What Causes Dandruff?

Healthy hair starts at the scalp. Before you can give your scalp what it needs, you need to understand what’s causing you so much grief. If you think you have dandruff, there’s one simple way to find out—look at the facts (and talk to your dermatologist, of course)! Let’s start with the basics: What is dandruff?

Hair dandruff is a common scalp care issue that can develop with the help of several different agitators, including dry skin, hormones, certain immune diseases, not shampooing often enough, product buildup and more serious agitators like seborrheic dermatitis or contact dermatitis.

While the most common signs of dandruff include a red, itchy and flaking scalp, more severe scalp conditions, like scalp psoriasis, can also present itself in this way. The main difference is that scalp psoriasis is typically more scaly than flaky, is long-lasting or chronic, it spreads and may lead to issues with bleeding, a burning sensation and hair loss. It’s also more common in those with autoimmune diseases and can spread to areas like the back of the neck, behind or inside the ears, and the forehead.

Dandruff Treatment At Home

If you’re concerned about your dandruff, rest assured there are simple solutions to rid you of your common scalp irritation. First, there is scalp exfoliation. Exfoliating the scalp is a fast (not to mention relaxing) way to remove dead skin cells, sebum and product buildup that collects over time. If you use shampoos containing silicone, this can more easily leave a residue behind on the scalp and all the more reason to exfoliate regularly. Not to mention, it helps improve circulation to encourage new, healthy hair growth. We offer several scalp exfoliation treatments and tools we think you’ll love.

Dandruff can also (typically) be treated without a prescription, using over-the-counter dandruff shampoos or specialty dandruff treatments at home. What makes anti-dandruff shampoo products different is their main, active ingredients. These are typically antimicrobial and anti-mitotic agents that help cleanse the scalp of bacteria and wash away buildup. Some common dandruff treatment ingredients include actives like zinc, selenium sulfide, salicylic acid, vitamin E, peppermint and other plant and mineral-based ingredients.

At LovelySkin, you will find a wide array of today’s best hair products for dandruff. From anti-dandruff shampoos and conditioners to medicated cleansing bars, hydrating oils, scalp elixirs, cleansing brushes and more, there is no shortage of dandruff treatments to take your scalp from irritated to elated.
