Where Does Dandruff Come From?

Before learning how to get rid of dandruff it is helpful to learn more about what it really is. Dandruff is a condition of the scalp that causes itching and flaking. This common condition can be caused by the way hair and skin respond with inflammation to yeast pityrosporum, which is a normal component of the flora of skin. “Dandruff is very visible white flakes that can appear on clothing from the scalp. The top layer of skin cells on our scalps will shed monthly. However when the process of sloughing off the top layer of skin occurs rapidly (every few days) large white, oily clumps present as dandruff”, said expert Veronica Joseph.
