HOW DOES DANDRUFF CAUSE HAIR LOSS?

Dandruff is a condition where dead skin cells and white flakes are shed off from the scalp. You will never know you have dandruff until you feel the unbearable urge to scratch your head. Oftentimes you’ll see white flakes embedded in your fingernails but if you use the palms of your fingers, then most likely your friends will find the flakes on your hair or shoulders – totally embarrassing.

To make you feel better, you are not the only one infected with this irritating condition. Almost half the human population — about 40% — suffer from dandruff. A lot of people probably don’t know they even have it.

The common cause of dandruff is the over secretion of oil called sebum. Sebum is secreted by the sebaceous glands located on each hair follicle. Sebum provides an important role in keeping the scalp and hair moist. Males generally produce more sebum than women; this is the reason why a woman’s skin ages faster than males.

But too much of a good thing may cause harm. Too much oil build-up can clog the skin. The skin is a workhouse; it continuously produces new skin and sheds off older skin. Think of it as layers of skin where the bottom portion is the new skin slowing going upwards and the outermost portions are the older skin being shed off. Now to much sebum production soaks the outer dead skin with oil and with continuous skin shedding, this produces a lump of dead skin cells which is ideal for bacterial growth. This is now the cause of severe itching which can eventually lead to hair loss.

To control dandruff and hair loss, you must control excessive sebum production and the best way to do it is by washing and cleansing your scalp regularly with Nisim Shampoo. This is a deep cleanser that gently removes excessive oil on the scalp without leaving your skin and hair dry. It contains all natural ingredients so it’s safe to use daily with causing any damage to your scalp and hair. And the best thing about Nisim is that it prevents hair loss due to dandruff.
