As weird as it sounds, a friend of mine uses horse shampoo from the pet section at Wal-Mart although I'm not sure of the name/brand. Her doctor suggested it and she said it works.

Cut out or greatly reduce your sugar intake. Read the food labels carefully. There are many different types of sugar and sweetening agents to look for: sucrose, fructose, glucose, lactose, maltose, corn syrup, molasses, sorghum and maple syrup.
• Reduce or, hopefully, eliminate all foods containing yeast. Examples are: bread and baked goods, cheese, soy sauce, fermented condiments, wines and alcoholic beverages. Even with a yeast-free diet it may take a month or so to relieve the dandruff.
Apple cider vinegar will help restore the proper acid/alkaline balance of the scalp and kill a bacteria that clogs the pores that release oil to the scalp. The clogged pores result in scales and crusts being formed. Apply apple cider vinegar diluted 50% with water to the scalp and let dry. There is no need to rinse. Another similar remedy suggests pouring two tablespoons into a cup, applying the straight vinegar to the scalp, and leaving it on from 15 minutes to three hours before shampooing. Lemon juice may also be used. It is the acid in these remedies that helps bring the scalp back into chemical balance.
For mild cases of dandruff, use the mouthwash Listerine. It has antiseptic properties. Do not use on cases where the skin is broken as the Listerine can be irritating.

Tea tree oil is great for this
also the apple cider vinegar suggestions is good for your scalp also......but tea tree oil is very good
Google natural treatments for dandruff and you will see that these 2 suggestions are at the top of the lists.
Both have many great benefits not just for dandruff.
I use tea tree oil shampoo once a week to clean my scalp.
Also both items are used for a natural deterent for head lice...if you have kids it's good to use either of them for protection.

I use Head and Shoulders every day! Use Neutragena T-gel shampoo once in a while when it gets bad. It's strong stuff.
