@hannafoster   I would definitely use a scalp scrub and then a anti build up shampoo.  I would also Google "dandruff" to see what home remedies are suggested.  If that does not work, you need to see Dermatologist. Good luck.  I had a problem with dry scalp but I cut down my shampooing to twice a week and I use a scalp scrub every 2 weeks.

May I add that I read that you should wash your hair everyday.  Apparently, it is the oils from the scalp causing your dandruff.  Also, I read that Aveda has an excellent product for dandruff -- check it out and read the reviews.

In addition to the suggestions that have already been made, make sure that you are drinking plenty of water.

I had the problem for over a year, but I went to a good dermatologist.  She recommended to use several OTC medicated shampoos on a rotating basis (each day use a different one and leave on for two or three minutes before rinsing)--one blue shampoo like Zincon (or Selsun Blue),one tar shampoo with at least 5% tar like Psoria (from Amazon), T-Sal from Neutrogena because it contains 3% Salicylic Acid, and Nyzoral because some dandruff may have a fungal component.  But . . . .that was me and not you, so see a dermatologist to get what is correct for you.

I also had a Dermatologist tell me many years ago that dandruff can be caused by a fungus, as well.

I was using the prescription-strength Nizoral shampoo. You can now get an over-the-counter version, which is what I use.

It was also recommended to me that I also do the same as you--try the different over-the-counter dandruff shampoos.

I can't tolerate anything with menthol in it on my scalp. I believe that some have menthol in them, as an ingredient.

However, I didn't mind the Neutrogena T-Gel shampoo.

Thank you for the response @momoftwo2007 

Actually I used Head and Shoulders Shampoo. But that shampoo didn't suit to my hair and I got itching due to that shampoo.

I thought, my body could be allergic of this shampoo so I immediately stopped using the shampoo.

BTW thank you so much for your recommendation.

Thank you @alicedee for responding.

I think this could be a better option. Since past 2 years I have visited 4 doctors and all of them have suggested home made remedies. They simply say that this dandruff problem is not that which can be controlled by using any chemicals to your hair. These chemicals can reduce dandruff problem but cannot eliminate the problme permanently.

Thank you @SilleeMee for your wonderful suggestion.

I would definitely try using these items.

Actually I visited a dermatologist and he said the same that using shampoos can solve the problem temporarily but cannot eliminate it. Also, those hard chemical shampoos can generate some other permament issues as well which whould be worse than this dandruff problem.

HI @hannafoster 

Dandruff problem is a big issue mainly in the winter season. I have been asked by a number of my customers regarding their dandruff problem.

This is due to the dry scalps of your hair.

So how to solve this problem?

Home remedies are the best solution for this problem. Home made products like using curd with oil or using onion water for your hair.
