Dandruff generally occurs on the scalp in two types - dry or greasy:

Dry dandruff is usually caused by excessive cleansing. If the care content of the products used for cleansing, especially shampoos, is not sufficient, the scalp dries out.
Oily dandruff, on the other hand, usually indicates a scalp fauna that is not in balance. In other words, the natural microbiome of the scalp is disturbed, which in turn stimulates the stratum corneum to form dandruff. Fungal diseases in particular can play a role here.

Scaly hair

Features

Dandruff is caused by the disruption of the so-called microbiome as a protective layer of the scalp. The microbiome is responsible for the balance between the death of old skin cells and the formation of new ones. If it is disturbed, an excessive amount of dandruff develops on the scalp, which is spread over the entire head by the natural movement of the hair.
The causes of scaly scalp can be numerous, often fungal pathogens.
In technical terms, scaly hair is referred to as pityriasis capitis.
