Dandruff is something almost everyone deals with—but did you know there are different types of dandruff? Yes, it’s true! To treat dandruff the right way, you first need to know what type of dandruff you have and why it’s happening. Once you understand the cause, you can treat it properly.

Let’s keep it simple and clear.

Not all dandruff is the same. Here are the most common types:

1. Dry Skin Dandruff

Feels like: Itchy and oily scalp

Why Does Dandruff Happen?

Now that we know the types, let’s understand the reasons behind dandruff. Some common causes are:

Dry Scalp
Cold weather, dehydration, or lack of moisture can make your scalp dry and flaky.

Oily Scalp
When your scalp produces too much oil, it becomes a perfect place for bacteria and fungus to grow—causing greasy dandruff.

Fungal Overgrowth (Malassezia)
This natural fungus lives on our scalp. But when it grows too much, it causes irritation, redness, and flakes.

Hair Product Build-up
Using too much hair gel, spray, or conditioner without proper washing can clog the scalp and lead to dandruff.

Stress and Poor Diet
Lack of sleep, high stress, and unhealthy eating habits can also affect your scalp health.

Skin Conditions
People who have eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis often face dandruff-like symptoms on the scalp.
