Go to sally's and get a bottle of extra strength medidan shampoo. It works wonders. Use it once every two weeks Shampoo with whatever you normally use in between times. I had bad problems with infectious dandruff until I tried this shampoo and I've been using it for about 15 years. It is great!!
Medidan is stronger and less expensive than t-gel, but has the same active ingredient which is coal tar

Effects of dandruff
. Dandruff weakens the roots, and consequently hair starts falling off.
. Dandruff sticks on to the skin of the scalp in a cake form and blocks free flow of air to the roots.
. As a result, hair becomes weak at the roots and loosen their hold.
Dandruff - Causes
Studies indicate that 50% of adults are affected by dandruff at some time or the other in their lives. More often than not, it is the result of a disturbance in the body's metabolic process. Your scalp, like the rest of your skin, is constantly renewing and shedding itself. Old cells die out and give way to new ones. And when the natural balance in the metabolic process is upset, the new cells form faster than the old cells can be shed off. These then accumulate on the scalp in the form of flakes. The metabolic process can be disturbed by
. Drugs
. The onset of puberty
. Emotional stress and strain
. Sudden changes in the climate or your diet.
. It is also believed that dandruff is caused by a fungal infection of the scalp.
Factors that may augment a dandruff condition
Infrequent shampooing of hair, inadequate rinsing and excessive use of a hot hair dryer (which also causes contact dermatitis), aggravates dandruff. You could prevent dandruff by shampooing regularly with a mild shampoo. Massage your scalp gently to loosen flakes and rinse the hair and scalp thoroughly.
Excessive use of hairsprays and gels and improper use of hair coloring products can cause dandruff. Tight fitting hats and scarves should be avoided.
A combination of cold weather, low humidity and dry indoor heat could explain persistent dandruff.
Poor diet, food allergies, hormonal imbalances, and infections can all lead to dandruff.
Your Comb/ Brush and dandruff
Never use the brush or comb of the person suffering from dandruff as it is dangerous and contagious. Likewise, make sure that you wash your comb/brush after every shampoo if you have dandruff yourself! Many medicines, medicated soaps and shampoos are available to counter dandruff, but the most effective is cleanliness of hair. Brush your hair thrice a day and shampoo at least once a week. While washing your hair, take care the water does not trickle down your face. There are chances that you may get pimples.

essential oil of rosemary and rose geranium. Rub into the
scalp and leave for 8-10 minutes. Rinse thoroughly and

2. mix mustard oil with egg and lemon juice cover ur scalp with the paste and then take a warm towel and cover ur head. wash ur head after half an hour
3. mix mustard oil with yougart and a few drops of lemon juice. cover ur scalp with the paste and massage for a few minutes. leave it for an hour and then wash ur head.
