Dandruff is the formation of white or gray colored flakes on the human scalp. Dandruff is a condition that occurs during normal formation on the scalp. Normally, scalp renewal occurs and they fall out, but some hairs grow rapidly and fall out, resulting in dandruff formation.
Dandruff can appear in various ways. Among them:
Dry skin: When the scalp becomes dry, the likelihood of dandruff increases.
Malassezia: Malassezia, a natural type of fungus on the scalp, can cause dandruff in some parts.
Hair products: Some hair products can cause damage or scarring on the scalp, leading to dandruff.
Hormonal changes: Hormonal changes such as puberty, pregnancy or menopause can cause dandruff.
Stress: Stress can trigger many different changes that can lead to scalp problems.
To prevent dandruff, it is important to keep the scalp moist, eat healthy, use the right hair care, reduce stress and clean the scalp regularly. There are also some dandruff shampoos and other treatments available. However, if the dandruff problem persists, it is recommended to see a dermatologist.
