Do everyone have dandruff?

Question

Noticing some flakes in my hair and on my clothes, I think it might be dandruff. My friend told me that actually everyone has dandruff to some extent. Is this true, or is it a specific condition that only some people get?

Chill, almost everyone gets dandruff at some point, especially during winters or when we are stressed. Don't stress too much about it, just use a mild anti-dandruff shampoo twice a week and you're good to go!

While dandruff is super common due to sweat and dust, not everyone has it active all the time. Staying active and washing your hair after a sweaty workout or run really helps keep the scalp clean and dry.

You don't need to spend thousands on expensive salon scalp treatments. A basic ketoconazole shampoo from any local pharmacy costs under 200 rupees and works much better. Just use it consistently for a few weeks.

Beta, dandruff is very common because of our dusty weather. In our time, we used to apply a little warm coconut oil mixed with lemon juice on the scalp before bathing. Do it gently once a week, it helps keep the scalp healthy.

It is a very normal issue caused by dry skin or oily scalp. Just make sure you wash your comb regularly and don't share towels with others. Keeping your pillowcases clean also prevents it from coming back.

It's nothing to feel embarrassed about, almost everyone deals with it during season changes. Just don't scratch your scalp too hard as it can cause small infections. Take care and keep your hair clean.
