You most likely have dry scalp and NOT dandruff. Dandruff is actually oily, scaly and smells like sour milk (Yeh, I know....YUCK) Allot of people get dry scalp flakiness during the winter months. I tell all my clients that have dryness to make sure they are not going to bed with wet or damp hair if they are showering at night (that can be the #1 culprit believe it or not) and to use a shampoo with pyrethione zinc as the active ingredient. Head and shoulders is a good one as well as several others. The tar based shampoos don't usually help with dry scalp and they are really harsh on the hair especially if its color treated. Scrub your scalp vigorously when you shampoo and use a good moisturizing conditioner. If you have thick patches of dryness and flakiness, you may have eczema or psoriasis which would need to be checked by your dermatologist.
Good luck and at least winter is almost over... :)

First you need to make sure that you don't have Psoriasis. If you don't, then I recommend trying out Paul Mitchell's Tea Tree Shampoo and Conditioner. While there are a lot of shampoo out there, a lot of the times they dry out the hair and just treat the scalp. Make sure that when you are washing your hair, that you massage the scalp well. I would say scrub but don't use your fingernails. That will only worsen the condition. It gets worse during the winter due to the fact that it is a drier season. The best thing to do, if you don't want to go to the doctor is trial and error. Good luck.

As has been mentioned, TGEL is pretty good if the problem is bacteria causing dandruff. It's also possible that you have other conditions causing the dandruff. You might have problems with just generic dry skin, in which case a scalp conditioner like Lush's Recon would solve your problem. You could also have a skin condition like Psoriasis. The best solution is to talk to your family doctor about the condition, and let him decide what you need.

I am kind of in the same boat, but my itch creates my dandruff. I use Head & Shoulders opague blue bottle all the way. It says in the front selenium sulfide dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis- intensive treatment shampoo if it fails use Neutrogena T-Gel it really wiped out my freinds huge flakes in one application. The only complaint was that it was a little pricey, but well worth it.

any dandruff shampoo will work. The trick is you need to scrub them in and then leave it on for at least 5 minutes before rinsing. you need to use them every time you wash your hair, and it will take at least 3 weeks to work. If it is not working after 4 weeks it is probably not just dandruff. See a doctor and you will need a special oil or foam to use. There is one called derma smoothe that works great. you have to leave it in your hair overnight and wear a shower cap, but it works.

massage listerine on your scalp while you are still in the shower - if you are really desperate, rub vaseline all over your head and leave it on for about half an hour to moisturize your scalp - then shampoo and towel dry. Do not use a hairdryer.

Neutrogena has a therapeutic shampoo out called T/GEL, it is an intensive anti-flake treatment and it really works well. It smells awful, but it works!

I'd like to suggest Prell Shampoo. It's mild on the hair, leaves it soft and shiny.
