What is dandruff and what can you do about it?
Do you regularly see white flakes on your shoulders or in your hair? And do you also suffer from an itchy scalp? Then you probably have dandruff. Don't worry, dandruff is harmless and easy to treat – especially with a natural anti-dandruff shampoo.
What is dandruff?
Your scalp is constantly renewing itself. Skin cells die daily and normally disappear invisibly. But when this process accelerates, there can be an overproduction of skin cells. These dead cells stick together with sebum and form visible, white or yellowish flakes: this is what we call dandruff.
Dandruff is actually a mild form of eczema and is often accompanied by small inflammations, flakes, and itching. It is not contagious and can disappear on its own, but often returns just as quickly. Therefore, good, mild care is essential – and that starts with an effective anti-dandruff shampoo.
Causes of dandruff
The exact cause of dandruff is not yet fully known, but several factors can contribute to its development or worsening:
- Genetic predisposition
- Hormonal changes
- Prolonged stress
- A dry or oily environment
- Reduced immunity
In addition, certain triggers can worsen the symptoms, such as:
- Stress and tension
- Specific foods or drinks
- Aggressive shampoos or soap
- Overly hot styling tools or showers
Did you know that dandruff is sometimes confused with a dry and sensitive scalp? When in doubt, it's important to look closely at the type of flakes: dandruff is usually oilier and coarser in texture, while a dry scalp produces fine, dry flakes.

How does an anti-dandruff shampoo work?
A good anti-dandruff shampoo has a three-fold action:
- It helps dead skin cells shed naturally
- It regulates the scalp's sebum production
- It fights the Malessezia yeast, which plays a role in dandruff for many people
Thanks to this approach, flaking is reduced, inflammation is inhibited, and itching is relieved. This gives your scalp a chance to calm down – and you'll see that reflected in healthy, flake-free hair.
