Answer 1

It could be caused by stress and your diet(if you eat alot of sugars and salts)......
just keep looking for different shampoos and definietly condiditiors BUT the reason why you can't find one that 'works' is that you should NOT wash your hair EVERYday (no its not unsatitary or gross) it lets the NATURAL oils of the scalp absorb into the hair giving it hydration if you wash your hair everday then your drying out your scalp and not letting theses oils settle in try washing your hair every other day and retry some of the dandruff hair products b/c you might find them to work now if you follow the advice of how much to wash your hair (use hot/warm water also!). This has actually been helpful to alot of people that i've told. Remedies probably could be looked up on google...let me see....Aloe vera Thoroughly rub a thick gel of aloe vera leaves into the scalp; leave overnight; shampoo in the morning.

Apple cider vinegar Apple cider vinegar will help restore the proper acid/alkaline balance of the scalp and kill a bacteria that clogs the pores that release oil to the scalp. The clogged pores result in scales and crusts being formed. Apply apple cider vinegar diluted 50% with water to the scalp and let dry. There is no need to rinse. Another similar remedy suggests pouring two tablespoons into a cup, applying the straight vinegar to the scalp, and leaving it on from 15 minutes to three hours before shampooing. Lemon juice may also be used. It is the acid in these remedies that helps bring the scalp back into chemical balance.

Coconut oil Rub some pure coconut oil in your hair daily. The dandruff should clear up in a few days.

Grapefruit seed extract Mix 7-10 drops with the normal amount of shampoo you use. Massage into your hair and leave on for at least 2 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with water, avoiding contact with eyes.

Listerine For mild cases of dandruff, use the mouthwash Listerine. It has antiseptic properties. Do not use on cases where the skin is broken as the Listerine can be irritating.

If any of this doesn't help see a doctor (best if a dermotologist)they can probably give great product and procedure advice. Good luck!

Answer 2

In some cases dandruff is caused by not properly washing your hair, here are some tips that may help you. When washing your hair, always start with warm water then end with a cold rinse. When washing your hair, make sure you massage your head (This will promote blood circlulation) and also like "scratch" your scalp softly (Assits in removIng dandruff) Also, make sure to rinse all the shampoo, conditioner and residue as this may be the reason why dandruff occurs. Hope that helped, Good luck.

Answer 3

You may have a scalp condition that needs treatment by a dermatologist. A scalp is skin after all. Trying so many shampoos may be causing the problem. Perhaps you are washing your hair with drying shampoos that are causing more flaking.
Try a mild shampoo like Johnson & Johnson's baby shampoo.
Try to see a dermatologist.

Answer 4

It could be a dry scalp issue. Try to not use really hot water and massage your scalp as you shampoo. This will help sometimes as much as the anti-dandruff shampoos.

Answer 5

Do you use conditioner? If not, start. Use a heavy one, and make sure it reaches your scalp. You may just have really dry skin on your scalp.

If that doesn't work, go to a dermatologist. They can write you a prescription for a MUCH stronger dandruff shampoo and conditioner. In the meantime, don't wear dark colored clothing.

I feel for you, I've been there thanks to shampoo allergies.

Answer 6

see a doctor

or try not washing your hair so often. Dandruff is caused by dry scalp, shampoos and soaps dry your skin, and can aid in the process of making it worse, so don't over do it.
