What is dandruff made of and how come bright haired people don’t have dandruff?

Blondes, red-heads, some brunettes don’t have dandruff. Why not?

Also, what is dandruff made of? I see like none in my head, I scratch it and a whack full of tiny dandruff pieces come flying out of my scalp! Is it pieces of dead skin?

    yes dandruff is dead skin they do have some but it blends in with their hair color you should try head and shoulders shamppo you start seeing progress in like 3 to 4 weeks try showering everyday or at leat every other day since some peopke say showering every day is bad hope you take my advice!! :]

    Yes its basically dead skin cells.
    i don’t know people with darker hair tend
    to be those of different ethnicities and have
    like it in their genes i guess?
    yeah my hair’s like really dark brown and if i
    accidentally scratch it’s like white all over and
    there’s flakes everywhere and my scalp is all
    white! lmao; we get used to it :)

    if its bothering you: try head & shoulders or
    selsun blue.. i’ve tried both.

    yeah seriously i just look at my head and it looks
    healthy and then i scratch it and wahla flakiness.

    and also people with darker hair SOMETIMES tend
    to have a little drier scalps. though its really really
    common.

    dandruff is dead skin that flakes off because your scalp isn’t moisturized enough….your head is just like the rest of your skin, it needs moisture. try a really deep conditioner. and try head and shoulders shampoo. and blondes get dandruff too, you just cant see it very well. i sometimes get it in the winter and im a blonde. most people get it at least once and its not gross, its just dry skin so don’t be embarrassed

    it is jus dead skin on your head and maybe you have a healthy head but you probably have it but you cant see it because your hair is so bright..

    Dandruff is dead skin from your scalp. People with light hair can get it, you just don’t notice it as much as some one who had dark hair.
