There doesn't seem to be a cure for dandruff. Whatever you use the dandruff will come back again if you stop using it.

I developed dandruff at 18 for no apparent reason and suffered from a terrible itchy scalp particularly during the night (presumably aggravated by the warmth), plus an embarrassing shedding of white scales. I believe this probably accelerated the process of hair loss, although it probably did not cause it.

I found Head and Shoulders/Vosene/Selsun etc utterly useless with the best shampoos being the mildest.

Recently I found that Schartzkopf Bonacure dandruff lotion (which you leave on and don't wash out) be excellent, I also used Nizoral but experienced awful unexpected effects see:- (promotional link removed) but I am sure they don't happen to everyone and otherwise it was pretty good at keeping dandruff at bay. Use it with caution though!

The other tips I found was that canesten cream 2% was great at treating particularly nasty patches on my scalp, I am sure if someone made a shampoo it would also be effective, but you just can't get enough cream on your scalp to really find out if it can control your dandruff.

Another interesting observation was my dentist once prescribed me metronidazole tablets for a dental infection and this seemed to really help my dandruff as well.

Whatever I used I found that nothing actually cured the problem, but did it was possible to avoid the constant itch and flaky scalp.

Curd is good, but i try Green Herbal Dye for making feel my hair cool, dandruff free, silky with a good shiny color.

Try to clean your hair everyday to improve circulation and remove any dandruff flakes.There are different methods to get rid of dandruff. one way is Massage the coconut oil into the scalp with fingertips or a brush, then rinse the scalp with hot water for 10 minutes.

A lot of shampoos for dandruff contain coconut oil and also salicylic acid, but these are treating the symptoms by cleaning off the flakes rather than treating the cause, which as someone has said earlier is a nasty little yeast infection that is difficult to get rid of. I've suffered from dandruff since I was 18 and it was really bad! Recently I started using ProFusion shampoo for hair loss and found that that actually did my dandruff the world of good and I didn't need to use anything else. Has anyone else any experience of using this?

In the past I'd tried Nizoral but got some nasty sides, so I'd approach that one with caution.

I completely agree that curd is very popular and effective home remedy for dandruff. Keep a small quantity of curd for fermentation for 2-3 days. Apply this curd to the scalp and hair. Dry it for 1 hour and wash it off. It not only removes dandruff, but also makes your hair shiny.

Dandruff is an awful condition although no-one ever died of it, it caused by fungus-like bug.

I used all sorts of products with no success whatever but I found two which are excellent. The first is ProFusion shampoo for dry hair, which I was using to slow my hair loss so the anti dandruff action was a real bonus and the other one was Bonacure Dandruff lotion recommended by somebody on this site, which is made by Schwartzkopf. You put this lotion on after you have washed your hair and leave it (i.e. don't rinse it out) and that really worked well. But I'm now using ProFusion every day, so I no longer need the Bonacure.

A way to fix this is high levels of omega 3 fatty acids. Preferably krill oil from a good source like 'Now" Brands. Also,Iodine everyday if you are deficient (which you probably are).

Finally..This is pretty cheap. Get a non SLS shampoo. Preferably one with good healthy ingredients and not a bunch of chemicals.
Add some crushed lithium orotate and a small spoon of DMSO liquid to the bottle . It works just like nizoral just cheaper and more effective and will help the dandruff issue

pantene has an anti dandruff shampoo. What you need to do is leave it in for 2 mintues then brush your hair with a brush, one with a lot of bristles on it that are close together, then condition really well and do the same thing. Keep your hair really clean if that means washing your hair twice a day

MSM is really good.

Nizoral and T-Gel works for dandruff. You can also use virgin coconut oil or lemon but make sure you rinse them off well.
