1. Malassezia fungus
Malassezia is a fungus that is found on the scalp of almost everyone. But in some people, it grows excessively and feeds on the sebum of the scalp. The acids released in this process cause itching on the skin and cause skin cells to peel off quickly.
2. Oily skin (Seborrheic Dermatitis)
Excessive oiliness on the scalp can cause dandruff. In such people, dandruff tends to be slightly larger and yellow. It can also be found not only on the head, but also on the eyebrows and sides of the nose.
3. Not washing your hair properly
If you do not wash your hair at regular intervals, dirt, oil, and skin cells will accumulate on the scalp. This increases the risk of dandruff.
4. Dry Skin
Dandruff is also common in people with dry skin. However, in such people, dandruff looks like very small white flakes. This problem is likely to increase during the winter season.
5. Chemicals used in hair
Strong shampoos, hair dyes, and sprays can irritate the skin on the scalp (Contact Dermatitis). This can cause the skin to become red, itchy, and cause dandruff.
6. Stress and diet
Excessive stress can affect the body’s immune system and cause dandruff. Some studies also indicate that a diet low in zinc and vitamin B can also cause dandruff.
Some tips to reduce dandruff:
Anti-dandruff shampoo: Use a good anti-dandruff shampoo two to three times a week.
Hygiene: Do not use other people’s combs or towels.
Natural remedies: Applying lemon juice, yogurt, and aloe vera to the scalp can help reduce dandruff.
