HAIR CARE - Dandruff

Dandruff is the excess shedding of skin on the scalp that 

causes itching and visible white flakes. 

About 50 per cent of the population is affected by dandruff

Dandruff is a common type of skin condition that is causes white itchy flakes to form on the scalp and to be visible in the hair and on the shoulders. The skin is in a constant state of renewal, shedding dead cells as new cells form beneath them.

With dandruff, the cells of the scalp shed in clumps so are more visible to the eye. Although the condition is not infectious or serious, its appearance can be embarrassing.

Dandruff affects about half the population and occurs in both children and adults. It is usually controlled with medicated shampoos and lotions.
