As anyone who has ever suffered from dandruff will tell you, it can be a big problem that non-sufferers often don’t really understand. And what is not understood by the majority is that whilst the condition is not necessarily dangerous in health terms, it is definitely harmful to the sufferer in many other ways. Thus it is logical that most dandruff sufferers will do whatever they can to get rid of their problem, and in most cases, this is likely to mean turning to commercially produced anti-dandruff products to deal with the problem.
