Hair loss has a lot of causes – but did you know dandruff could be one of them? Find out why and what you can do to keep your hair stronger and thicker
If you want healthy hair, you have to take good care of your scalp. An unhealthy scalp produces unhealthy hair – it’s simple really.
If you often see hair on your pillow when you wake up or pull out lots of strands when brushing, your hair is probably weak and suffering from damage.
Our scientists have found that hair growing from a dandruff-irritated scalp is already more damaged than hair from a healthy scalp…and that’s before you start scratching. The weakened cuticle surface provides less protection to the hair fiber as it grows, and could leave you more likely to experience hair loss due to breakage.
Resist the itching
An itchy scalp is one of the main symptoms associated with dandruff, but if you give in and scratch, you might cause further physical damage to your scalp and encourage more hair breakage.
