Whitney Houston, superstar of records, films, dies at 48

LOS ANGELES (AP) —Whitney Houston, who ruled as pop music's queen until her majestic voice was ravaged by drug use and her regal image was ruined by erratic behavior and a tumultuous marriage to singer Bobby Brown, has died. She was 48.

Beverly Hills police Lt. Mark Rosen said Houston was pronounced dead at 3:55 p.m. Saturday in her room on the fourth floor of the Beverly Hilton. A Los Angeles County coroner's official said early Sunday that her body had been taken to a morgue.

Tips for Dandruff Treatment

One of the most annoying hair problems is the presence of dandruff. This ‘flaky’ problem makes someone feel uncomfortable throughout the day. One main thing about having dandruff is how the person avoids wearing black shirts to avoid public embarrassment from falling dandruff.

Causes of Dandruff

Having excessive dandruff can be particularly embarrassing for some people, especially when flakes gather on shoulders of shirts or when flakes come out like a snowstorm when combing your hair.

Excessive dandruff isn’t something that typically goes away after the teen years either. A person can get dandruff as an infant or as a senior and it is not something people tend to grow out of.

Dandruff has many different causes. In some cases, dandruff may be caused by dry skin, which often leads to small and dry flakes. However, it can also be caused by seborrheic dermatitis, which is characterized by red, greasy skin covered with flaky white or yellow scales.

Dermatitis can be caused by fungal or even bacterial infection on the scalp, which can be spread by sharing towels, hair brushes, and combs.

Dirty scalp also contributes to dandruff buildup. If the hair and scalp is not regularly washed, oil and dead skin tissue tends to collect.

Stress and poor diet can also affect the development of dandruff, which can warn people that they may not be eating properly and that they may need to reduce the stress in their lives.

Although there are many causes of dandruff, there are some reliable solutions that can help control dandruff. Keep an eye out for products containing Zinc Pyrithione, Climbazole, Octopirox and Ketoconazole.
