Dandruff
1) Make an infusion of 1 ounce each of fresh or dried rosemary and sage in 2 cups of water. Let steep for 24 hours, then use daily as a hair rinse.
2) Boil 5 heaping Tbsp dried thyme in 2 cups water for 10 minutes. Strain and cool. Pour 1/2 mixture over clean, damp hair. Massage into scalp, do not rinse. Use second half of solution another day.
3) Instead of shampooing, massage handfuls of baking soda into the hair and scalp to absorb oil and to loossen dead skin on scalp. Rinse thoroughly, use no other shampoos. While initially the hair may seem dry, after several weeks, dandruff will be gone and hair will be smooth and shiny.
4) Mint Rinse
Boil:
1 cup water
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1 handful of fresh mint leaves
Strain and pour into a container. With fingertips, massage solution into the scalp, let dry without rinsing out.
5) Use the hot oil treatment recipe given on this page.
6) Soothing Herbal Hair Rinse
Combine equal parts of dried rosemary, comfrey, witch hazel leaves and nettles to make about 1/2 cup. Add to 2 cups of water in a covered pot. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let steep overnight. Strain. Shampoo and rinse hair then use herb tea for a final rinse to relieve itchy, flaky scalp.

I had really bad dandruff when I was young. When I started using Selsun Blue it was eliminated. I'm now 56 and for some reason no longer have dandruff at all. I don't even use shampoo any more. It sounds like you might possibly have an infection though if it itches a lot. See a doctor and find out.

Selsun Blue works for me -- I just wanted to make sure you have tried it. If that doesn't work, I suggest you see your family doctor or a dermatologist to get something stronger. It may be that you have a skin disorder more serious than dandruff.

Soak your head in mixture of water and 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar in a small tub. It gets rid of dandruff as well as giving a nice shine to your hair. Make certain you rinse well though...you don't want to go around smelling "vinegary".
