Why is it that i have a dandruff problem when my hair is long?

[alfa147x]

Iv noticed that I will have a slight dandruff problem when my hair is longer then 3 1/2 - 4 inches

what causes this ?

Its fine after i use dandruff shampoo but that stuff rapes my hair and makes it look dead...



i shower 2 - 3 times a day

once in the morning (If i dont shower i cant stay awake )

once in the afternoon after school

and once when i get home from work

I try to keep my head oil free as possible

Thanks

Showering that much definitely contributes to drying out your scalp. You're only supposed to wash your hair max once per day.

Well I thought i read some where on the tubes that oil is what causes dandruff

I would think less hair washing would be the solution.

Uhhhh... dandruff is dry/irritated skin. How exactly is oil going to dry your skin?

The oil your body produces naturally evolved to moisturize your skin. Remove/negate it and you get dandruff.

Dandruff can also be caused by some species of fungi, but dry scalp is by far the most prevalent.
