Apple Shampoo

Dandruff, one of the worst problems to affect human hair, has become quite widespread now-a-days. It is nothing, but excessive shedding of dead skin cells, from the scalp of a person, mainly when he undergoes repeated exposure to extreme heat and cold conditions. While a small amount of skin cell flaking is experienced by almost all the people in this world, it is when the flaking exceeds normal limits that it takes the shape of dandruff.

Apart from being harmful for the hair of a person, dandruff creates social problems as well. For instance, a person with too much dandruff might become the butt of jokes amongst his/her friends. This makes it important for people to treat the problem at the earliest. In this context, you will find dandruff shampoo to be quite useful.
