Can Dandruff Be Responsible For Hair Loss?

 Do you begin to lose your hair sometime around the time you identified a notably hard case of dandruff? Dandruff can also be the reason for your hair loss.

So seeking professional opinion seems to be a better solution for determining whether dandruff can cause hair loss or not.

1    Often people are prescribed medications or ointments to reduce hair loss. These products sometimes contain a component called Minoxidil.

         Minoxidil contains alcohol which tends to cause drying of the scalp and can result in a flaking, dandruff-like reaction in some people.

         Dry scalps and flaking tend to itch.

 i       Intense itching usually induces vigorous scratching.

        Vigorous scratching can separate the hair from one’s head. While scratching, you may be pulling, breaking and scraping your hair away from your scalp–this just adds to the hair loss situation.

 

Scratching, not dandruff itself, is the principal scientific relationship between hair loss and dandruff

Dandruff is about the skin on the scalp. Thinning hair is about a condition in the hair follicles. Dandruff is considered a cosmetic disease in that it is not life threatening nor contagious. But it does make us all uncomfortable from the itchiness and those falling bits that others see long before we do.

The causes of dandruff are not well defined nor understood. The condition occurs when the scalp is too oily or when it is too dry. And there are various types of dandruff, though the symptoms are generally the same and  there can be some other medical conditions with dandruff-like symptoms that might result in some temporary hair loss. The possible conditionsare seborrheic dermatitis  or psoriasis which cause scaling similar to dandruff and can be present on or spread to other parts of the body. If you believe dandruff is the underlying reason ., so you need to use anti- dandruff shampoos and deep cleaning and conditioning of hairs.
