Have you ever thought about why we get dandruff? Let's understand the science behind this.

This Malassezia Globosa fungus is responsible for

dandruff present in your hairs. This fungus makes the condition of your scalp very severe. So let's see what the hell is it doing in your hair.

This Malassezia globosa fungus is present on the skin of every person. And this fungus keeps consuming sebum, an oily substance present on your skin. But some people carry this fungus on their bodies in a very large amount.

The sebaceous gland present in the skin of these people keeps on producing that sebum to keep the skin and hair moist. And this Malassezia globosa keeps eating this sebum. The sebum is then

metabolized by this fungus and a type of oleic acid is produced by this process. And this is the same acid that creates a dandruff-like condition on your scalp. You must be aware that our skin cells get shredded off normally within 2-4 weeks, and their place is taken by the new cells.

But in some people, the dead cells start to make dandruff-like flakes within only 7 days, and the reason behind this is oleic acid.

And this dandruff causes very severe itching on your scalp. But in some cases, this condition gets even worse, which is called Seborrheic Dermatitis.
