But why do people get never-ending dandruff while others do not? How to reduce or get rid of dandruff effectively? The answer is simple: try anti-dandruff shampoos containing zinc pyrithione.
What is dandruff?
According to zinc pyrithione suppliers, dandruff is not only a personal hygiene problem, and the World Health Organization included shiny hair and no dandruff into the ten health standards. Dandruff, the keratinocytes shed on the scalp and is created by the mixture of oil and yeast (a fungus called Malassezia). Almost anycan have dandruff, but under normal circumstances, no one can find the dandruff which has less keratinocytes shed and is well hidden. But as zinc pyrithione manufacturers suggest, if external irritation happens, a large number of caked-on keratinocytes that have not yet grown to maturity will be shed. External irritations mainly include the oils coming out of the scalp and Malassezia that feeds on sebum, the oily stuff produced by hair follicles. Malassezia can be found on the skin of animals and humans, and it cannot grow without sebum. So it is concentrated on the scalp, face and other areas where sebaceous glands are densely distributed.
Malassezia may proliferate on the scalp surface if people produce much sebum, and increase its levels by 1.5 to 2 times if people get dandruff, based on the study made by zinc pyrithione suppliers. Moreover, in the process of decomposing sebum and providing nutrients to itself, Malassezia also produces fatty acid and other by-products, so inflammatory responses will occur if your scalp is sensitive. Common inflammatory responses include irregular cracks and dandruff on the scalp, itchy scalp, inflamed hair follicles, and small and itchy pustules on the scalp, etc.
But do not get your knickers in a twist! Since dandruff is caused by fungus, using an ingredient that kills or prevents the growth of fungal to wash your hair might just do the trick. Zinc pyrithione manufacturers usually recommend users trying anti-dandruff shampoos containing zinc pyrithione.

To attain a synergistic effect, zinc pyrithione may be incorporated into hair-care cosmetic compositions in an amount of 0.001˜5% by weight based on total weight of the composition. The particle size of zinc pyrithione helps itself dispersed in the shampoo and remain stable, increasing contact surface area and the amount to be adsorbed to the skin when people use the shampoo to wash hair.
