Question

i got my hair chemically straightened so i'm not sure what shampoos and stuff will work well
and i've tried head and shoulders and it doesn't work for me

Answer 1

i suggest to use some of homemade for dandruff.

Here are some steps;

1. Keep good hygiene of your scalp and keep the head accessories clean.

2. Never tie your hair when they are wet

3. Wash your head every alternate day with lukewarm water

4. Rub lemon peel on the scalp, leave it on the head for at least 15 min then rinse off with shampoo.

5. if you have terrible itching, mix lemon juice in lukewarm coconut oil and massage it on your scalp.

6. take two table spoonful of curd, whip it well. Add few drops of lemon juice and apply this paste on head. Keep it for 20 min and then shampoo your hair.

7. Henna powder / tea tree oil is also very good.

Shampoos are so temporary. It will only control ur dandruff but never cures.

Answer 2

The only thing that works for me is Nizoral. Use it 3 times a week. Use can use another shampoo if you shampoo more than 3 times a week. It should clear up, but you will always have to use Nizoral because there is no cure for dandruff, you have to manage it. I used to get it by prescription but it's over the counter now. Good luck. 2D

Answer 3

Try Head And Shoulders Shampoo!
Dont Worry, We All get Dandruff, just Shampoo nd condition your hair twice daily and youll be kk

Answer 4

Dandruff is a condition in which flakes and chunks of dead skin are shed from a persons scalp. Contrary to popular belief, it is not always caused by a dry scalp, many people with oily scalps are also afflicted.

Here I will list the active ingredients used in the most common anti-dandruff shampoos and explain what they do. Make sure you read the labels when shopping for a particular ingredient since the same brand often produces similar products with different ingredients. Always follow the instructions on the labels.

Zinc pyrithione
(Head & Shoulders classic, Pert Plus dandruff control)
Zinc pyrithione, or Zinc omadine is an anti-fungal and antibacterial agent that is most commonly used to fight the dandruff caused by yeasts and fungi. Once you begin using this treatment, stopping will often cause dandruff to return worse than before treatment began.

Ketoconazole
(Nizoral AntiDandruff shampoo)
Ketoconazole is an anti-fungal drug used to treat dandruff caused by yeasts and fungi. Dandruff usually returns after treatment is stopped.

Selenium sulfide
(Selsun blue, Head & Shoulders Intensive)
Selenium sulfide is an anti-fungal agent used to treat dandruff caused by yeasts and fungi. In the US, 1% solutions can be purchased over-the-counter and 2.5% solutions are available by prescription. Dandruff often returns when treatment is stopped.

Coal tar
(Ionil-T, Neutrogena T/Gel Therapeutic)
Coal tar is a liquid by-product of the distillation of coal. It is used in shampoos meant to treat head lice and psoriasis. Be warned, coal tar is on the NIOSH carcinogen list as a potential cancer-causing agent.

Salicylic acid
(Ionil)
Salicylic acid based shampoos are used to help the scalp shed excess skin more easily, which in turn helps to keep skin pores from getting clogged.

Home remedies
There are tons of home brew dandruff cures out there, every family likely knows of a different one that they will swear by to cure dandruff. Here I’ll list some of the most commonly recommended concoctions.

Tea tree oil
Tea tree oil has an anti-fungal quality and can be mixed into lotions, oils and shampoos. Massage the mixture into the scalp and let it sit for 15 minutes prior to rinsing clean

Coneflower and red clover extracts
Aveda has a product named “Scalp Remedy” that is growing in popularity. It contains both coneflower and red clover extracts, comes with a dropper and is applied directly to the scalp after you shower.

Oil soaks
Scalp massages with moisturizing oils an hour or so before bathing are said to rejuvenate a dry scalp. Skin lotions will likely work as well.

Vinegar rinses
Some people have reported success after rinsing their hair with white or apple cider vinegar prior to bathing. It may have something to do with correcting your hair’s PH balance.

Lemon Juice
Apply lemon juice 2 to 3 and wash it off after half and hour with cold water.

Warm oil
If you have drnadruff, heat some oil (coconut, olive or any other hair oil) and make sure that it is just warm enough to apply on hair. Apply it well so that you feel that warmth on ur scalp and leave it for sometime, i would recommend overnight and wash it off with normal water.
NOTE: Always make sure that your comb is clean, the danrdruff remains on your comb and you use the comb after your antidandruff treatment without washing the comb ..so the dandruff would come back. So make sure that you are cleaning your comb also when you are doing the anti dandruff treatment.

However if the dandruff pertains for long, make sure you see a doctor as the dandruff may spread to skin.
