Stress And 4 Other Untold Causes Of Dandruff

Many people think dandruff is just caused by having a dry scalp, but there are actually several surprising reasons why dandruff happens. One of those reasons is stress, but there are other unexpected causes too.

Here are five causes of dandruff

Stress

 When you’re stressed, your body produces more of the hormone cortisol, which can throw off the balance of oils in your skin. This can lead to an overproduction of oil on the scalp, creating a breeding ground for dandruff.

Failure to wash hair all the time

You might think that skipping hair washing is harmless, but it can actually lead to dandruff. When you don’t wash your hair regularly, oils and dead skin cells build up on your scalp. This buildup can irritate the skin, leading to dandruff flakes.

Using the wrong hair product

Hair products can sometimes do more harm than good when it comes to dandruff. Some shampoos, conditioners, or styling products contain chemicals that can irritate sensitive skin, causing flakiness and dandruff.

Dry weather

Cold, dry weather can make dandruff worse, especially during harmattan. The lack of moisture in the air can dry out your scalp, leading to itching and flaking.

Diet

What you eat can also play a role in the health of your scalp. A diet lacking in important nutrients, such as zinc, B vitamins, and healthy fats, can contribute to dandruff.
