3) Dandruff: The flaky, itchy particles in the scalp are dandruff. This too adds to hair loss. Dandruff can be treated but the treatment has to be done correctly otherwise it can resurface.

Dandruff too is triggered with poor diet, lack of hair hygiene, stress-filled lifestyle and excessive use of styling products. A change in climate and water can also cause this. Salty water, hard water and chlorinated water affect the hair follicles.
