Dandruff is the shedding of dead skin cells from the scalp causing flakes of skin to appear. This is a very common condition that can occur chronically or as a result of certain triggers and can cause redness, itching and discomfort. Luckily, dandruff is very treatable and normally requires the use of a specialised shampoo or conditioner.
There are many anti-dandruff shampoos and conditioners that can be purchased over the counter in pharmacies and supermarkets, popular brands include Head and Shoulders, Herbal Essences and Garnier. These work by breaking up dandruff causing agents and inhibiting their growth.
