Dandruff is one of the most common scalp problems, causing embarrassment and itching, and can increase hair loss if left untreated. Many people think dandruff simply means "dry scalp," but in reality, dandruff has more than one type and cause.

In this article we explain the causes of dandruff, the difference between dry and oily dandruff, and the best simple plan to get rid of it naturally, along with a routine that helps soothe and gradually improve the scalp.

What is dandruff? And why does it appear?

Dandruff is flaking of the skin on the scalp, and it may be:

• Light (small scales)
• Or severe with redness and itching

The most common cause associated with dandruff is an overactivity of a type of naturally occurring fungus on the skin (Malassezia) in some people, but there are other causes such as dryness or harsh products.

The most important causes of dandruff

1) Oily scalp (oily dandruff)

When oil increases on the scalp, flakes accumulate and become larger and more noticeable. Signs include:

• Large sticky scales
• Clear fat
• Itching may increase

2) Dry scalp (dry dandruff)

It usually appears in winter or with hot water and harsh shampoos. Its signs include:

• small, light flakes
• tightness/dryness
• Mild to moderate itching

3) Unsuitable shampoo or products

Some strong shampoos or gels/sprays, when used excessively, irritate the scalp and increase dandruff.

4) Washing hair incorrectly
