An itchy scalp and flakiness are the hallmark signs of dandruff condition, but it may also cause other symptoms like greasy patches on the scalp and itching skin. Underlying causes of dandruff include dry skin, seborrheic dermatitis, sensitivity to hair products and the growth of a specific type of fungus that lives on the scalp. It is an aggravating and embarrassing scalp condition. It is characterized by white flakes on the scalp. Apart from itchiness, the flakes can come loose from the scalp in the form of Dandruff and cover the hair and clothing. While not typically considered a serious medical condition, dandruff can cause significant worries and frustrations. It may be worsened by sensitivity to a yeast micro-organism which is normally on the scalp and skin.

Washing the hair with Anti-dandruff shampoos is one of the best ways to control dandruff. The anti-dandruff ingredient used in the shampoo plays a vital role to control dandruff. There are many anti-dandruff ingredients used, but one of the most effective anti-dandruff ingredients used in shampoos is Zinc Pyrithione.
