Research shows that an irritated scalp can damage hair. When hair grows from a dandruff-ridden scalp, its cuticles and proteins are significantly more damaged than hair that grows from a healthy scalp.
Furthermore, if your scalp is itchy due to dandruff, scratching can further damage your hair and make it more prone to breakage.
Therefore, if you have dandruff, even if your hair grows at the same rate, the new hair is likely to be less healthy and more prone to damage and breakage.
