Dandruff is not related to dryness

In winters you may observe dry skin on your body parts and on your face, and you will feel itchy on that dry skin.

In reality, dandruff is caused by overgrowth of a harmless yeast called Pityrosporum ovale (P. ovale). This is yeast like fungus available in any human skin but when it overgrow it will cause dandruff. This overgrowth of P. ovale happens because the yeast starts to feed on excess oil and dead skin cells on your scalp, this will cause skin cells to shed more frequently and clump into flakes.

Wash Your Hair Regularly

Usually dermatologists warn against shampooing your hair everyday, and even if you do so, you should use mild shampoo for daily usage. This is bacause daily usage of shampoo will wash natural oils away from your scalps and that may result in dried scalps and irritation. While Dandruff will bring in opposite problem. If you don’t shmapoo enough, it will make your dandruff condition worse. It will cause more dead skin cells and oils to accumulate on your scalp, which will feed yeast and fungi on your scalps and enhance the dandruff. As per experts, if you want to get rid of your scalp of dandruff, you need to clean out all the gunk, which a regular shampoo won’t do. For that you have to use medicated dandruff shampoo everyday which can be available at any drug store. Medicated dandruff shampoo should contain ketoconazole, selenium sulfide or zinc. If your hair is dray, though and you face danger of making it more dry and coarse, you can use dandruff conditioner too.
