Any adult can become a victim of Dandruff, but
certain factors can make you more susceptible:
AGE: Dandruff usually begins in young
adulthood and continues through middle age.
That doesn’t mean older adults don’t get
Dandruff, however. For some people, the
problem can be lifelong.
SEX: Because more men than women have
Dandruff, some researchers think male hormones may play a role in Dandruff. Men
also have larger sebaceous glands that
produce oil called Sebum.
SCALP AND OILY HAIR: Malassezia feeds
on oils in the scalp. For that reason, having
excessively oily skin and hair makes you more
prone to Dandruff.
OTHER CAUSES: Still there are inadequate
researches regarding these factors. It is
believed that Adults with Neurological diseases, such as Parkinson’s disease, are
more likely to develop Seborrhoeic Dermatitis
and Dandruff. So are people recovering from
stressful conditions, particularly Heart Attack,
and those with compromised immunity.
