Dandruff is formed from a mixture of dead skin cells and oil on the scalp.
Dandruff formation is primarily related to sebum secretion and stratum corneum metabolism. Dandruff is essentially dead skin cells on the scalp. When there is excessive sebum secretion, it promotes the growth of Malassezia (a common skin fungus). Malassezia breaks down sebum, producing fatty acids. These fatty acids stimulate the scalp to produce more dead skin cells, which mix with sebum to form the dandruff we see. Dandruff formation may also be related to genetic factors, stress, diet, and environmental changes.
To reduce dandruff, first, keep your scalp clean, use a shampoo suitable for your scalp type, and avoid overly harsh products. Maintaining healthy lifestyle habits, such as a regular sleep schedule, a healthy diet, and moderate exercise, can improve scalp health. Finally, if your dandruff problem is severe, it is recommended to consult a dermatologist for more professional treatment advice.
