No, dandruff does not cause hair loss. This is an anomaly of the epidermis; the hair itself grows normally. If you are experiencing hair loss, it could be a case of alopecia, common baldness, or another scalp condition. It is best to consult a doctor to get a precise diagnosis and advice for treatment.
