Hair gels and other hair products can irritate the scalp in some people. For a while, try doing without whatever you have been using, or change to a different product.


Do not scratch your scalp. When you shampoo, massage your scalp without scratching. Scientists have looked at hair from dandruff sufferers who scratch, using an electron microscope that magnifies 400 times. They could see fingernail marks, damaging the hair at its root.


If your dandruff is mild, try shampooing your hair twice a week using any shampoo labelled 鈥榝requent use, for dry hair鈥?(not an ordinary 鈥榓ntidandruff鈥?shampoo). This will remove the flakes that are being shed, and the moisturizer in the shampoo will protect the scalp.


Avoid dyeing your hair (unless you absolutely must). We all have bacteria on our scalp, some of which are beneficial. These 鈥榞ood鈥?bacteria prevent dandruff yeast, and hair dyes reduce their numbers.


If you want to try a natural remedy, boil four heaped tablespoons of dried thyme in half a litre of water (just under a pint) for 10 minutes. Let it cool and strain it through a sieve into a jar. Massage some of the liquid onto your scalp three times a week. Do not rinse it out.


Look for a shampoo containing tea tree oil. Research from Australia (published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology in 2002) showed that a 5% tea tree oil shampoo improved dandruff by 41%, which means that, although it did not get rid of the dandruff completely, there was a noticeable improvement.


For more severe dandruff, you need to deal with the yeast. This means looking carefully at the small print on the antidandruff shampoo in your local pharmacy. You could start by trying a shampoo containing selenium sulfide, which has an anti-yeast effect. Wet your hair, rub the shampoo onto your scalp and rinse off. Repeat, leaving the shampoo for 3鈥? minutes before rinsing off. Do not use selenium sulfide within 48 hours of applying a hair colorant or a perm lotion. Some shampoos contain zinc pyrithione, another anti-yeast chemical.


The most effective treatment is an anti-yeast shampoo containing ketoconazole which, in some countries, you can buy from a chemist without a doctor鈥檚 prescription. Wet your hair, rub the shampoo onto your scalp and rinse off. Repeat, leaving the shampoo for 3鈥? minutes before rinsing off. Use it twice a week for 2鈥? weeks to clear the dandruff, and then once every 2 weeks, using a normal shampoo in between times.


Antidandruff conditioners are also available.How to get rid of dandruff,tried lots of anti-dandruff shampoos..!!?
Selsun Blue and Head and Shoulders are really good shampoos cause I've used it myself and it worked really well. Make sure while shampooing(i don't even know if dats a word lolz) you really scratch deep through your hair and when you first apply the shampoo leave it in for about 3-5 minutes.





Oh and a piece of advice, don't go around using just anyone's comb, it could be harmful to your scalp if they have any hair issues. Hope I Helped!! :D
