things to remember:
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.
home remedies:
Add six spoonfuls water, two spoonfuls pure vinegar and apply it on the scalp with cotton wool before going to bed. Tie a towel around your head to protect the pillow. Wash your hair next morning. After shampooing, rinse again with vinegar water. Continue this once a week for at least three months.
• Mix a spoonful of lemon juice with two spoonfuls of vinegar and massage on the scalp. Wash your hair with an egg shampoo after this.
• Soak fenugreek (methi) seeds in yogurt overnight and apply the curd on your scalp for half an hour before washing in the morning.
• Hair washed with methi seed paste prevents dandruff, falling hair, baldness and dandruff keeping the hair long, healthy and black. Just soak the fenugreek seeds overnight in water to soften the seeds and grind in the morning to make paste. Before hairwash, apply this paste on scalp and hair and leave it on for half an hour. Wash off with shampoo later.
i recommend u not to use dandruff shampoos like head and shoulders because that will make ur hair rough and frizzy. just try out the home made remedies which is natural and use the daily normal shampoo with conditioner.

Use a dandruff shampoo like Head and Shoulders or Selson Blue. If your problem is a dry scalp, try shampoos and conditioners that are aimed towards moisturizing. Also, make sure when you use certain products in your hair, that you wash it out completely. Leftover gel, hairspray, etc.. can leave residue resulting in dandruff.

Suggested internal causes include hormonal imbalance, excessive perspiration, excessive consumption of sugar, fat, or starch, emotional stress, lack of rest, heredity pre-disposition, poor hygiene, allergy (dairy products, chocolate, nuts and shellfish), and poor nutrition.
Possible external causes include infrequent shampooing of the hair or inadequate rinsing, cold weather and dry indoor heating, improper use of hair-coloring products, hairsprays and gels or excessive use of electric hair curlers, and infection with a fungus called Pityrosporum ovale. P. ovale lives on our bodies and scalp all the time, usually without causing a problem. Unfortunately, for some people, it can increase in numbers, leading to dandruff.
Treatment-
1.Refined carbohydrates in white flour or sugar can cause dandruff and should be avoided because they deplete the body of B-vitamins.
2.Apple cider vinegar used as a hair rinse after a shampoo has a reputation for balancing scalp pH levels, removing soap residue and controlling dandruff.
3.Nizoral is the only shampoo containing a patented active ingredient known as ketoconazole. This ingredient is proven to be effective against P. ovale and acts directly to inhibit growth of the fungus. This product is the number one choice of doctors and pharmacists, when recommending an anti-dandruff shampoo. The effects of Nizoral can last several days, making daily use unnecessary.
5.A diet low in essential fatty acids can result in skin problems, such as dandruff. Take a fish oil /flax seed oil supplement ( 3x/day )
6. vitamin B6 deficiency can cause dandruff.
Get a B complex ( 50mg ) - 1x/day.
7.Liver cleanse - try one at the natural stores

An hour before taking a bath cut a lemon into four pieces and apply it on your scalp, keep it for an hour and then wash your thoroughly.
Continue it for some weeks and then see the effect..

Massage scalp with coconut oil. We have been doing these for thousands of years. It works, it moisturies, conditions and your hair will be all around healthy and shinny.
Do this before you go to bed and wash hair in the morning. You won't need to you conditioner.
