Experts Highlight Importance of Scalp Care and Piroctone Olamine in Managing Dandruff

Analysed 15 Jun 2026·4 sources analysed·Lifestyle
Experts Highlight Importance of Scalp Care and Piroctone Olamine in Managing DandruffPreviousNext

Dandruff, affecting over 70% of Indians, is caused by the naturally occurring fungus Malassezia globosa, which disrupts the scalp's microbiome and leads to itching, redness, and flaking. External factors like pollution, sweat, and stress worsen the condition. While many shampoos clean hair, only those containing ingredients like Piroctone Olamine effectively target the scalp imbalance causing dandruff. Experts emphasize scalp care as essential for healthy hair, noting that treating symptoms without addressing the underlying scalp environment often results in recurring issues.
