A common scalp condition called dandruff is characterized by the shedding of dead skin cells. Many factors, including dry or oily skin, psoriasis, eczema, seborrheic dermatitis, fungal infections (especially those caused by the Malassezia yeast), stress, inadequate hygiene, and specific hair care products, can cause it. Typical symptoms include itching, discomfort, and the appearance of white or yellow flakes on the scalp. Dandruff can be a chronic problem that makes people feel uncomfortable or embarrassed. Dandruff may be controlled by practicing good scalp cleanliness, using gentle shampoos, avoiding harsh hair care products, controlling stress, and eating a balanced diet. According to Ayurveda, dandruff may be managed and a healthy scalp can be encouraged by treating the underlying dosha imbalance and utilizing remedies like herbal oils and scalp treatments.
