Dude, head and shoulders shampoo.
Seriously.
If it's reaaaaaal bad, you can have a doctor prescribe you special shampoo. Gotta go to a dermatologist though!

What is dandruff?
Dandruff is a shedding of the skin on the scalp that leads to white flakes on the head, neck, and shoulders.
What causes dandruff?
Dandruff may be caused by a form of a skin condition called eczema, which causes increased shedding of normal scalp skin cells. Hormonal or seasonal changes may make dandruff worse.
What are the symptoms?
Common symptoms of dandruff include white, oily-looking flakes of dead skin in your hair and on your shoulders and an itchy, scaling scalp. Your scalp can be either excessively dry or oily.
How is it treated?
Home treatment often helps prevent and get rid of the symptoms of dandruff.
Use an antidandruff shampoo. A variety of shampoos are available, containing different ingredients. Trying several will help you find out which antidandruff shampoo is most effective for you.
Shampoo daily to prevent a build up of dead skin cells on your scalp.
If an antidandruff shampoo helps stop dandruff for a while but the dandruff problem returns, try a different antidandruff shampoo.
Alternate antidandruff shampoos with regular ones if you are worried about the effects of antidandruff shampoos' harsh chemicals on your hair.
Rub your scalp. When you wash your hair, lather once, rinse, then lather a second time and rub your scalp vigorously as you shampoo. This will help dislodge excess cells. Be careful not to rub so energetically that you damage your scalp.
Let it soak. After you lather the second time, let the medicated shampoo sit on your head for 5 minutes. This will give the antidandruff shampoo time to work.
Rinse well. This will help get rid of all the cells you have loosened up during shampooing.

I had an analogous situation. I washed my hair with a dandruff shampoo. Selsun Blue. I moist my hair contained in the sink. Stood up and lathered up my hair with a handful of shampoo. Left it on my hair fo a million/2 an hour giving it a very thorough scrubbing then thoroughly rinsed it out. It tingled even though it felt super and have been given rid of my dandruff.

I just overcome this problem,my friend.
It is so easy. Clean the hair and scalp once with the Baby Shampoo. Apply the Body Oil to the scalp and let it soak for a while .Wash the hair and scalp again with the Baby Shampoo.
Hope this remedy can work for you.

There are many special kinds of shampoos that exsist to help you against dandruff. Most of them work you just have to use a daily treatment of it. The more painful way if to massage your scalp with your finger tips really hard when you are washing your hair. (not recomended)

I assume you have tried Dandruff shampoo?
For me I learned I had dry Scalp not dandruff so when I switched to dry scalp shampoo that solved my problem.
