Dandruff is a bothersome problem sometimes thought to be associated with inefficient hair care.
In fact, dandruff is a medical problem which is really caused by a fungus. This fungus is a normal inhabitant of the human skin and therefore never disappears entirely. Inexplicably, in some people it grows faster - at three times its normal rate. Recent research findings have shown that the skin scales associated with dandruff are a result of, rather than the cause of, this medical condition. It would be fair to say that as the presence of this fungus is a natural occurence we cannot get rid of it completely without the help of medication.
