What is dandruff? People shed dead skin cells on a regular basis.
Dandruff occurs when our skin renews itself and the old dead skin cells on our scalp are forced to the surface out of the scalp at an extreme rate.
What gets left on the scalp is dead skin cells in the form of flakes.
Dandruff is unattractive and problematic.
When left alone, over time dandruff sticks to the scalp, clogs the roots (weakening them) and leading to possible hair loss.
