A dry scalp, use shampoo & conditioner that moisturize the scalp, head & shoulders & other dandruff shampoo just dry out your scalp making it even more flakier. I use tresemme shampoo * conditioner and they work very good. Also, the exact cause of dandruff is not pin-pointed, but genetics has a large role in it. Poor hygiene does not have a role, contrary to a common misconception. People who comb or brush their hair less often do not shed their scalp of dead skin therefore causing a dandruff buildup. Dry skin and stress are also factors.
