Guess Who Is Fooling Around On Your Head Right Now?

If you ever suffered from dandruff, then you know how hard, if not impossible, is to get rid of it. Shampoos, treatments, drastic haircuts, all for only a temporary illusion that you’ll get rid of all the trouble, and that you’ll be able to dress in black without worrying that you’ll look like a snowman.

Good news from the science world: the dandruff’s genes were finally sectioned, as announced by Reuters and by the U.S. National Library of Medicine a few days ago. According to this study done by researchers at P&G Beauty, the “creature” responsible for our dandruff (and of another skin conditions) is a fungus called Malassezia Globosa. For scientific details of this study you can follow the links. What’s strange with this fungus is that until now, scientists were not aware that it has reproductive capability, but the study showed that it actually does. This can explain why many times dandruff manages to evade even the most efficient anti-dandruff shampoos.
