How do you spell dandruff?

Been having a lot of white flakes in my hair recently. My sister said it's dandruff. I'm trying to find some home remedies for it, but I always get confused with the spelling. How do you spell 'dandruff'?

It's D-A-N-D-R-U-F-F. I used to get massive flakes every winter, absolute nightmare on black t-shirts. Getting a good anti-dandruff shampoo from a derm worked wonders for me instead of random oils.

The spelling is dandruff. My teenage son had a very bad scalp build-up last month, and we had to change his pillowcovers daily to prevent it from spreading to his forehead. Make sure to wash their hair brushes regularly too.

It is spelled dandruff, beta. In our village, we call it rusi. Apply a little curd on your scalp before bath, it makes the head cool and cleans the flakes nicely.

It is spelled dandruff. Since I have to manage my blood sugar, I noticed my skin and scalp get dry very easily. High sugar levels can sometimes make skin infections worse, so keeping a check on your diet helps inside out.

The correct spelling is dandruff. Sweating during your daily walks or workouts can sometimes irritate your scalp more if you don't wash it. Just ensure you dry your hair properly after exercising to keep the scalp healthy.
