On this second day, we are going to go over a very common condition— dandruff.

Some reports show that the presence of fungus alone is not sufficient to cause dandruff. It’s suggested, in addition to fungus, that dandruff is caused by a combination of factors such as: stress, genes, climate and other medical condition.
Dandruff and Natural hair
This section is specific to natural hair, not because natural hair is different, but because of practices specific to the “natural hair community” that foster dandruff.
If dandruff is linked to an overgrowth of fungus, then the things we do will facilitate the occurrence.

I hope with this post, you are able to grasp what dandruff is, and what causes it! In the next post, we shall go over remedies for dandruff.
