Although the problem of dandruff is probably one that has affected mankind almost since the dawn of time, it is nevertheless a problem that is not completely and fully understood as yet.

Hence it is difficult if not impossible to give a complete definition of what causes dandruff.

On the other hand, there are many factors that appear to be implicated in causing the condition, some of which are internal others that are directly related to the scalp itself.



Firstly, there are suggestions that part of the reason that some people suffer dandruff could be genetic.

Part of the reason for believing this is that dandruff generally starts to appear after puberty, and is also far more common in men than it is in women.

It is also another oddity about dandruff that it appears to be more common in people who suffer from certain diseases, such as Parkinson"s disease, which researchers suggest might also have some genetic causes as well.

Some 25 years ago, dermatologists began to suspect that one of the major causes of dandruff is a naturally occurring yeast that everyone carries on their skin known as Malassezia yeast.

Nowadays, it is generally agreed that it is a combination of this particular form of yeast and the sebum secreted by the sebaceous glands in the hair upon which this particular yeast feeds that is the primary cause of dandruff in an individual who is already genetically predisposed to suffering from the condition.

When the yeast feeds on the natural grease produced by the human skin, it generates oleic acid which then penetrates the stratum corneum (the outermost layer of the skin) and causes irregularities in the way the skin cells divide, accelerating the growth of new cells by doing so.

As suggested, it is this increased turnover or rapid production of skin cells that causes dandruff, hence removing Malassezia yeast from the skin should help to reduce or remove your dandruff problem.
