What is dandruff and how is it caused?
Dandruff is a common condition that causes the skin on the scalp to shed and flake off. Ever noticed those little flecks of white in your hairbrush or on your shoulders? That's dandruff.
It's nothing to worry about, but it can be a little itchy, embarrassing and difficult to treat without the right products. But why does it happen? Well, dandruff is primarily caused by a change in the skin's renewal cycle. Let's explain…
Cellular renewal cycle
This is the repetitive process where your living skin cells gradually move up to the top layer of the skin, then die and shed off to reveal more radiant, younger-looking skin underneath.
Lots of factors can influence the speed at which your skin renews, but one of the most common is a microorganism called Malassezia.
Malassezia is completely normal and lives on all scalps, feeding on the oils. Unfortunately, some people's bodies feel attacked by it, and speed up the skin's renewal process to compensate – leaving you with a build-up of excess dead skin cells. Or in other words – dandruff.
Who can get dandruff?
Even though it might feel like you're the only one with this problem, dandruff is actually one of the most common scalp concerns. With 5.2 million women in the UK experiencing unwanted dandruff flakes – that's 21% of the female population – you're not alone. We promise.
Almost anyone can get dandruff, and it's even more common in men, but there are a few factors that might make you more susceptible – including your age, lifestyle and certain illnesses.
What's the difference between dry dandruff and oily dandruff?
You might think dandruff only occurs in people with dry, itchy or sensitive skin. While they definitely can suffer from a flaky scalp, it can happen to anyone. People with oily skin certainly aren't immune – in fact, due to excess sebum production, you might even be more prone to dandruff.
Dry dandruff hair
This type of dandruff is often connected with itching and redness. It can be aggravated by colder weather conditions, irritations from harsh products, and other environmental aggressors.
Oily dandruff hair
This type of dandruff can be thicker, stickier and more oily, with flakes collecting to form yellowy scales on your scalp.
