Dandruff is the most widespread hair problem, with about 70% of the American population facing dandruff. The shedding of skin is completely natural, and the skin on your scalp is no different. Every month the skin replenishes itself, and it is those dead cells that make up dandruff. Everyone has these dead cells, but the normal amount is so small and insignificant. It only becomes a problem when these dead cells in the form of flakes suddenly increase. So what causes an increase in dead cells? There is still debate over the cause, but there are many contributing factors, including emotional and physical stress and weather. Most people find their dandruff growth increases during the winter months. Many researchers believe an excessive increase of the yeast Pityrosporum Ovale, which is part of your skin makeup, is the cause of dandruff. The normal limit of Pityrosporum Ovale is 46%, and dandruff occurs when this increases up to the 74% mark. How can I get rid of dandruff? There are a huge number of anti-dandruff products on the market, so dandruff is not something you should worry about. There are many products and remedies, it is just a matter of finding one that works for you. Stress management and a healthy lifestyle and diet will improve your scalp condition. If your dandruff is mild, wash your hair regularly to remove the excess flakes. Use a medicated shampoo if more stubborn flakes. Some people mistake build up from hair gel and hair styling products as dandruff.

FinThe clinical efficacy of antidandruff shampoos containing antifungal agents is correlated with their antiMalassezia activity. Other ingredients of the shampoos also affect the efficacy and tolerability of the treatments. This study was conducted to quantify the effect of eight proprietary antidandruff shampoos on the human stratum corneum. Corneosurfametry and squamometry were used to rate the interaction between the shampoos and the stratum corneum. Significant differences in mildness were disclosed between some test shampoos and SLES-7EO selected as a mild reference surfactant. The activity against corneocyte clumping also showed significant differences among the test products. It is concluded that the formulation of shampoos for dandruff should not be overlooked. d definitions of dandruff in: Dutch English all languages
