How to get rid of dandruff

Dandruff is a condition in which the cells of the skin and scalp overproduce, causing sloughing, flaking, and more oil gland production.  The skin also houses a mild amount of fungus – yes, unfortunately, this is quite normal and a part of all of our normal healthy bodies.  However, occasionally, this fungus can overgrow.  This can occur not only on the scalp, but also anywhere there is a greater amount of oil glands – like on the eyebrows, around the crease of the nose, around the ears, and on the upper chest or upper back.
