Is Dandruff contagious??!!

Yes. Dandruff is certainly contagious. One will contract that through contaminated pillow cover, used comb, towel etc.. Especially it is important to keep the comb clean.

Dandruff is not contagious. But it comes under Fungal Infection. Any body in the house uses the same pillow, comb are likely to get afftected by dandruff like in any other fungal infections where clothes should be washed in very hot water, and the same towels should not be used. These things are precationary measures. But this type of fungal infection is not so to spred to others.

no!dandruff is not at all contagious.my hubby has loads of it and i have not contracted it.but it is very depressing and irritating.

No, it's not a disease or parasite. Its just where your scalp is dry & the skin flakes off.

hi pitstop, I cant call it as contagious but it spreads if dandruff comes in contact with your hair. I mean if You use the peron's comb who has dandruff then you can slo get dandruff also by sharing the pillows as well as the same towels and all the things where your head comes in contact with a dandruff particle. You can be carefull about all these small things and always use the shampoos mixed in water and dont directly use the shampoo to your scalp as it contains alot of chemicals which can harm the skin of your scalp.Dont mix hot and cold water while taking hair bath avoid using very hot water if possible use lukewarm or cold water for washing hair,

i dont think so dandruff can be transfer to anyone only i know is head lice better to check to the dermatologist so they can give you good anti-dandruff shampoo and give you some advice :-)

I don't think so. Its a skin condition, and not and infection, so I don't think its transferrable.

I don't think it is contagious. You might be able to give her a few loose flakes, but as far as giving her dandruff, I think it is highly unlikely.
