First of all, you need to understand why dandruff forms. See, you shed skin cells all over. But hair holds in the dead skin cells and keeps them from shedding. This creates an accumulation, a scurf.
The problem is worse if you are allergic to the microscopic skin mites that we all have by the millions. The skin, trying to push away the allergen, produces more skin cells. [Here's a test to determine whether you're allergic to microscopic skin mites: Scratch your scalp vigorously and inhale your fingertips. If you start sneezing, you're allergic.]
In order to allow the dead skin cells to shed, you need to shave your head. And keep it shaved! You don't notice any dandruff on your body where there's no hair to begin with? Don't give the skin mites a good hiding place! Shave your head!
