Head and shoulders
Treatment
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. [1] [2] [3]

Use head and shoulders shampoo or try this:
If you are suffering from oily flakes, rinse your hair with vinegar.
For this, you have to follow some easy steps:
•Fill a mug with fresh water
•Mix two tablespoons of malt Vinegar in it
•Use shampoo in your hair that is prescribed by a skin specialist
•Rinse your hair with Vinegar mixed water
•Dry your hair with a clean towel
On the other hand, if you are suffering from dry and white flakes, use oil massage. Following are the steps to take oil massage:
•Make a mixture of hot Castor oil (1 teaspoon), Coconut oil (1 teaspoon) and Mole oil (1 teaspoon)
•Massage gently with the mixture on your scalp
•Keep the hair for about 30 minutes
•Wash your hair with a prescribed shampoo
•Dry your hair with a clean towel
Good luck!
