Most people shed a few flakes of dandruff, particularly during the winter(myself included, oh the joys). In the winter months the scalp and skin are morelikely to be dry. There are individuals who have a hereditary tendancy to develop skin problems that can be triggered by certain foods. These foods will vary from person to person but there are a few more common offenders: hot liquids, heavily spiced foods, and alcohol. To control mild dandruff doctors usually recomend shampooing daily until the dandruff is under control and then go to twice a week for maintenance. Dandruff shampoos contain zinc and/or selenium which work as an exfoliant to speed up the sheeding of the dead cell layers from the scalp.
