In this article, we will talk about the real cause and cure for your dandruff.

But, first, I’m going to talk about what dandruff is, its current treatment, what’s behind it, and a perfect solution.

What is dandruff?

Dandruff occurs when small bits of dry skin are shed from the scalp. You might spy these flakes on your hair or your shoulders. Dandruff may make your scalp itchy, too. It’s a common problem but isn’t as simple as it seems.

Dandruff is tricky to define because it overlaps with seborrheic dermatitis (a chronic form of eczema) and other skin conditions that lead to a scaly scalp.

Dandruff is so common that it affects about half the global adult population.

The typical dandruff treatment is dandruff shampoo, like Head and Shoulders, which uses a certain anti-fungal and antibacterial chemical.

Unfortunately, while it may get rid of dandruff temporarily, it’s banned in Europe because it’s potentially toxic to a person’s reproductive organs.

In addition, there is a particular fungus behind dandruff called Malassezia. In this situation, this type of fungus, a part of the normal flora on the skin, has morphed into overgrown.
