According to this global survey conducted by the CLEAR Paris Institute, the highest occurrence of dandruff in India is among young adults aged 18 to 30. This is the first-of-its-kind global scalp analysis survey involving participants from Brazil, Mexico, India, China, Russia, Germany, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines. This report presents a global perspective on general consumers perception and attitude towards scalp care and hair concerns. The survey also showed a strong consumer preference for permanent dandruff removal. Confidence is the most commonly cited emotional benefit followed by attraction, on complete removal of dandruff. Clinical research shows that dandruff and other scalp problems like dryness originate deep under the scalp. Washing away visible flakes on the surface does little to treat the root cause, which is a weak and damaged scalp barrier. Thus, dandruff keeps coming back.
