What is dandruff ? 
The human skin is always being replaced. The steady turnover of cells means that small scratches and stains that affect only the superficial layer of the skin are quickly forgotten. Occasionally the skin produces new cells too quickly and the older, discarded cells seem to fall off or to be pushed off the skin like snow flakes. When this happens to skin elsewhere on the body, the disorder is known as Psoriasis, but when it affects the scalp, then it's dandruff. Whatever complex names may be given to it, dand is simply the result of a superficial cell turnover that is two or three times the normal rate.
Dandruff is an all common complaint in which the skin of the scalp scales and flakes, resulting in the familiar mantle of white of white specks on clothing, headrests and pillows.
