Hard water certainly contributes since the soap combines with the water mineral and sticks to your skin, becoming an irritant. Certain skin disorders or a fungus called M.furfur can cause or contribute to dandruff.

If a water softener isn't an option, try a good dandruff shampoo. Doctors often recommend Selsun but you may want to ask your doctor for his/her recommendations.

Dandruff are the dead skin cells that shed from off of the scalp. It is not bad for your hair, but it does cause itching and flakes in the hair.

Does washing your hair to much cause dandruff?

Nope. The opposite is true, Washing your hair will get rid of the dandruff while not washing it will cause irritation and give you dandruff. However if you dont wash your hair for like months then the natural oils in your hair will go to a balanced state and you wont have dandruff and your hair will go really nice. But to achieve this takes months of uncomfortable dandruff hair. To avoid dandruff wash it about every three days. If you wash it too often then the shampoo will strip your hair of the natural oils so dont wash it everyday.
