What causes dandruff — and why it persists
Dandruff can be triggered by an overgrowth of the yeast Malassezia, dry or oily scalp, product build-up, hormonal shifts or stress. Without proper diagnosis, most people treat symptoms rather than causes.
- Malassezia yeast overgrowth
- Seborrhoeic dermatitis
- Dry vs oily scalp variations
- Product build-up and residue
- Stress and hormone-related flare-ups
- Sensitivity to shampoos/dyes

Frequently Asked
Dandruff Treatment in Chennai — FAQs
Is dandruff contagious?
No, dandruff isn’t contagious — but flare-ups can worsen with poor hygiene, stress or scalp condition. Proper medical care controls it.
Can dandruff cause hair loss?
Persistent inflammation and scratching can weaken hair follicles. Treating dandruff early prevents further hair loss.
How long does dandruff treatment take?
Most patients see relief within 2–4 weeks. Chronic dandruff may need long-term maintenance therapy.
Are your treatments safe for coloured or chemically-treated hair?
Yes. We select products and therapies safe for treated hair, without stripping colour.
Do I need to change my shampoo permanently?
Not always. Once your scalp is under control, we help you transition to a maintenance shampoo you enjoy using.
