What Causes Dandruff?

Your scalp is made up of skin. Most of the time when the skin sheds its dead skin cells, we hardly notice it. When you start seeing flakes or what we call as dandruff, this means that your scalp is shedding dead skin cells at a much faster rate than normal. It is still unclear what exactly causes dandruff. Hormones are believed to play a role since this scalp problem usually starts peaking during adolescent years. A type of yeast that grows on the scalp is also suspected to play a role. Many people still believe that dandruff is due to poor hygiene but this is not true. Here are other things that can cause dandruff:

• Shampooing the hair too often or not often enough
• Not rinsing out the shampoo too well
• The cold weather
• Stress
• Certain chemicals in hair products
• Certain skin conditions such as scalp psoriasis and eczema
• Some medical conditions can also trigger dandruff

Who Gets Dandruff?

It is possible that anyone can get dandruff. But there are certain factors that can increase one’s chances of experiencing dandruff. Men are more prone to having dandruff. Being overweight, having an oily skin can also increase your chances of having it.
