Even though dandruff is very common, many people feel embarrassed due to it. If you suffer from it, you know how hard it is to get rid of it.
But there is a solution for every issue, including dandruff. So, don’t worry: this article will help you deal with it – and end it, at last.
What causes dandruff
Dandruff itself is a very known condition. Characterized as little white flakes of dead skin, it affects the scalp and terrifies people of many ages, from teenagers to elderlies.
Many things, habits and conditions can cause dandruff. But the most common reason is called “seborrhea”, or “seborrheic dermatitis”. Dry and sensitive skin are also “fertile ground”.
Other triggers are weather conditions (dryness, excessive coldness or heat), deficiency in vitamins, illness and excessive levels of stress.
Your hair care habits can also be influencing factors: if you don’t wash your hair too often, the scalp will accumulate oiliness and dead skin, making dandruff more visible. On the other hand, if you wash your hair way too much, you might unbalance your scalp. By leaving it too sensitive and dry, you also contribute to dandruff occurrence.
