Dandruff is the result of skin cells of the scalp failing to shed naturally when skin oils and other factors let them build up. Dandruff shampoos contain chemicals that cut through the attachments of old cells and help them separate in a more uniform fashion, often undetected to most people. Dandruff should be seen as a natural part of getting older. It is not a disease but a hair care issue.
