i have black hair and have started getting dandruff and you can really tell!!! how do i get rid of this???

Question

i have tried using dandruff shampoos but they just seem to make it worse! help!

Answer 1

Use a shampoo that has zinc or tar as the active ingredient. I like Neutrogena T-Gel shampoo w/conditioner

Answer 2

Try over the counter shampoos first. Head and Shoulders; Selson Blue; T Gel, all of which can be found at walmart or any pharmacy store such as walgreens or cvs. If the dandruff continues, then I suggest making an appointment with a dermatologist.

Answer 3

I use to work as a Hairstylist, and the best solution for that problem, is a scalp treatment, basically what u do is have your stylist or a friend scratch your scalp with a fine comb by small sections to remove any flakes, them shampoo with a clarifying shampoo, use a conditioner if necessary. Most of the times the reason for that problem is product build up, not enough moisture, or some times oily scalp. Do this every week if u can or every other week.

Answer 4

I received a tip that a little bit of lemon juice with your shampoo will get rid of dandruff

Answer 5

I have very thick hair and sometimes get dandruff - Use the new head n shoulders intensive solutions - in the dark blue bottle. - i have been using for 3 months - and not a flake. none of the others worked for me

Answer 7

If shampoo are not working you might want to see a dermatologist for some medicated shampoos you might have a medical condition. Have you tried T-Gel ?(you can buy that from the store)

Answer 8

If you live on an Island, or any other area which as water body near it, you will have that problem. Shampoos won't work. Try using some oil (coconut or any other hair oil).

Answer 9

well.i usually do this.

after washing your hair with shampoo & conditioner,rinse it thouroughly.then take a mug of water & add 2 table spoons of vinegar into it.rinse your hair with this mixture at the end.DON'T rinse your hair again at the end.the vinegar will keep away dandruff for a couple of days.do this for long term treatment.

good luck! :)
