Why does dandruff occur in winter?
Not really threatening or contagious, but dandruff is a medical condition, a milder form of seborrheic dermatitis. It is primarily a scalp condition where the skin becomes dry and itchy. Especially in winter, due to lack of moisture, your scalp tends to develop flakiness and become prone to dandruff.
Well, exfoliation is a natural process while your scalp also sheds off the uppermost layer of your skin that combines with the sebum produced by your skin and creates flakes. We call them dandruff.
Does dandruff occur more in men or women?
Men are more prone to dandruff than women. Is it true? Yes, partially so. Dermatologists have opined that the secretion of male hormones, testosterone is utterly responsible for more oil production in the scalp. More sebum means a lot more clumping of flakes. Added to this, men’s sebum production glands appear bigger than women. So, there are chances that men suffer from more dandruff problems than women.
How much does an anti-dandruff shampoo help in reducing the dandruff content in your head?
To be honest, while you are choosing your anti-dandruff shampoo, you have to be wise enough. Your hair care regimen must be able to suit your requirements. Every anti-dandruff shampoo has their specific ingredients that might not be friendly for your scalp. In most cases, the shampoos contain pyrithione zinc while there are other ingredients like selenium sulfides or coal tar. But what do all these active ingredients do? They exfoliate or shed off the dead skin cells quickly before they start clumping.

Lastly, wash with an anti-dandruff shampoo.
