OVERVIEW
Dandruff is one of the most commonly reported conditions and affects over 50% of people. Dandruff can have different causes but occurs because skin cells on the scalp to divide faster than dead cells can be shed, causing whitish flakes of dead skin cells to appear in the hair and fall on the shoulders.

Dandruff can be caused by a variety of conditions, including overly oily hair, fungal infections like Malassezia, overly sensitive skin from contact dermatitis, dry skin, and inconsistent shampooing.
Conventional medications include pyrithione zinc, tar, sulfide, ketoconazole, or shampoos containing salicylic acid. Most over-the-counter dandruff shampoos contain harsh chemical-laden ingredients that can leave your hair overly dry and brittle as well as irritate your scalp.
