No. It's not contagious. It's not a "condition" that can be passed from person to person. It's something that has gone wrong with your scalp. You either didn't wash out all of the shampoo, have dry skin due to the fact that it's the winter season - which is the season where most skin dries out - or, people just have the dandruff! It happens. There are several treatments for this condition, but you won't be able to "get it" from anyone, and you cannot "pass it on" to anyone else.

No it is certainly not contagious.
Perhaps it's because it is now winter, and a good part of the population end up with a dry scalp during the winter months. And, this is NOT dandruff, it's only dry scalp. Ask any dermatologist or doctor, and they can tell you that actually a very small % of people actually have a real case of dandruff. Most people do NOT need something like Head and Shoulders Shampoo, simply one that is moisturizing!
Most people have a dry scalp due to a variety of reasons:
1. Low humidity
2. Dehydration (drinking enough water/fluids every day alleviates this)
3. Blow drying (very bad for both hair and scalp!)
4. Hormonal changes
5. Diet
6. Medications

dandruff is a condition that it caused by not only dry scalp but dirty hair...
a lot of dandruff can also be caused by the amount of goop you put in your hair...like all the products that are used to "style" now..
you need to wash your hair EVERY DAY...do it at night so your scalp has a chance to breathe.....without all the crap in your hair and on your scalp...
dandruff is NOT contagious...unless you think about the fact that teenagers are all doing exactly the same thing,,,,cuz it's COOL...
Clean urself up....and u'll get rid of the dandruff
