Dandruff has been shown to be the result of three required factors: 1) Skin oil commonly referred to as sebum or sebaceous secretions; 2) the metabolic by-products of skin micro-organisms (most specifically Malassezia yeasts); and 3) an individual susceptibility. Rarely dandruff can be a manifestation of an allergic reaction to chemicals in Hair Gels/Sprays,HairOils and sometimes even dandruff medications like Ketoconazole. Common older literature cites the fungus Malassezia furfur (previously known as Pityrosporum ovale) as the cause of dandruff. Whilst this fungus is found naturally on the skin surface of both healthy people and those with dandruff it has recently been shown that a scalp specific fungus Malassezi Globosa is the responsible agent. This fungus metabolizes triglycerides present in sebum by the expression of lipase, resulting in a lipid byproduct oleic acid (OA). Penetration by OA of the top layer of the epidermis, the stratum corneum, results in an inflammatory response which disturbs homeostasis and results in erratic cleavage of straum corneum cells. There is no convincing evidence that food, excessive perspiration or climate have any role in the pathogenesis of dandruff.

There have been many strategies for the control of dandruff. Simply increasing shampooing will remove flakes. However, elimination of the fungus results in dramatic improvement. Regular shampooing with an anti-fungal product will not only treat but prevent recurrence.

Dandruff may be fungal and using shampoo to curb this will help. I like Selson Blue.
If it is excessive, waxy seborrhea T-Gel is another shampoo. It is tar based and smells awful, but helps.
If the scalp is dry do not wash with very warm water or every day
The scalp is just your skin and it is always shedding. Change of seasons (more heating indoors) and climate change in humidity may also affect it.
I have a client with psorriasis on her scalp and tinting her hair with coal tar derived products actually help her.
Keep your scalp moisturized.
Go ahead and massage oil treatments into it. Improving circulation is a good idea too

if u don't wash your hair shampoo properly,then the shampoo stays on your scalp and later drys down and forms flaky dandruff.i think u should wash your hair properly and check the foams r coming out of ur hair or not.when u see ur hair is fully clean,condition it and then wrap it with a towel and let it dry artificially u will never have dandruff.

but dandruff removal is very tough,i think u should apply lemon juice or egg yolk on ur hair.use dandruff base shampoo and shampoo after 2 alternate days.

It is a fungal infection. Appropriate anti-fungals should do the needful.
