Relation Between Dandruff and Hair Loss
In our today’s glamorous world, a look of the person is very important. Our hairs play a major role in building our personality. But if this hair is lost then the person becomes very conscious about his look. One of the major causes of hair fall is dandruff. Actually there is no direct relation between dandruff and hair fall. But when a person scratches his/her scalp due to dandruff the hair roots become loose and ultimately results in hair fall. Our body cells are constantly regenerating. Similarly the new scalp cells are also continuously producing. These new scalp cells replaces the older ones and these older cells shed off automatically.
What is Dandruff?
Dandruff is a fungal infection of the scalp caused by Mallazesia globosa. This fungus can infect anyone but the people who have the predisposing factors (mentioned below) are more prone to dandruff. When this fungus infects the scalp, it enhances the process of formation of new cells and the older dead cells are collected on the scalp as white scales. When we comb our hairs, these white scales shed off in more quantity on our shoulders, back and face what we call it as dandruff. As this dandruff is a fungal infection, it causes itching on the scalp due to which the person become irritable and he is compelled to scratch his scalp which is the better feeling for the person. Sometimes due to scratching the scalp, the scalp becomes inflamed and injured too. This might arise some more complications to the person.
