Almost each and every person at some point in their life has encountered the problem of dandruff. Dandruff is a common scalp condition in which dead cells of skin get accumulated on your scalp and hair. These are white or grey coloured flaky substances which are found on your scalp. Dandruff hinders the essential nutrients from reaching the scalp and ultimately your hair strands become weak and start falling off. Thus dandruff also triggers itching and scalp irritation. Dandruff should be treated at the initial stage itself so as to avoid other hair problems.

What Are The Causes Of Dandruff?

Dandruff

Most of the time people consider that dandruff is caused because of poor hygiene. But that’s not true. There are a lot of factors responsible for causing dandruff such as:

1. Dryness of the scalp: Extreme climatic conditions can also be one of the factors responsible for causing dandruff. Dry scalp tends to become itchy, resulting in dandruff.

2. Not shampooing regularly: Washing your hair on a regular basis is necessary to remove excess oil and dead skin cell build up on the scalp, which may otherwise cause dandruff. Excessive use of strong chemical shampoos can also lead to dandruff. You may shampoo your hair twice or thrice in a week.

3. Yeast Infection: Malassezia is a yeast which is commonly found on everybody’s scalp and it feeds on the oil produced by the sebum. But sometimes the overgrowth of this yeast due to certain conditions can lead to scalp inflammation which results in itchiness and irritated scalp.

4. Skin Conditions: Certain skin conditions such as seborrheic, eczema, dermatitis etc can irritate the scalp and it becomes itchy, which leads to dandruff.

5. Stress: Stress and anxiety can deteriorate any skin condition as it impairs your immune system making it difficult for your body to deal with the microbe Malassezia globosa present on your scalp and cause scalp irritation.

6. Unbalanced Diet: Diet which is deficient in Zinc, Vitamin B and fats can also result in dandruff. Sugar intake should also be reduced as sugary food promotes the growth of Candida yeast.

7. Brushing your hair irregularly: Regularly brushing is required to avoid the buildup of dead skin cells on the scalp.

8. Pollution: Dirt, dust and grime are also responsible for causing dandruff as they stay on the surface of the scalp and make it itchy and irritated.

If you are having dandruff and want to get rid of it, then don’t worry, Castor Oil from Anveya is there for your rescue.
