u get hard water in chennai, and this may be one of the reason of dandruff, a sudden change in the water type. dandruff itself is not a disease, as it is just the over activity of the scalp skin, as it sheds off too rapidly. the dead skin cells remain there, which we call as dandruff. dandruff is basically of 2 types, one is dusty-like and the other, scaly-like. if u have the dusty type of dandruff, u can try some medicated shampoos. first try with a good baby shampoo and if it does not work, u can try with the medicated ones. may be, if u try washing ur hair with the drinking water, u may get better results. if the dandruff is scaly type, then the shampoo could get the condition worse. so u may use a mild shampoo and a good conditioner. if there is infection on the scalp, due to fungal or bacterial infection that arise from the bruises due to scratching, then it has to be seriously attended. good luck !!

dry skin is the main rason

I once heard that 90% of dandruff in dried shampoo or conditioner that is not thrroughly washed out while showering or bathing. Dunno if that is true or not. Something to think aout that though.

The main causes of dandruff are impairment of general health, development of a toxic condition mainly due to taking of wrong foods, constipation, and a low vitality due to infectious diseases.
Emotional tension, harsh shampoos, general exhaustion

Other factors contributing to this disorder are emotional tension, harsh shampoos, exposure to cold, and general exhaustion.

Hi there,
it is an untreatable fungal condition.
Only thing we can do is to reduce the
symptoms and secondary itching due to that.
Dont trust the fake advertisements which say that "this condition" is treatable..okay ?
best wishes...

Dear skin layr peeling off. If you are applying oil regularly, you will not have dandruff. Mix mahabringaraj and awla oil in equal quantity and apply daily. If persists, consult a good homoeopath. You need constitutional treatment.

A fungus " Malassezia globosa " causes dandruff.

After 5 years of research, scientists from Procter & Gamble, have just recently identified all 4285 genes of the fungus that causes dandruff. The discovery could lead to better treatments. Researchers already knew that Malassezia globosa caused dandruff, but little was known about the fungus on the molecular level.

Everyone has the fungus and oil on their skin. Malassezia eats that oil because it lacks the machinery to make its own fatty acids. There's more oil on the scalp than on many other body parts, making it a prime feeding ground.

Dandruff happens because some people are sensitive to the aftereffects of the relationship and others are not, the same way some people are sensitive to the effects of poison ivy and others are not.

Having a genetic map for scientific researchers will eventually lead to new products. Until then, there are a variety of dandruff shampoo's you can use to control the pesky white flakes.
Head & Shoulders, Selson Blue, Nixoral, and others.

Best of luck to you........
