While it may not always feel like it, the appearance of your hair is a result of your daily habits. Here are a few simple ways you can improve the natural health and beauty of your hair:
An oily scalp causes dandruff. Choose a shampoo that will clean your hair without leaving too much residue—such products are often labeled “clarifying.” Use smaller amounts of shampoo and conditioner to avoid scalp irritation from over-washing.
Rinsing thoroughly prevents dandruff. The build up of compounds from styling products and perspiration contributes to the problem of an oily and flaky scalp. Spend an extra minute to scrub under the water—your scalp will thank you.
Avoiding excessive styling products prevents dandruff. Hair gels, creams, waxes, and dyes can irritate the scalp, so stay away from using these products in excess, if at all. Try to find products with fewer harsh chemicals and more natural ingredients.
A healthy diet prevents dandruff. Avoid excessively fatty and oily foods, as well as additives and preservatives. Heavy fats work their way into skin oils, causing the imbalanced secretion of oils on your scalp that leads to dandruff. Taking Vitamins A and B promotes a healthy scalp and regulates the secretion of oil.
Added stress causes dandruff. Stress in other parts of your life (such as the fluctuating hormones of the female cycle) will affect the state of your scalp (and the rest of your body), so be aware of your mental and emotional health and take time every day to wind down and relax.

Dandruff is actually dry scalp and the pain of the hair. To get rid off you can try a mixture of 2 tbsp of curd and a few drops of honey is rubbed on the scalp half hour before bath and then wash off with a dandruff shampoo.Onion juice is massaged on the scalp half hour before bath,wash off.
This will really help you. Vinegar,lemon juice also works great on dandruff.
Use head & shoulders dandruff shampoo. Drink loads of water.
All the best!!

Get something like Head and Shoulders shampoo with zinc in it. Also, try adding a teaspoon of baking soda to your dollop of shampoo to make it extra clean and scratch up and patches of dandruff. If it's oily or scaly dandruff, it could be like cradle cap (the stuff some babies get). In that case, use some baby oil on the patches to loosen it up, then use a natural bristle brush to get up the scales.
It could very well be dry scalp and not real dandruff. If you use product in your hair, it will build up and flake off with your normal skin. Try products that have extra moisturizing in them. And be sure to brush often with a natural bristle brush. This will bring up the natural oil in your skin. This helps the scalp and hair follicles to stimulate them to be healthier.
>>> PS: That Listerine idea is a very good one too! Thanks!
Good Luck

Home Remedies for Dandruff
Dandruff treatment using Fenugreek Seeds
The use of fenugreek seeds is one of the most important remedies in the treatment of dandruff. Two tablespoons of these seeds should be soaked overnight in water and ground into a fine paste in the morning. This paste should be applied all over the scalp and left for half an hour. The hair should then be washed thoroughly with soap-nut (ritha) solution or shikakai.
Dandruff treatment using Lime
The use of a teaspoon of fresh lime juice for the last rinse, while washing the hair, is another useful remedy. This not only leaves the hair glowing but also removes stickiness and prevents dandruff.
Dandruff treatment using Green Gram Powder
A valuable prescription for removal of dandruff is the use of green gram powder. The hair should be washed twice a week with two tablespoons of this powder mixed with half a cup of curd.
Dandruff treatment using Beet
Beets have been found useful in dandruff. Both tops and roots should be boiled in water and this water should be massaged into the scalp with the finger tips every night. White beet is better for this purpose.
Dandruff treatment using Snake Gourd
The juice of snake gourd has been found beneficial in the prevention and treatment of dandruff. The juice should be rubbed over the scalp for this purpose.
Dandruff treatment using Other Remedies
Dandruff can be removed by massaging the hair for half an hour with curd which has been kept in the open for three days, or with a few drops of lime juice mixed with amla juice every night, before going to bed. Another measure which helps to counteract dandruff is to dilute cider vinegar with an equal quantity of water and dab this on to the hair with cotton wool inbetween shampooing. Cider vinegar added to the final rinsing water after shampooing also helps to disperse dandruff.
Dietaries for Dandruff
All-fruit diet with three meala a day of juicy fruits
Diet plays an important role in the treatment of dandruff. To begin with, the patient should resort to an all-fruit diet for about five days and take three meals a day of juicy fruits.
Avoid citrus fruits, bananas, tinned fruits
Citrus fruits, bananas, dried, stewed, or tinned fruits should not be taken.
Well-balanced diet
After the all-fruit diet, the patient can gradually adopt a well-balanced diet, with emphasis on raw foods, especially fresh fruits and vegetables. Further short periods of an all-fruit diet for three days or so may be necessary at monthly intervals till the skin's condition improves.
Avoid strong tea/coffee, pickles, refined and processed foods
Meats, sugar, white flour, strong tea or coffee, condiments, pickles, refined and processed foods should all be avoided.
Other Dandruff treatments
Keep hair and scalp clean to avoid accumulation of dead cells
The foremost consideration in the treatment of this disorder is to keep the hair and scalp clean so as to minimise the accumulation of dead cells.
Hair should be brushed daily to improve circulation
The hair should be brushed daily to improve the circulation and remove any flakiness. The most effective way to brush the hair is to bend forward from the waist with the head down towards the ground, and brush from the nape of the neck towards the top of the head. The scalp should also be thoroughly massaged everyday, using one's finger tips and working systematically over the head. This should be done just before or after brushing the hair. Like brushing, this stimulates the circulation, dislodges dirt and dandruff, and encourages hair growth. Exposure of the head to the rays of the sun is also a useful measure in the treatment of dandruff.
Warm-water enema
During the first five days of the treatment when the patient takes an all-fruit diet, a warm-water enema should be taken daily to cleanse the bowels. Simultaneously, an attempt should be made to keep the body in good health.

After washing your hair with whatever shampoo you use, be sure to rinse well. Sometimes dry shampoo flakes can add to the problem.
Then wash your hair with Listerine (yes, the mouth wash.), be sure to rub it into your scalp real good. Then rinse again.
