What is Dandruff?
We really need to emphasis what dandruff is. It is not a pretty sight. I'm sure that you have seen dandruff on other people. You may notice an attractive person and there it is, the ugly white flaky dandruff on their shoulders. Without doubt, their appeal dwindles and you might start looking elsewhere.
Dandruff is a common problem. You are not alone. Never think that you are. You know the human body is made up of cells that are replaced by new cells when the old ones die. This is a normal phenomenon and the scalp cells follow that rule.
Dandruff is the flaky dead scalp skin deposited on the uppermost layer of the scalp when new cells replace the old ones. The problem arises when the turnover of dead skin exceeds its removal process. Usually the scalp skin is replaced after every 28 days but sometimes it starts shedding quite early. This disturbs the whole cycle and you face the common problem of unmanageable dandruff.
