Dandruff is a hair-condition when sebum is overproduced by the body, and when a fungus named Malessezia globossa feeds on it. It results in excessive shedding of the dead cells from the scalp leading to formation of pesky flakes, irritation and redness of the skin. This condition can be attributed to the lifestyle, stress, pollution, hormonal imbalance and poor diet of an individual.  It can seem to be an unconquerable enemy, whose presence causes several social issues to most of us.
