Dandruff can be such a taboo subject, but it doesn’t need to be.

Dandruff is a very common scalp condition that affects 50% of adults at some point in their lives, and the only way to battle it, is to talk about it. There are so many sources in today’s world that focus on what trending product will help with your concern, but will it really help? It can get confusing when you want to learn more about Dandruff, what causes it and how to treat it and since you’ve got enough to worry about already, we’ve made it simple for you.

What is dandruff? And what causes it?

Dandruff put simply, is the flaking of dead skin lifting and coming off the scalp. When excess sebum – an oil that your skin produces to protect it from drying out - builds up, a fast-growing fungus known as Malassezia forms.

But how does this cause those white flakes?

Well, due to the excess build-up of sebum and Malassezia, the natural reproduction of cells is disrupted and begin to cluster, forming the white flakes you see on the surface of your scalp. These clusters can also cause the irritation you feel on your scalp as well as the inflammation, redness, itchiness and sometimes even pain.

Understanding what dandruff really is, can be a bit scary, but it is such common concern, and there are many treatments and remedies.

So, how do I treat it?

Dandruff can be tricky to treat, especially when you are not sure where to start or what to use. With so many products being sold today, and so many home remedies shown on social media, the problem isn’t the lack of solutions, but finding the right solution for you.

The best formulations offer both a solution and relief from scalp irritation, and don’t add any further damage to your hair. The first step in addressing your dandruff is finding a shampoo that doesn’t have any harsh ingredients but includes natural actives. Using a shampoo that has active ingredients means that while cleansing your hair, the formula will work on attacking the Malassezia and cell clusters, ultimately removing those white flakes and calming the irritation you feel.

But which product should I use?
