If you are a bike enthusiast, there is nothing you look forward to other than taking a break and getting on your bike. Riding away to an unknown location is probably the best thrilling experience you can live by. Be it an adventurous ride or just a leisurely ride on an open road, we all discuss the importance of the right bike and gear.
I never compromise my safety by deciding to not wear a helmet. However, there is one problem that we all share as bikers but do not discuss enough: HAIR WOES caused by the use of HELMET! Having been a biker myself for more than a decade, I can assure you that there is nothing more frustrating than a sweaty mess of hair.
Whichever part of the world you live in, there is always going to be sweat every time you put that helmet on while riding. Sweaty hair eventually causes favorable conditions for the growth of a certain type of fungi and that can, in the end, result in dandruff.10 We wouldn’t want that, would we? Everyone has their own way of tackling this problem, some say use a helmet that allows enough airflow. While others say adapt your hairstyle accordingly and use minimum accessories while riding. Amidst the fact that none of these things were working for me, I realized something. If I use the right product that helps fight the effects of wearing a helmet on my head after the ride, I shouldn’t have to worry about it while I ride my bike. And after a bit of research, I found this anti-dandruff product that I had been looking for: Selsun Suspension 2.5% shampoo!
Selsun by Abbott is a medicated anti-dandruff shampoo that has been around in India for many years. It contains selenium sulfide, a medicated ingredient that effectively treats the root cause of dandruff i.e. it kills a certain type of fungi, whose overgrowth may cause dandruff. Meaning, it treats dandruff as well as controls it from coming back. Besides, it also provides relief from itching, flaking, and redness of scalp caused due to dandruff. It is a unisex shampoo with a good fragrance, and it should be used twice a week for the first two weeks and then only if necessary, for best results.
In Dandruff, choosing the right product is a must in order to achieve healthy hair and scalp even after a long and strenuous bike ride. Selsun Suspension 2.5% by Abbott will help you embrace a hair care routine that will allow you to get rid of dandruff and keep your scalp clean.
Again, I repeat, I never compromise my safety by deciding to not wear a helmet despite facing hair related problems such as dandruff. But trust me, the messy hair after you pull back your helmet after an exciting ride is worth it if you can manage your hair related concerns by using the right hair care products. Apart from my riding gear, Selsun Suspension 2.5% has also become a part of my riding essentials these days. This is one product that I would recommend out of my hair care routine because I know I can #BeSelsunSure. After all, a good hair day is enough to revitalize everybody’s mood.
