Physiology & Medicine / What causes dandruff in your hair?

Sorry to hear about your dandruff problems. It is a much underestimated problem. Particularly if you wake up at night due to the warmth causing your hair to itch.
I had terrible dandruff from age 18, I tried all the usual shampoos, head and shoulders, vosene, selsun etc. but nothing worked. I then tried Nizoral, but had some awful side effects, which other people have also had, see http://www.retaining-hair-health.com/2009/12/nizoral-ketonazole-shampoo.html for more details (but these are anti androgenic side effects which only affect men) however I found the Schwartzkopf Bonacure anti dandruff lotion to be excellent. You apply it after shampoo but don't wash it off. It works incredibly well (for the record I have no connection with Schwartzkopf or anyone who sells it!)
