Dandruff is a common skin condition that many people suffer with. It causes the skin to shed dead skin cells more quickly and the sufferers often have oily skin which causes the cells to clump together and cause white flakes in the hair. It is not known what causes dandruff but it is a harmless condition that can be treated at home.

There are a number of nutritional changes that could be beneficial in reducing dandruff or even clearing it up. There are also herbal remedies such as tea tree oil that can be massaged into the scalp to prevent dandruff. There is a belief that stress could contribute to dandruff and so you could consider stress reducing therapies like yoga, Tai Chi, meditation and massage.
