Answer 2

Dandruff Treatment
Unfortunately there is no cure for dandruff yet (once you get it you may continue to have it), but there are ways that you can control and limit dandruff.

If you have only a mild case of dandruff, shampooing your hair with a regular shampoo daily or twice a day will usually do the trick.

Start out by trying a mild shampoo, stronger shampoos can irritate and dry out your hair making dandruff flaking worst.

If your standard shampoo doesn't get rid of your dandruff, buy an anti-dandruff shampoo and your dandruff condition should improve signifigantly in a couple of weeks.

Picking the right shampoo for your hair can be a process of trial and error, try out different shampoos to see which one works best for you and also rotating shampoos periodically can be good for your hair.

Once you have found an anti-dandruff shampoo that works for you, keep on using it or your dandruff will most likely reoccur.

Lather and rinse twice when using anti-dandruff shampoos, the first time cycle will clean your scalp, the second cycle will medicate it.

Im a manager of a hair and beauty salon and dandruff may not be what you think, dandruff is actually a yellowish skin on top of your head (a bit like craddle cap) but if you a flaky scalp which every day people class as dandruff then its just flakey scalp. Go to a Hair salon who sells wella SP range and use the remove shampoo and remove conditioner, hopefully that will work.

Answer 4

please don't use head and shoulders! it's strong enough to clean your cooker. I had a bad case some time back and my hairdresser strongly advised me against h and s. Keratase is good if a bit expensive at 9 quid a bottle! if your scalp is itchy too you need to treat this first, a sensitive itchy scalp causes the dandruff. Use a very mild not strong perfumed shampoo I've found sunsilk for itchy scalps effective. Also try tea tree products, t gel is not in my opinion effective.

Answer 5

I used to had this problem, but than I started using lots of different product and also natural remedies. Try to rinse your hair after you washed it with pepermint tea. Also rinse it with beer as natural yeast helps to reduce the bacteria. Head and Shoulders is a very good shampoo as it cools the scalp down. Also try to put few drops of Tea Tree oil in the shampoo it is antiseptic.

Answer 6

I read somewhere a long time ago that aspirin dissolved in water and used as a hair wash does the job , but check I wasn't dreaming as it may be damaging ASPIRIN ISN'T NORMALLY PUT ON YOUR SKIN.Research this to find out how concentrated the the solution should be if it works?

Answer 7

Sounds like you need to see your Dr and try a prescription medicated shampoo which will work. Your pharmacist should also be able to advise you, it won't be anything in a glamorous bottle with a snappy title, but he or she will have something!
