Simple dandruff or Pityriasis is a dry scalp problem that can, believe it or not, be controlled with a healthy diet, cleansing, and brushing. 50 million people in the U.S. alone have dandruff and $300 million is spent on products to control it.

Seborrheic dandruff is a more severe condition that a...
