Dandruff is a very common skin condition that nearly all people experience at one point of time in their lives, regardless of age or ethnicity. It affects not just the scalp, but any hair-bearing area or an area with even very small hair follicles.

So, what causes dandruff?
Contrary to old wives’ tales, dandruff isn’t caused by too much shampooing or dry skin. Hence, some people avoid washing their hair, believing that the drying effect of shampoo will worsen their dandruff! Due to this, the scalp is not cleansed enough and the scales build up into larger and more noticeable flakes, before they fall off the skin. Not many are aware, that dandruff begins with an unbalanced diet and poor nutrition. It is further triggered by overactive oil glands, food allergies, stress, excessive perspiration, harsh shampoos and dust. Emotional stress can also worsen the condition. Even the seasons of the year can contribute to the problem. For instance, cold and dry winters are notorious for bringing on dandruff or making it worse.
