Why don antidandruff shampoos get rid of dandruff forever? Why do flakes come back?
Malassezia, the leading cause of dandruff, is a naturally occurring fungus which is found on everyone’s skin. Some people are more sensitive to its presence than others; those who are more sensitive develop dandruff. Malessezia can be removed by regular treatment with Head & Shoulders shampoos and conditioners. However, if treatment stops, the fungus will naturally return—along with the flaky by-products.
