You know how if you put glue on your hand or arm and you have to scratch the dry glue off, well i have dandruff thats the same way. I have had this problem for more than a decade. Sometimes around my ear(the area between the top of my ear and my head), an oily substance developes which dries and becomes the same thing thats on my head.
Can you tell me what i can use to get rid of this.
Should i use Shampoo, Conditioner, or Shampoo and Conditioner.
Also what name brand should i use.
Did it solve your problem as well assuming you had the same problem.
I have had a view people say the same thing and i was wondering if you will say the same thing they did. I would tell you what it was, but it might change what your answer was going to be.

Nizoral Shampoo is the best, otherwise Selsun or Head and shoulder.

The appearance of flakes can be reduced, especially in those who suffer from only a mild case of dandruff, by proper hair care. Some people mistakenly avoid washing their hair, believing that the drying effect of shampoo will worsen their dandruff. By washing the hair regularly, however, dead skin is in fact removed before it can build up into larger, more noticeable flakes. Using acid-based shampoos helps restore acidity to the scalp, breaking down oils and preventing dead skin cells from collecting into visible clumps. However, shampoos with milder medication, or shampoos that are not marked to treat seborrheic dermatitis, may have little to no effect on redness and irritation.
Household remedies to get rid of dandruff are apple cider vinegar (the gold standard of household remedies), salt or lemon juice. Apply the liquid to the scalp and allow to remain for several minutes to several hours, even overnight, then shampoo and rinse clean in the shower. One good way to apply the liquid is from a spray bottle, or simply by pouring over the head. Apple cider vinegar can also be used as a rinse after shampooing: the vinegar will act as both a fungicide to fight the cause of the cell buildup, as well as a rinsing agent, which will rinse clumps of skin away before they appear large enough to be visible.
Severe forms of dandruff, particularly if accompanied by flaking or scaling on other parts of the body, should be treated by a dermatologist. Dandruff can occur in conjunction with skin conditions such as seborrheic dermatitis and psoriasis.
Dandruff varies from person to person. It may be necessary to try various shampoos with different active ingredients (selenium sulfide, tar, salicylic acid, zinc pyrithione, ketoconazole) to find the best suited for any one individual. Also, an individual may find that alternating between different treatments will be more effective than sticking with a single treatment, which can become less effective over time.
Tea tree oil's antifungal activity has been found useful in the treatment of dandruff.

Here's what I do:
1) For one week, only use Extra Strength Denorex Shampoo/Conditioner combo. It tingles a LOT; dont' get it in your eyes!
2) After a week, use it twice a week while using your regular shampoo/cond. the other days. Do this for two weeks.
3) Use the Denorex once a week after that.
If symptoms start rearing their ugly head again, repeat from step 1.
Good luck!

One day a week, you should put olive oil on your head and let it soak in for about an hour. Then wash it off with a regular shampoo. After that, shampoo with this product called Denorex Shampoo (follow directions.)

get your head shaved so it'll be easier to treat before you actually begin any treatment.... also, baby oil 15 minutes before a shower might help.
as for shampoos and/or conditioners, every person is different so different things work out for them.... i suggest asking a doctor or someone who actually knows about this stuff.
