dandruff |
Dandruff leads to falling of hair. It is caused when hair is
not kept clean or soap/ shampoo is not fully washed off. This condition causes
small husk like white particles in the hair. When the hair is combed or the
head is scratched these particles scatter all over in the head and begin to
multiply quickly. Dandruff causes intense itching. Frequent indiscriminate
itching prompt a person to scratch consistently and the affected part of the
scalp becomes hot. As a result, the hair at that spot becomes thin, dry and
weak and falls off.
Dandruff is the biggest enemy of healthy hair. It not only
weakens the roots of the hair but also causes skin related disease. The process
of degeneration and regeneration of the skin cells goes on constantly inside
our body. This process goes on in the scalp as well and dead cells keep on
falling off periodically. But if too many cells die and fall off, it becomes
disease and needs to treated.
There are two types of dandruff: (1) dry, which falls off
when scratched and (2) oily, which sticks to the scalp.

are deprived of oxygen and the hair becomes weak and fall off.
