dry skin of the head specially in winter changes to dandruff and afterwards which leads to hair loss and if we have proper health also we don't come to this problem.

The main causes of dandruff are : impairment of general health, toxic condition of the system brought on mainly by wrong feeding, constipation and lowered vitality due to infectious diseases.Other factors contributing to dandruff are emotional tension, harsh shampoos, exposure to cold
and general exhaustion.

Some reasons for having dandruff is when you apply shampoo and do not rinse it very well. Another is that frequent use of hair styling gel acts on our scalp. Lastly if your hair did not get wet in 3 days dandruff occurs.

My Biology teacher said that as long as we are living, we are going to have dandruff. Have you tried using those dandruff shampoos? Or perhaps your shampoo is making your scalp really dry so try a moisturizing shampoo or hot oil. Hot oil should help alot.

I think dry scalp is due to pollution and also people wont apply oil so due to lack of enough oil in the skull.Actually oil will be automatically generated in the hair .But if it is not sufficient then i think this causes dry scalp.iN order to avoid dandruff before head bath.Heat the oil little warm and add lemon juice in that and apply it and stay for 1 hr and wash it .Then i think this decreases dandruff.

Well dandruff is something which many among us share. If in case you did not notice,dandruff goes after you use a shampoo but on the long run the effectiveness diminishes. My solution to you is that you change your shampoo every six months and once every two weeks you rub lemons on your scalp...trust me it really works.
