We tell you everything you need to know so that you can choose the right anti-dandruff shampoo that makes both yourself and your hair and scalp intensely happy :)
Many people suffer from dandruff, which can be very annoying. Why is it that some people suffer from this more than others? Scalp cells are continuously renewed. Old cells make way for new cells and thus detach from the scalp. People who suffer from dandruff have to deal with a scalp that renews itself twice as fast as normal. As a result, there are also twice as many old cells that release and therefore twice as many flakes. A special anti-dandruff shampoo can solve this problem. It removes dandruff and soothes the scalp. Combine the treatment with an anti-dandruff conditioner for even more effect.
What exactly does an anti-dandruff shampoo do?
Everyone has suffered from it at one time or another, rose. If you suffer from dandruff, fine, dry skin flakes come loose on the scalp and fall on the shoulders. The flakes arise because your skin renews every day. It is normal for the skin to renew every day, but if you suffer from dandruff on the scalp, the scalp renews itself faster than normal. There are several anti-dandruff shampoos that can remedy the problem. The products remove the stubborn dandruff and soothe the scalp so that you no longer suffer from it.
What are the working ingredients in an anti-dandruff shampoo?
A shampoo especially against dandruff contains selenium sulphide or zinc pyrithione. These substances inhibit the production of new skin cells, so that fewer skin flakes release and end up in the hair. For the best effect, it is recommended that you use the anti-dandruff shampoo every few days and leave it on for five to ten minutes.
What Causes Dandruff?
Dandruff is very common in the Netherlands and it is also very normal if the scalp renews every day. The 'old' cells die and let go. The flakes that arise as a result are so small that they are not noticeable. In people with dandruff, the cells of the scalp divide twice as fast. This results in more dead cells than usual. These stick together and form flakes that we can see. Dandruff is an excessive flaking of the scalp caused by the yeast called Pityrosporon ovale.
This yeast is present on everyone's skin. Yet not everyone suffers from it; the
sensitivity to this yeast varies from person to person. The yeast feels comfortable in a moist and warm environment. For example, people who often wear a helmet, cap or hat are more bothered by it. If you take it to the doctor, it is also called pityriasis capitis.

Dandruff is easily identified by the small, drier whiter flakes on the main body. The flakes come off easily and often fall on clothing or shoulders.

Usually the glands in the skin also work harder, causing more sebum and fat to reach the scalp. The fat can cause itching. Scratching too much can cause skin inflammation.
