INSUFFICIENT LEANING

Is it true that Dandruff causes hair loss in men and women with scalp flaking?
Unclear. The retrieved items only partially address the claim: a Wikipedia article notes emerging research suggesting a potential association between dandruff and hair shedding, and several reviews and old advertisements list dandruff among many possible contributors to hair loss. None of the sources establishes that dandruff causes hair loss in men and women with scalp flaking.
