The scalp defends itself against micro-organisms and fungus infections. The defense system protects the scalp against all kinds of influences that it is exposed to. Sometimes this defense system becomes weakened and a certain fungus infection develops called Pityrosporum Ovale. This fungus infection causes considerable cell multiplication. The skin is no longer in a position to defend itself; the scaling becomes rapid, and starts to gather on the scalp. A superfluous cell situation mixing with skin sebum causes dandruff to be formed.

What are the different types of scalp scales?
Most people associate scaling with that of dandruff forming. This is a great misunderstanding. We are now going to explain how to recognize the difference between dandruff and scalp scaling. People with dry and sensitive scalps should not be treated with an anti-dandruff product. Dry and sensitive scalp symptoms may be similar to that of dandruff symptoms but are due to a moisture balance disorder. The scalp has too little moisture and as a result begins to dry out and scaling occurs. This can be compared to the same ‘peeling’ and ‘scaling’ experienced after spending some time under the hot sun
The reasons for the moisture disorder are numerous, and could be caused by internal as well as external factors
External influences
air pollution
calcareous water
extreme temperature changes
inexpertly applied perming and dying lotions
some products are harmful to the scalp
vigorous brushing and using hot hairdryers
Internal influences
emotional stress
nervousness
tiredness
excessive perspiration
change of diet
hereditary factors use of medicine
The above mentioned can have the following effects on a sensitive scalp:
Red patches on the scalp
A dried out scalp where by the scales are small with a white color
Hair pain
Irritations
Itchiness (also with dandruff)
Tense feeling painful feeling
Where does dandruff come from?
We have already discussed the reasons for dandruff. A fungus infection leads to cell multiplication on the scalp. It is similar in appearance to a dry and sensitive scalp but has its own characteristics.
Dandruff comprises of large scales of dead skin which are yellow in color. With dandruff the scalp flakes/scales are greasier. Dandruff displays no red edging around the scales of skin
Dandruff appears in four places on the scalp
on the crown
at the contours
in the neck
behind the ears

People with dandruff experience itchiness of the scalp. Besides this, their problem is very often an ongoing one. Dandruff can be treated and controlled by using the DETOX system. This system comprises of 3 products, which after use produce a 6-week long dandruff free period.
