If there is one thing that most men can’t shake off, it’s dandruff problems. It’s one of those “guy things” that need attention not just because men admit they are actually meticulous about certain things, but because men’s genetic makeup also makes them more prone to dandruff. Unfortunately, men have certain activities and habits that may exacerbate this problem.
Dermatologists around the world affirm that dandruff is mainly caused by a yeast-like fungus called Malassezia. This fat-eating organism thrives on the scalp of even the healthiest among men without necessarily causing any trouble.
It becomes a major concern when it starts getting out of control, feeding on the scalp’s natural oils and causing great irritation. Dead skin cells appear faster than normal because of the uncontrollable fungus. These dead cells fall off in clumps that appear white and flaky.
Another major trigger for dandruff among men is excessive sweating. This may happen as a result of hot weather, strenuous sports activities, and even tight-fitting hats or caps.
Furthermore, it doesn’t help that most men have the tendency to pay less attention to hygiene (e.g. washing hair only occasionally or rinsing insufficiently). Inadequately washed hair may invite more oils to come out, thus feeding the Malassezia fungus and making the scalp more prone to dandruff.
Stress, anxiety, and tension are also possible causes of dandruff. Whether induced by physical activity through sports or work-related tasks, mental and emotional fatigue can also stimulate excessive oil production and perspiration. Since men are inclined to be hyperactive at work and at play, it is easy for them to become candidates for dandruff.
Dandruff can get worse depending on a guy’s daily hair care habits. Since guys have oilier hair and scalp, they have the tendency to wash their hair more often than necessary, not knowing that it can make the scalp more susceptible to dandruff. The same is true with frequent blow-drying and constant exposure to chemicals in certain styling products.
Dandruff may be rarely serious and not contagious, but it can be persistent and recurring. Prevention and control are best addressed by using anti-fungal shampoos like Clear Men, which is precisely engineered to address men’s scalp condition.
Clear Men contains zinc vitanol 2.0 that has zinc mineral complex and the nourishing elements of amino acids, Vitamin E, and sunflower oil. Amino acids are building blocks that help nourish the scalp and hair for continuous healthy hair and skin growth.
The antioxidant in Vitamin E is responsible for providing natural defense against free radicals. Sunflower oil is extracted from sunflower and is a known source of non-volatile oil.
Daily use of Clear Men can benefit male dandruff sufferers in six ways: removal of visible flakes, scalp nourishment, dryness relief, hair breakage prevention, having a refreshed and cool scalp, and itch prevention.
