Causes of Dandruff
Understanding the causes of dandruff is crucial for effective treatment. Several factors contribute to the development of this common scalp condition
One of the most prevalent causes of dandruff is dry skin. Flakiness is often exacerbated during colder months when humidity levels drop, leading to an increase in dry scalp conditions.
This condition is characterized by red, greasy patches on the scalp and is closely linked to an overproduction of oil. It can lead to persistent dandruff if not addressed.
This yeast-like fungus is naturally present on the scalp. However, an overgrowth can cause irritation and flaking, leading to fungal dandruff.
Some individuals may experience allergic reactions or sensitivities to certain hair care products, leading to scalp irritation and subsequent dandruff.
Infrequent washing of hair can allow dead skin cells and oil to build up on the scalp, contributing to dandruff formation.
Fluctuations in hormone levels, particularly during puberty, pregnancy, or hormonal disorders, can lead to increased oil production and dandruff.
High-stress levels can exacerbate existing scalp conditions and lead to increased dandruff. Managing stress is essential for overall scalp health.
Certain conditions, such as psoriasis and eczema, can also cause dandruff-like symptoms. It’s important to seek medical advice for proper diagnosis and treatment.
