Scientists have tried to understand the mysteries of dandruff.

Earlier, dry skin, oily skin, washing the hair too often or not enough, on diet, stress or lack of personal hygiene were thought to be the cause of dandruff.

Dandruff’s real cause lies in a yeast-like fungus, Malassezia Globosa that lives on the scalp in millions and feeds on the oily products of sebaceous glands. It causes dandruff and a range of other skin conditions.

Scientists have decoded the DNA of fungus that could provide clues to how to combat it effectively. A team of scientists involved work for Procter & Gamble, manufacturers of Head & Shoulders, an anti-dandruff shampoo.
