Healthy, Flake-Free Scalp
Starts With Expert Care

1. Can dandruff be cured permanently?
Dandruff can be fully controlled, but it may not be permanently cured because it often has recurring triggers like stress, weather changes, scalp oil imbalance, or product buildup. With the right treatment and maintenance routine, most people stay dandruff-free for months or years.

​

2. How long does treatment take to show improvement?
Most patients notice visible improvement in 7–10 days.
For complete control, dandruff treatment usually requires 3–4 weeks, depending on the severity and underlying cause.

​

3. Is dandruff caused by fungus?
In many cases, yes. A natural scalp yeast called Malassezia can overgrow and lead to flakes, itching, and redness.
However, other types of dandruff are caused by dryness, irritation, sensitivity to products, or excess oil — not just fungus.

​

4. Can dandruff cause hair fall?
Yes. Severe dandruff can cause inflammation and constant scratching, which weakens hair roots and leads to increased hair fall. Treating dandruff early helps protect the scalp and improve hair density.

​

5. Should I stop using hair oils during dandruff treatment?
Yes — temporarily.
Oil can worsen dandruff by:
trapping heat and moisture
feeding fungal growth
increasing scalp buildup
It’s best to avoid oiling the scalp until dandruff is fully under control.
(You can continue using hair oil on lengths — but not on the scalp.)
