Dandruff - dry scalp or other condition?

By the age of 20, nearly 50 percent of the world has had one bout of dandruff and nearly 20 percent of Americans will suffer from the condition; however, not all flaking scalp skin is the result of dandruff

Flaking dead skin cells from dandruff results from a fungal infection producing oleic acid, which in turn increases the rate of skin shedding from your scalp

Simple dietary changes such as reducing carbohydrates and increasing healthy fat have a significant impact on treatment of flaking skin, whether from dry skin or reducing the effects of a fungal infection

Natural remedies for dandruff that are healthier for you and the environment include patchouli oil, tea tree oil, coconut oil, apple cider vinegar and garlic.  (Article from Dr. Mercola). Use sulfate and paraben free shampoo with patchouli and tea tree.  Sulfate, Paraben Free Hair Products
