On the scalp, there is always a process of exfoliation of small particles of skin. When all the processes in the body go without disturbance, these particles are easily washed off during the washing of the head. And when the sebaceous glands function with violations, the particles fall off in groups and "snow" is formed, which can be observed on the shoulders, back and strands. This problem is easy to deal with, but this requires establishing the causes of the occurrence.
A fungus lives on the scalp of every person. Until some time, until it gets out of control, it does not cause discomfort or discomfort. But if the scalp begins to produce more than the prescribed rate of sebum, this leads to the active reproduction of this fungus. Which, in turn, leads to the wrong process of cell exfoliation. This is where dandruff comes from. This is one of the common causes of white flakes on the head. But besides this, there are a number of other equally important reasons.
