While dandruff does not itself directly cause hair loss, the resultant irritation (itching, scratching, and rubbing) indirectly does exactly that. In this way, living with dandruff is likely to exacerbate hair loss, damage hair follicles, and result in weaker and thinner hair. It is a fact that unhealthy scalp can lead directly to subsequent hair loss while a healthy scalp provides the vital foundation for healthy hair.
