1. Dandruff

Dandruff causes the scalp to produce white flakes. It is a harmless, non-inflammatory skin condition that affects the scalp and can lead to hair loss.

Reasons for dandruff

✤ You have dry skin.

Dry skin is one of the most common causes of dandruff. And unfortunately, if this is the root of your dandruff, you might see it get worse this time of year. “If dry skin is causing your dandruff, it’s easier to tell as other places of your body are most likely dry as well,” Dr. Kwon says. “And during cold months, skin becomes drier – which is why people tend to notice more dandruff at this time.”

The remedy: You know the drill: moisturize. There are many shampoos (both medicated and not) that replenish moisture into your scalp and can alleviate — or even completely get rid of — dandruff.

✤ You aren’t shampooing enough.

While it sounds unhygienic, not shampooing enough could be the cause of your dandruff.“When you don’t shampoo enough, oil accumulates and builds up on the skin and can cause dandruff,” Dr. Kwon explains.Before you freak out, this doesn’t necessarily mean you don’t clean yourself enough.

The remedy: While the fix could be as simple as shampooing more frequently, you might need to take it one step further. Using a medicated over-the-counter shampoo a few times a week can help prevent any build up. Before shampooing give a gentle scalp massage with our best ayurvedic hair oil.

You have a medical condition.

Seborrheic dermatitis is a chronic medical condition that not only affects the scalp but also other areas of the body where oil glands are present. This condition is characterized by dandruff as well as redness of the scalp. It looks similar to other common skin diseases like psoriasis, eczema or even an allergic reaction.

The remedy: If you can relate to these symptoms, talk with a doctor. Some tar-based shampoos work well to stop skin cells from overturning too quickly. Other medications and following a good skin care routine can also help. One thing to note: Tar-based shampoos may not be a great option for people with lighter-colored hair, as this type of shampoo can discolor hair, Dr. Kwon says.

You have a yeast overgrowth. Malassezia is a fungus that lives on the scalp and skin of all people. For some, a sensitivity develops which can result in dandruff.
