Dandruff

Dandruff is when your scalp gets itchy and flakes off. The flakes are usually white and look like snowflakes. They usually fall off when you scratch your head, or when you brush or comb your hair. It's caused by things like not washing your hair enough, having oily skin, or allergies. To stop dandruff, try washing your hair more often, using special shampoo for dandruff, and using lotion for your scalp.
