Summary:A noninvasive method for measuring dandruff in a subject comprising collecting an epithelial cell /skin cell sample from the subject; detecting a level of an antimicrobial peptide biomarkers being human beta-defensin-2 (hBD-2 in the epithelial cell sample/skin cell sample; diagnosing the subject as having dandruff based on the level of human beta-defensin-2 (hBD-2) biomarker and determining the amount of the human beta-defensin-2 (hBD-2) biomarker in the epithelial cells as compared to a normal population. Further, a noninvasive method for evaluating the efficacy of products for dandruff.
