can any one tell me how to get rid of dandruff?

Answer 1

The only shampoo that has always worked for me is Selsun Blue. When I first started using it years ago, it was by prescription only. Eventually it went over the counter and I have continued to use it with good success.

Answer 2

I think your scalp is a bit too dry or there're some bacteria on it. That's why the dandruff is bugging you. You need to choose your shampoo very carefully. Pick up some shampoo that is gives plenty of nourishment to your scalp, DO NOT wash hair with your fingernails scratching your head. That could only make the situation worse, ok? Stay clean, and wash your hair everyday. Your dandruff problem will get better! You may ALSO TRY some herbal treatment. Check it up with your family doctor. Good luck!

Answer 3

Have you tried selenium pills? You can get them over the counter in the vitamin section of the pharmacy. Crush 2 or 3 and mix w/ your shampoo. Preferrably in a separate bottle so you can store it for later use. Work a lather, leave on for 10 mins then rinse thouroughly. Three times a week.

During a workshop that I attended, an MD/PharmD stated that crushed birth control pills along w/ shampoo work great for seborrheic dermatitis and dandruff. Since bcp's are live hormones feed on fungi, yeast etc etc.. In your case dandruff on your scalp. Sounds crazy but I tell you it works! I have tried it myself.

Answer 4

For mild dandruff - Head and Shoulders
For moderate dandruff - Neutrogena T gel, Selsun Blue
For severe dandruff - Nizoral, it contains an effective medication called miconazole and is extremely effective, kinda expensive though

Answer 5

T-gel was the only thing that worked for me. If it's actually just dry scalp though, try rubbing oil into your scalp 10 minutes before your shower. Then, go over the scalp with a fine-tooth comb to pull up the dry skin flakes. Then wash as usual. This is a treatment used for cradle cap on babies, but it is also done in some salons for dry scalp, which is the same thing.

Answer 6

There are many ways of doing this. First off you could use a milder shampoo and coller water, this will prevent your scalp from drying out in the first place. You could also try medicated shapoo such as vosene, this usually helps me. Or if it is really bed you may need to see a doctor as they can give you a special shampoo that cannot be found in shops. Hope it helps!!

Answer 7

Use Head and Shoulders shampoo or another shampoo that costs less that contains the exact same ingredients. Read the bottle and see for yourself what the active ingredient is, then buy a cheaper product with the exact same ingredient. It's not rocket science.

Answer 8

Try using the Neutrogena shampoo T-Gel. It's made with coal tar so it really stinks, but it works wonderfully! I usually shampoo my hair with regular shampoo right after using the stuff just to get rid of the smell.

Answer 9

Head and Shoulders

Answer 10

Head and shoulders. It does the trick.
