Very interesting, Dandruff is widely linked to fungus with Malassezia being the most prevalent species and cause.

What is really interesting is if you dig deeper into the data you can find that these fungus eat certain oils in sebum leaving behind specific metabolytes and an undesired ratio of oil in sebum which is what I think causes the symptoms of dandruff...it is essentially a side effect.

Good observation. Only thing which really works on the dandruff is Ketoconazole. However, washing hair with ketoconazole shampoo can leave your dry. So I guess adding deep conditioner to the shampoo makes real sense. Also, I see lot of people apply hair oil before washing their hair with shampoo.

Do you like this idea? Please share your thoughts.

I do. However, my worry is that most people in the HN community do not have organic chemistry experience as such they wouldn't understand the significance of the venture.
