Dealing with dandruff? That's no problem at all. Dandruff is the term for excess skin flaking on the scalp. These are caused by the yeast type Pityrosporon Ovale. These flakes occur because the scalp is constantly renewing itself. So everyone has these flakes. In someone with dandruff, this process just happens a lot faster, causing the excessive flakes to become noticeable.

A big misconception about dandruff is that getting dandruff is related to poor hygiene. That someone suffers from dandruff says nothing about the hygiene of the hair or the scalp. That it looks unappealing is another matter. Fortunately, dandruff is one of the easiest conditions to treat and prevent.

How does dandruff occur?

The cause of the accelerated process of renewing the cells of the scalp can vary. For example, it can be genetically determined, but it can also be related to eczema-like complaints. Seborrheic eczema is caused by a yeast naturally present in the skin, and this form of eczema can be recognized by flakes near, for example, the eyebrows.

Stress can also influence this accelerated process, as can the weather, due to differences in temperature and humidity.

Occasionally, it may seem like you have dandruff because flakes are visible. This is not always dandruff. Flakes can also occur because you have used too many styling products. The residues left in your hair cause annoying flakes in that case. Also, not thoroughly rinsing out a shampoo and/or conditioner can cause itching and flakes.

How can you prevent and cure dandruff?

With an anti-dandruff shampoo from our webshop's assortment, you will quickly get rid of your dandruff. If it still doesn't work after using the product for a while, try another brand with a slightly different composition. Every dandruff shampoo can differ in terms of ingredients, and by varying, you can find out which anti-dandruff product works best for your hair.

Once you are rid of your dandruff, it is best to regularly wash your hair with a good shampoo that consists only of natural and nourishing ingredients. Also, try to wear a hat, helmet, cap, or beanie as little as possible, as this can partly prevent the dandruff from returning.
