Dandruff is one of the most frequently observed hair problem, characterized by the itching and flaking of the scalp. There are numerous causes of dandruff. Mentioned here are just a few common ones:

• The prime cause of dandruff is found to be a yeast called Pityrosporum Ovale.

Nice post! Mental stress can also cause dandruff!

Dandruff is caused by micro-organism called pityrosporum-ovle which are present in every body's scalp. Symptoms of dandruff get aggravated when exposed to dust, UV light, harsh chemical based shampoo, hair dyes etc., this results in increase in number of microbes which causes unhealthy residue over the scalp which leads to dandruff, which is the cause of unhealthy scalp results in unhealthy, lifeless hair and may result in excessive loss of hair too.

Remember not to get dandruff mixed up with head lice as they look really similar in size and colour.

The exact cause of dandruff (seborrheic dermatitis) is unknown. Most experts do know, though, that it is not caused by poor hygiene. It can be due to not enough hair brushing, dry skin, not enough shampooing, certain skin conditions and illness, and mental stress.
