Why dandruff appears: a trichologist named the main reasons
According to WHO, up to 70% of people suffer from dandruff periodically.
The appearance of white flakes on hair is influenced by many factors, which we will discuss below.
First, let us recall that the culprit of dandruff is the fungus Malassezia Furfur. It is considered part of the normal microflora of the epidermis and, when the body is healthy, does not manifest itself.
But with the onset of favorable conditions for it, the fungus, as they say, is right there.
This can be facilitated by hormonal surges that occur in the body during puberty, menopause, pregnancy, etc.
In addition, dandruff often appears as a result of improper hair care. This includes such hair operations as aggressive coloring, using the wrong shampoo, perming, excessive use of a hair dryer and iron, etc.
If you don't want to see white flakes on your shoulders, wear a hat during the cold season and take it off indoors to avoid over-insulation.
Sometimes the cause of dandruff is various diseases: pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract, bronchopulmonary system, etc.
Finally, the fungus can “wake up” in case of stress, decreased immunity and violation of the principles of proper nutrition.
