Firstly, it is protection against ultraviolet radiation (indelible sprays and lotions most often contain UV filters), and secondly, they save dry, coarse, porous hair (the scales do not adhere tightly to each other, breaks of bonds between keratinocytes are formed, as leads to "dehydration"). When choosing a moisturizer, see the composition. It should contain glycerin, aloe (it binds water thanks to a complex polysaccharide), sugars, panthenol, inositol, hyaluronic acid (one molecule of hyaluronic acid can hold 200-500 water molecules), natural amino acids, Sodium PCA (moisture retaining agent).

There is no single answer to this question, because each agent is effective in its own area of \u200b\u200baction.

Sulfur ointment is used exclusively to treat dry dandruff, whereas zinc - for the treatment of oily seborrhea.

Salicylic ointment is used in both cases, but more often for the treatment of oily seborrhea, since its powerful drying effect may not always be useful for dry scalp.

In any case, before using the drug, you must consult a dermatologist who will prescribe the desired ointment, the concentration that is right for you.

ATTENTION: the concept of the concentration of the ointment is very important. A conniving attitude to this aspect can lead to irreversible consequences.

As a chemical, the three types of ointments have a number of contraindications that must be considered when applied. It:

• period of pregnancy;
• lactation period;
• should be used with caution to treat seborrhea, scabies, eczema or diaper rash infants, only after consulting a pediatrician;
• sulfuric ointment is unacceptable to use with brittle, weakened hair.

Each is good in its own waybut in traditional medicine, however, more often only three types are used: sulfuric, salicylic and zinc.

But, in addition to using pharmaceuticals, the following conditions are necessary for the treatment of seborrhea:

• conducting healthy way life (refusal from alcohol and tobacco products);
• increased physical activity;
• saturation sunlight which contributes to the production of vitamin D in the body, the main vitamin for healthy hair, skin and nails.
