Dandruff can be frustrating as it takes a toll on both your confidence and your comfort. The white flaky scalp can leave you feeling uncomfortable with constant itchiness and irritation. Not to forget the self-consciousness, that makes you look over your shoulders and clothes throughout the day.
Despite all its troubles, dandruff still remains a very common condition. Thankfully, anti-dandruff treatment has become just as prevalent too. With the right hair care products and a consistent routine, you can bring balance to your scalp again. So, dive right in to learn what dandruff is, its causes, and a simple 2-step regimen to fix it for good.
What is Dandruff and What Causes It?
Dandruff is a scalp condition that causes white or yellow-white flakes to shed from the scalp. It is often accompanied by itching, redness, and discomfort. Dandruff usually occurs due to Malassezia, a type of yeast-like fungus that is naturally present on your scalp. When your scalp is excessively oily, it feeds on the sebum and produces oleic acid. Oleic acid, at times, could lead to itchiness, inflammation, and even increased production of skin cells. This is why dead skin cells clump up, flake off, and appear to be what we know as dandruff. Several factors such as poor scalp health, oiliness, pollution, styling buildup, stress or dietary issues can lead to dandruff.
On the other hand, a very dry scalp can lead to dandruff too. Just like your skin, when your scalp lacks moisture it can break into dry, small, white flakes. This is different from oily dandruff and is often a result of harsh hair products. Considering how both extremes can do a number on your scalp, using the right kind of anti-dandruff treatment is vital. The good news is, a well-planned hair regimen with the right L’Oréal Professionnel products can help you get rid of these pesky flakes. Here’s how –
