Nearly half of us earthlings have experienced, at least once, these annoying sensations of itching, burning or irritation on our smooth or frizzy, dry or oily hair.
Although there are several causes to these genes that are, let us remember, benign, the most common are dandruff.
Dandruff are small fragments (dander) of scalp that come off, spreading into the hair falling on the shoulders.
They are due to excessive flaking of the scalp. It is a benign but unsightly condition, which can be embarrassing for people with it (about one in two people). In some cases, dandruff is accompanied by itching and irritation of the scalp. It therefore takes a good hair treatment to get rid of it permanently.
There are two types of dandruff:
• dry dandruff
• oily dandruff
DRY DANDRUFF
Also called Pityriasis simplex or simple dandruff states, it is quite easy to distinguish them from oily dandruff.
Dry dandruff is the most commonly encountered. They are small, light, white and appear on dry, frizzy hair or dry scalp. These are the most visible dandruff on clothes because, being volatile, they do not stick to the hair. They are most often found in flaky appearances on the shoulders.
OILY DANDRUFF
These are the ones that most often appear on oily scalp or frizzy hair and are rather white to yellow in color
This type of dandruff can usually begin to appear after puberty and can last a lifetime. Like eczema, for example, dandruff is part of your genetic heritage. However, certain external factors can accentuate their appearance, such as stress, anxiety or fatigue.
ORIGINS
The appearance of dandruff is often related to stress, anxiety or fatigue but flaking has several factors: lack or excess sebum. This may be due to frequent use of stripper shampoo, poorly rinsed hair, limestone deposit left by rinse water, blow-drying that dries out the scalp, hormones in adolescence or the presence of fungi.
