I read an article from Dr. Joseph M Mercola Do website.. an it says YES Dandruff is CAUSED by a Fungus but dandruff itself is not the fungus since dandruff is the shedding of scalp skin..
The fungus name is .......drum roll ............ Malassezia Globosa
The real cause of dandruff is a yeast-like fungus called Malassezia globosa which eats skin oils. Dandruff fungus uses lipases which creates a by-product oleic acid which is a fatty acid which triggers the shedding of scalp skin cells.
Dr. Mercola suggested that that we need to leave selenium or zinc overnight into our scalp since those both kills Malassezia Globosa dandruff fungus. He recommended Selsun Blue and head and shoulder .
hmm with that being said, i guess i need to take a look at Selsun blue reviews too and add it to my list of best dandruff shampoo...
The quest to kill Malassezia Globosa dandruff fungus is on-going ... may humans win this battle ...
