Dandruff is a condition in which the skin on the scalp flakes off in flakes. It is not just caused by poor hygiene. The real causes behind dandruff are:
Malassezia fungus: This is a fungus found on the scalp of all adults. However, in some people, it grows excessively and sucks the oil from the scalp and quickly destroys the skin cells. This flakes off in flakes, which becomes dandruff.
Seborrheic Dermatitis: This condition is seen in people with oily skin. It is characterized by red skin and yellowish-white flakes. It can affect not only the scalp, but also the eyebrows and behind the ears.
Dry Skin: Dandruff can occur when the skin becomes dry during the winter or due to not drinking enough water. This type of dandruff appears as very small flakes.
Hair washing mistakes: Not washing your hair properly can lead to oil and dirt accumulating on the scalp. Similarly, using too much shampoo can also increase dandruff by stripping the scalp of its natural moisture.
Stress and diet: Excessive stress affects the body’s immune system and causes hormonal changes that can increase dandruff. In addition, zinc and vitamin B deficiencies can also cause dandruff.
