Product Description
The medical name for dandruff is Pityriasis simplex capillitii. The symptoms are the flaking of the skin scalp in large quantities accompanied redness and irritation. People with dandruff shed skin on their scalp every 2 to 7 days, rather than every month which results in large oily clumps of dead skin in the hair and falling onto your shoulders. Most dandruff is caused by a naturally occurring yeast called Malassezia globosa that lives in the skin. This yeast lives on the oil off your scalp and produces oleic acid. If your susceptible to a bad reaction to oleic acid, your skin will become irritated and flake off.
Most dandruff shampoos work by killing the Malassezia yeasts in your scalp skin, this preventing the production of irritating acid that causes dandruff. Head & Shoulders uses a zinc formula to do this. Zinc is a natural anti-fungal that will help clear up your scalp in a few washes.
