Dandruff is a natural phenomenon resulting from scalp cell metabolism. However, excessive dandruff may be caused by:
Accelerated Cell Metabolism: Scalp cells shed too quickly, forming visible flakes.
Malassezia Fungal Infection: Excess scalp oil promotes fungal growth, irritating the scalp and triggering dandruff.
Excessive or Insufficient Oil Secretion: Too much oil encourages fungal growth, while too little causes dryness and flaking.
Unsuitable Hair Products: Harsh ingredients may damage the scalp barrier, worsening dandruff.
Stress and Diet: Stress, irregular sleep, and nutrient deficiencies (e.g., zinc, B vitamins) affect scalp health.
Skin Conditions: Seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, and other conditions may lead to severe dandruff.
Use a gentle anti-dandruff shampoo suited to your scalp type.
Maintain scalp hygiene and reduce the use of styling products like gel or wax.
Follow a balanced diet and avoid high-sugar, high-fat foods.
Manage stress and maintain a healthy sleep routine.
If dandruff is severe with itching or inflammation, consult a doctor promptly.
By understanding the causes of dandruff and choosing the right care methods, you can effectively improve scalp health!
