The cause of dandruff is fungus, a bacteria that you have to treat. It is not contageous, and can be effectively treated by some topical solutions, like Luxiq, and shampoos like Loprox.
The dry scalp is caused due to environmental factors and chemical treatments used for styling the hair. The main reason for the dryness being the depletion of moisture level.
Oily scalp is caused by the overproduction of sebum, by the oil glands in the scalp. This could also be due to the inadequate rinsing out of the hair. See related links below.
from your old shampoo or washing your hair too much
Skin on the body undergoes constant renewal. This means that each and every skin cell, once it dies, gets pushed out and replaced by newer, healthier cells underneath.
Dandruff is essentially this process. Those with dandruff have skin on their scalp that sheds quicker than those without it, making the dead skin "flakes" a lot more noticeable.
Dandruff also occurs when the scalp is exposed to extreme temperatures and cause the skin cells on the scalp to dry out and shed quicker.
To prevent it, use hair products such as "Head and Shoulders" that are designed to treat dandruff. Basically, aim for anything that will keep the scalp healthy and moisturized.
dandruf is caused by dirt that has been decayed by not washing your hair for many days
A common cause of dandruff is because of an incompatible dandruff or if the hair is not thoroughly washed.
Dandruff can have several causes including,
Dry Skin. The kind you get during winter when the air is cold and rooms are overheated. It is the most common cause of itchy, flaking dandruff. Flakes from dry skin are usually smaller and less oily than those from other causes of dandruff.
Irritated, oily skin (sebhorreic dermatitis). This condition, one of the most frequent causes of dandruff, is marked by red, greasy skin, covered with with white or yellow scales. Sebhorreic dermatitis may affect not only your scalp, but other parts of your body rich in oil glands, such as your eyebrows, the sides of your nose, the backs of your ears, your breastbone, groin area, and sometimes your underarms.
Not shampooing frequently enough. If you don't regularly wash your hair, oils and skin cells from your scalp can build up causing dandruff.
Psoriasis. This skin disorder causes an accumulation of dead skin cells that form thick, silvery scales. Psoriasis commonly occurs on your knees, elbows and trunk, but it can also affect your scalp.
Eczema. If you have eczema anywhere on your body, it could also be on your scalp to a possible leading of dandruff.
Malessezia (a yeast-like fungus). Malassezia lives on the scalps of most healthy adults without causing problems, but sometimes it gets out of control, feeding on the oils secreted by your hair follicles. This could irritate the skin on your scalp and cause more skin cells to grow.
As with scalp dandruff, flaking of the skin under the eyebrows can have many causes, from fungal involvement to psoriasis. Using the same topical shampoos as the scalp could help, or a prescription skin treatment.
There is no exact cause of dandruff. However, scientists have developed a list of factors that trigger dandruff in many people:
1) Oily skin
2) Oily scalp
3) Sweating
4) Poor hygiene
5) Weather (hot&humid or cold&dry)
6) Infrequent washing or shampooing
7) Emotional or mental stress
Those are some of the many factors of dandruff. For more information you can go to this website: http://www.emedicinehealth.com/dandruff/article_em.htm

This is usually an extremely common condition called seborrheic dermatitis. Your body makes too much skin in certain areas (the scalp, the eyebrows, around the nose, and in the moustache or beard area if there is hair there) and this causes it to crust and flake. Many people may have a less noticeable form, called dandruff. Sometimes, this condition is caused by a fungal infection, but usually it is not.
Treatment includes a dandruff shampoo (selenium sulfide) applied to the area 2-3 times per week for control of flaking.
Other possible causes, include sunburn to the area.
