Dandruff is the dead skin cell, it is caused by frequent exposure to extreme heat and cold. As it is normal for skin cells to die and flake off, a small amount of flaking is normal and common. Dandruff is a common scalp disorder affecting almost half of the population.
As the epidermal layer continually replaces itself, cells are pushed outward where they eventually die and flake off. In most people, these flakes of skin are too small to be visible. However, certain conditions cause cell turnover to be unusually rapid, especially in the scalp. For people with dandruff, skin cells may mature and be shed in 2–7 days, as opposed to around a month in people without dandruff. The result is that dead skin cells are shed in large, oily clumps, which appear as white or grayish patches on the scalp, skin and clothes.
Malassezia furfur species causes dandruff
Dandruff has been shown to be the result of three required factors:

- The metabolic by-products of skin micro-organisms (most specifically Malassezia yeasts)
- Individual susceptibility
