If you are itching your head - blame it on Fungal Dandruff !

The major cause behind dandruff is a fungus known as Malassezia . And it exists on all our scalps . The fungus feeds on the oily scalp & breaks it down to release oleic acid . And in order to fight this , your skin cells start renewing at a faster pace . Leading to white-colored dead skin cells...known as Dandruff ! Other causes of dandruff -

• Irritated, oily skin
• Dry skin
• Sensitivity to hair care products (contact dermatitis)
• Other skin conditions , such as psoriasis and eczema

It is ideal to figure out the cause and then treat it accordingly !
