Dandruff is when the dead skin on the scalp becomes scaly and itchy. This problem not only causes hair loss but also causes the embarrassment of scratching your head in public. Why does dandruff occur? Let’s see what the solutions are.
Why does dandruff occur?
Sebaceous glands are located in the center of our skin. These grow together with hair follicles. The fluid secreted from these sebaceous glands dries up and forms dandruff.
Candida yeast can also cause dandruff. This is caused by consuming foods high in sugar and processed foods.
A fungal infection on the top of the head can also turn into dandruff.
If you don’t shampoo enough, skin cells can build up and dry out, causing itchiness. Similarly, using too much shampoo can cause dry scalp and dandruff.
The scalp is sensitive. Brushing the hair too often can cause dandruff by causing too much friction there.
Various irritants can cause dermatitis and cause itchy and reddened scalp.
Too much time in the sun. Accumulation of dust and dirt can cause dandruff.

Nitya, a beautician at Plush Salon in Ambattur, Chennai, which treats common hair problems, said: An itchy scalp and flaking skin is a sign that the dandruff problem is serious. Great cleanliness should be observed during this time. Do not scratch your head with your hand. Doing so will add more dirt and make the dandruff problem worse. Massaging with shampoo and taking a shower three times a week, one day after another, will reduce the amount of oil in the skin. Don’t use too much product on your hair. It can irritate the scalp.
Walking in the mornings and evenings when there is fresh air will reduce the accumulation of oil on the scalp. Gently massaging the scalp can help prevent dandruff symptoms. Hats, scarves etc. made of synthetic materials should not be worn for long periods of time. Most dandruff problems can be treated with anti-dandruff shampoos available over the counter. Shampoos containing zinc pyrithione, salicylic acid, selenium sulphide and ketoconazole are anti-dandruff shampoos.

Those who do not get the solution on their own can go to the parlor once in two weeks for dandruff treatment. They remove the scaly dead skin between the hair follicles, massage it with shampoo and wash it off. They reduce dandruff to a great extent. Do not brush wet hair to avoid fungal infection. Pillows, blankets, sitting office chairs, helmets etc. should be kept clean. This is what he said.
