Understanding Dandruff
Dandruff is caused by the excessive shedding of dead skin cells from the scalp, often accompanied by irritation, redness, and itching symptoms. While not contagious, untreated dandruff can cause scalp inflammation and discomfort, potentially leading to hair loss over time.
Causes of Dandruff
Dry Scalp
A dry scalp occurs when the skin lacks moisture, causing flakiness and itching. Environmental factors such as cold weather, excessive air conditioning, or harsh shampoos can deplete the scalp's natural oils and cause irritation. Without proper hydration, the scalp becomes more prone to itching and peeling, which causes visible flakes.
Seborrhoeic Dermatitis
Seborrhoeic dermatitis causes oily, inflamed skin patches with yellow or white flakes. It typically affects the scalp, brows, and behind the ears. Stress, cold weather, and other environmental factors can exacerbate symptoms, making the skin more irritated. This chronic condition necessitates ongoing management to prevent flare-ups and discomfort.
Fungal Infections
The Malassezia fungus is naturally present on the scalp, but overgrowth can cause excessive skin cell shedding. It thrives in oily environments and causes dandruff symptoms like itching, irritation, and flaking. If not treated, this fungal imbalance can cause chronic inflammation, making the scalp uncomfortable and prone to irritation.
Hair Product Buildup
Frequent use of styling products such as gels, sprays, and mousses can clog hair follicles, resulting in itchiness and flakiness. Poor scalp hygiene exacerbates the problem by forming a barrier that traps dirt and oils. Over time, this buildup causes discomfort, contributing to dandruff symptoms and making it more difficult for the scalp to remain healthy.
Symptoms of Dandruff
Dandruff causes persistent white or yellow flakes on the scalp, hair, and clothing, as well as itching and discomfort. In more advanced cases, the scalp can become red, inflamed, and dry, exacerbating the irritation. These symptoms not only make for an unpleasant physical experience, but they also lower personal confidence, particularly when flakes are visible on clothing or hair.
