All of us are likely to encounter or deal with dandruff during our lives. While you might feel slightly embarrassed by visible flakes on your scalp or clothes, “it's very common and around half of all adults will experience it at some point,” says Dr. Amy Vowler, NHS GP and Hair Restoration Doctor at Hair GP.
And dandruff doesn’t just appear on its own as flakes or scales; you may also experience everything from an itchy or irritated scalp to tightness and redness. At the same time, “it's not a hygiene problem; it's your scalp overreacting to the yeast that lives on all of us.”
