General Dandruff Information
Dandruff is a common skin condition that causes excessive amounts of dead skin to flake from the scalp. People with dandruff experience an unusually fast rate of skin renewal and flaking, which causes the dead skin to fall onto the shoulders and neck in excessive amounts. Dandruff is not a serious condition, but it can be very embarrassing and hard to manage. There is no real cure for dandruff as cells continue to die, but the condition may be minimized to a more manageable state with proper treatment and nutrition.

Dandruff is caused by trauma, stress, tension, hormonal imbalance, dermatitis seborrhea, improper carbohydrate consumption and excessive intake of sugar.
