I'm having some trouble with my dandruff. If flakes up on my scalp really bad. I've tried head and shoulders but it doesn't seem to do anything but make my scalp sore. It's really wierd cause I only get this dandruff problem from time to time. I don't constantly battle dandruff problems.

Since the problem is intermittent, you might just have build up from conditioners & styling products. Try a clarifying shampoo & use it at least once a week. Neutrogena Anti-Residue Shampoo is the best one.
You can also try a shampoo w/ tea tree oil. My husband really likes Paul Mitchell's tea tree oil shampoo.
It may also just be a case of dry scalp. You can rub in just a tiny drop of jojoba oil on your scalp in the evening & wash it out in the morning. Jojoba oil is a great moisturizer. It's also non-comedogenic & washes out easily.
If you still think it is dandruff, I recommend:
Neutrogena Healthy Scalp Shampoo (salicylic acid is the active ingredient; it promotes cell turnover) or Neutrogena T-Gel Shampoo - which relies on tar to fight dandruff
Head & Shoulders Intensive Formula - let lather sit on scalp for 3 to 5 minutes before rinsing off.

Actually baby shampoo is the best for dandruff. Loosen all the flakes from your scalp and then shampoo leave it on your scalp for about 1 min. I have the same problem due to thick hair and very dry skin and I have not had any dandruff for months. Use it every time you shampoo for the first week and then twice a week after that. Give it a try it really works!

I've tried a few, and the best I've found was Head and Shoulders. You may want to talk to your doctor about a perscription shampoo, especially if it's causy an itchy/irritated scalp. The over the counter shampoos are only meant for light cases.

Denorex Medicated is a really good dandruff shampoo. It's expensive compared to most normal shampoos, costing around 9 bucks, but it's definitely the best I've used.

Pert helps. Just wash once with Pert, then wash with your regualr shampoo/conditioner. It should help. Make sure not to scratch your scalp.
