These are small fragments of the surface of the epidermis (scales) present on the hair and scalp. Usually the scalp, like the skin, renews itself cyclically more or less every 21 days; but when this process accelerates, this cycle only lasts 5 to 7 days. The cells are therefore not mature enough to be eliminated normally, causing small white accumulations: here is dandruff. These very unsightly scales are visible in the hair, on the clothes and on the comb.
