Use Head and Shoulders daily, and the brown shampoo, (sorry, can't think of the name right now,) about three times a week.

If it lessens, try the brown stuff two times a week and the Head and Shoulders the rest of the time.

Hopefully you will grow out of this as you get older.

Hey Nik

Here are some answers and remedies for the issue.

Cause
It is frequently due to digestive disturbances, and is highly related to the general health of the entire body.

The most common cause of dandruff is seborrheic dermatitis, a mild scalp inflammation with excessive fatty secretions that usually starts as dry or greasy scaling of the skin, but may progress to yellow-red scaling bumps along the hairline, behind the ears, in the ear canals, on the eyebrows, on the bridge of the nose, in the folds around the nose, or on the breastbone. Don`t pick or your scratch scalp, as this will only exacerbate your condition.

When infants get dandruff, it is called cradle cap, which is a yeast problem. Many skin experts in Europe consider dandruff in adults to also be a yeast problem. In other words, dandruff is often an external symptom of an internal problem. Therefore, dandruff treatments can be similar to those for treating candidiasis.

Have you tried some tar soap? That can help better than most dandruff shampoos.
