Environmental stress, excessive styling and the wrong use of products such as an overly drying dandruff shampoo are some factors that can affect the scalp’s cell turnover rate, leading to unsightly dandruff, discomfort and even hair loss. Don’t live with embarrassing flakes on your shoulders all day. Take action now.
FATIGUE, STRESS, POLLUTION AND A POOR DIET CAN CAUSE DANDRUFF FLAKING
Dandruff is caused by dead skin cells on the scalp. As skin cells die, a small amount of flaking is normal. Approximately 487,000 cells per cm2 are released normally after washing. However, there are those who experience an excessive amount of flaking, which could be the result of certain triggers like stress and fatigue. Up to 800,000 cells per cm2 could be released, accompanied by scalp redness and irritation. The severity of dandruff flaking may fluctuate with seasonal changes as it often worsens in Singapore’s humid climate and during wet weather conditions.
That said, most cases of dandruff can be managed and treated with specialised treatments and proper home care products like an effective anti-dandruff shampoo that does not dry out the scalp.
