how do you get rid of dandruff in thick hair?

Question

home remedies and store bought shampoo please

Answer 1

I have the same problem. Try switching diffrent brands of shampoo every one or two weeks. Fungi that cause dandruffs get immune to the medication/drug added in the anti-dandruff shampoos after repeated exposure. I use Head& Shoulders. It works for me but after a long time of use, dandruff keeps coming back so I switch shampoo every other 2 weeks then go back to Head&Shoulder's again. Don't stick to one only brand.

Answer 2

There are lots of ways to overcome the annoying problem dandruff creates. I personally have long, thick hair that is almost black in color, so dandruff really shows up and everyone can see it if I don't take care of it. Here are some of the products I use:

Head and Shoulders shampoo: This stuff works! You have to be consistent, though. Washing your hair once with this stuff will not quickly clear up dandruff, but using the shampoo regularly will clear up the dandruff completely. If Head and Shoulders tangles your hair, also use Pantene Pro V conditioner to get out all the tangles.

Tea Tree Oil also works. You can take a few drops of it in your hands and rub it all over your head. Then, wash it out with regular shampoo (preferrably the Head and Shoulders shampoo) to clean and clense the scalp, leaving it feeling tingly and shiny. The tea tree oil can drastically clear up dandruff. You can find Tea Tree oil at Health Food stores.


Good luck!!

Answer 3

Denorex dandruff shampoo. T-Gel shampoo

Answer 4

I use Nizoral shampoo. You will need to wash your hair at least 2-3 times a week. You can also rub olive oil on your scalp to deal with the dryness.

Answer 5

Neutrogena Tar Shampoo is great. Just put a little all over your scalp and leave on for 30 min the first time you use it. Then wash it out and shampoo with the tar shampoo as you normally would. It stinks, but it really works.

Answer 6

There are many types of shampoos that you can use. Head and shoulders was recommended to my brother. It worked like a charm, and it works just as well with thich hair! GoodLuck! There are many other shampoo products, but I have found that they are usually over priced, and that they are not necessary.
