What Causes Dandruff

• Dry scalp: Lack of moisture can result in itchy, flaking conditions on your scalp;
  
• Oily Scalp: Overabundance sebum traps dead skin cells, causing dandruff;
  
• Fungal Infections: An excess of yeast like organisms( Malassezia), can cause scalp irritation;
  
• Product Sensitivity: Harsh soaps or hair products may trigger scalp irritation and allergy.

Dandruff tends to be more common and severe in men than women due to higher levels of oil and androgens production on the scalp. Flare-ups of dandruff may occur seasonally or persist year-round if left untreated or not effectively managed.
