Main causes of dandruff
Malassezia: This is a type of fungus (yeast) that is naturally found on everyone’s scalp. However, in some people, its growth is excessive and it irritates the skin of the scalp and causes the cells to peel off quickly (dandruff).

Seborrheic Dermatitis: This is a type of inflammation that occurs in people with oily skin. It can occur not only on the head, but also on the face and behind the ears. This is one of the most important causes of dandruff.
Poor personal hygiene: Not washing the head frequently causes dirt and oil (sebum) to accumulate on the scalp. This increases dandruff.
Dry skin: It is common for people with excessively dry skin to have flaky skin. This can feel like dandruff.
Contact Dermatitis: Some chemicals in shampoos, dyes, hair gels, and sprays used on the hair can cause allergies on the scalp and cause dandruff.

Stress: Mental stress affects the body’s immune system and can increase the severity of dandruff.
Diet: A diet deficient in zinc and B vitamins may increase the risk of dandruff.
