaking of dead skin cells from the scalp, can be a symptom of dermatitis, a fungal infection, or even head lice. Dandruff actually results when a naturally occurring fungus on the scalp, grows out of control and disrupts the production of new cells. The fungus thrives on the oil produced by the skin, so people who have oily scalps are much more likely to suffer from dandruff. Dandruff is also caused by over-active sebaceous (oil) glands, food allergies, soaps or shampoos with too much alkaline, yeast infection, stress, or even a genetic predisposition for dandruff. An over the counter Hair Care Treatment product for dandruff is a specially formulated anti dandruff shampoo which works efficiently.

Psoriasis is lesions present on the scalp and a result of an inherited auto-immune condition. Psoriasis can be present on any part of the body. Outbreak of psoriasis is stress related but genetics are the basis for susceptibility to the condition during times of stress. For this condition a dermatologist needs to be consulted and the appropriate hair treatment is corticosteroid creams which when applied twice a day work well.

Hair Care Treatment aim to provide temporary relief from scalp breakouts that can cause hair loss and discomfort from itching dry skin or unsightly flaking of the scalp.
