Most cells have a natural cycle of birth and death, including the cells of the scalp. Dandruff is flaking that is composed of dead skin cells. The scientific name for this process is pityriasis simplex capillitii. This shedding is normal and the skin cells are replaced with new cells during the year. Normal shedding is so slight it isn’t noticed. However, when there is too much shedding, the result can be irritation, itching and loss of hair.
The normal life of skin cells on a healthy scalp is about one month. The
cell turnover in someone with dandruff is much shorter than on a
healthy scalp, as little as a few days. This frequent flaking is no
longer mild shedding, but serious flaking and dandruff treatment is
needed.
To treat dandruff, it is important to know the cause of dandruff. The
cause can vary, depending on the person and addressing the cause is the
only way to cure dandruff. Some of the causes include the oil that is
secreted from the scalp, an over sensitivity to yeast that naturally
occurs on the skin, medications, allergies, weather and dietary factors.
The most common dandruff treatment is the use of shampoo that is
designed to treat dandruff. These natural hair care products contain
salicylic acid to remove dead skin cells and decrease the recurrence of
flaking.
