When I was young I thought dandruff was some kinda fungus growing on my head.And I was partly true. Eww.
Dandruff is caused my the shedding of dead scalp skin cells.
On average the scalp skin cells replaces itself about once every month. But if the process decides to speed up, we then get a lot of dandruff, making it more obvious on our shirts.There are some cases where the metabolic rate is increased and there's replacement every 4 days! This would result in red, think, scalp of dandruff patches. There are referred to as seborrhea (seborrheic dermatitis). Seborrhea has been associated with a type of fungus known as Pityrosporum ovale, which is a flora, a.k.a a plant.
So there, we have plants on our heads!
