TIPS ON FIGHTING DANDRUFF:
SHAMPOO FREQUENTLY
For many people, just washing your hair more often with regular shampoo can decrease flakes. And be sure to rinse well.
USE MEDICATED SHAMPOOS
There are several popular and very effective dandruff fighting shampoos on the market such as X-Seb -T , Selsun Blue, Head & Shoulders, Neutrogena T-Gel and Nizoral A-D. Now each of these shampoos contain a different active ingredient. For instance T-Gel contains Tar. Many people find relief from Tar based products but others don't. So if after using one brand of shampoo you find that the flakes aren't going away, try another brand.
USE HAIR PRODUCTS SPARINGLY
An overuse of products such as mousses, gels and hairsprays can lead to the accumulation of oils on the hair and scalp.
EXPOSE HAIR TO SUN
We are only talking about moderate exposure here, because as we all know, too much sun can lead to skin cancer. But what happens is that exposure to the sunlight may produce an anti-inflammatory effect, making your scalp less sensitive.
Use a clean comb and dont let anyone use it.
WHEN TO CONSULT A DOCTOR
If all of the above methods have failed, you'll want to contact your physician. He or she can prescribe shampoos that contain higher doses of dandruff fighting ingredients as well as topical solutions that contain cortisone.
Look at shampoos with labels on them stating that their shampoo gets rid of dandruff. "Head and Shoulders" is a good example.
However, these type of shampoos are normally very strong and if used continuously, will result in dry hair.
The best is to use this strong shampoo two or three types per week, alternating with a normal shampoo and always using conditioner.
That said, even for dandruff-free hair, different brands of shampoos suit different types of hair. Even hair, classified under dry or oily, boils right down to the individual hair type. Thus, like make-up, you must experiment until you find two shampoos that is your very own ideal combination.
Remember: alternate and use conditioner!
