What Are the Possible Culprits Behind Your Dandruff?
- 1. Fungal Overgrowth (Malassezia)
A naturally present yeast on your scalp becomes aggressive and triggers inflammation + flaking. - 2. Excess Sebum (Oily Scalp)
Too much oil mixes with dead skin, creating buildup and white/yellowish flakes. - 3. Dry Scalp
Lack of hydration causes flaky, itchy patches — often worsened by cold weather or harsh shampoos. - 4. Product Buildup
Residue from styling products, dry shampoo, or sulphate shampoos can clog follicles and irritate the scalp. - 5. Improper Washing Routine
Over-washing or under-washing both disturb scalp health, creating imbalance. - 6. Weather Changes
Humidity and cold weather can both contribute to dandruff flare-ups. - 7. Stress & Hormonal Changes
Stress affects oil production and weakens scalp immunity. - 8. Underlying Conditions
Eczema, seborrheic dermatitis, or psoriasis often mimic or worsen dandruff symptoms.
