Hair loss and dandruff are two of the most common scalp problems people face throughout their life. Are they connected, however? Does dandruff cause hair loss? Does dandruff shampoo cause hair loss? Or is there no connection between the two conditions whatsoever and some people are just too unlucky and happen to have them both?<\/p>\n
The quick answer is \u201cNo\u201d \u2013 dandruff doesn\u2019t directly cause hair loss, nor do most dandruff shampoos. We\u2019re specifically using \u201cmost\u201d here not because we know that there are some shampoos that cause hair loss but because we haven\u2019t tried them all, so, who knows what trashy products might exist somewhere on the market.<\/p>\n
But, generally \u2013 neither dandruff nor dandruff shampoos should be the cause of your hair loss.<\/p>\n
They can be a complicating factor, however, and even have cause problems indirectly. Let\u2019s see how that can happen.<\/p>\n
So, if the answer to the \u201cDoes dandruff cause baldness?\u201d question is a \u201cNo\u201d, then what\u2019s the problem? Well, there are several problems, so let\u2019s go over them one by one:<\/p>\n
So, as you can see, why dandruff in pretty much no direct way causes hair loss or baldness, it is a complication and irritation that can often worsen the other problems on your scalp.<\/p>\n
So, if the different causes for both dandruff and hair loss have different treatments and solutions, what should you do if you have both? Well, we won\u2019t beat around the bush \u2013 whatever the exact causes of your problems are, the first thing you should do is go consult a dermatologist. The fact of the matter is that there is a lot of different problems that can lead to hair loss as well as multiple different causes of dandruff. You can have scalp psoriasis, alopecia areata<\/a>, tinea capitis, a severe allergic reaction to a hair dye, folliculitis, lichen planopilaris, and other skin problems that require immediate medical attention.<\/p>\n So, while we won\u2019t try to do your doctor\u2019s work, let\u2019s just go over some of the more standard treatments that you can expect your doctor to recommend:<\/p>\n Again, we are in no way advocating for self-medication unless the problem is still in its early stages, or it\u2019s just mild. In any case of severe hair loss (more than 100 hairs per day) \u2013 see a medical professional immediately.<\/p>\n If you do decide that you want to take some natural measures and remedies in your own hands, then that\u2019s great, as long as it isn\u2019t meant to replace the necessary medical attention your scalp might require. Some of these treatments and measures are simple, others are a little more complicated. Let\u2019s list them quickly below:<\/p>\n Hair loss and dandruff are two of the most common scalp problems people face throughout their life. Are they connected, however?
