Brief Answer:
Need to use an antiandruff shampoo, thrice in a week
Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us
I have gone thoriugh your query and I have understood your concern.
Dandruff/ Seborrheic dermatitis can recur.
Rather than using a regular shampoo you need to use an antidandruff shampoo, at least twice or thrice in a week, to prevent a recurrence.
I suggest you to try Nizral 2% shampoo, every alternate days. It contains ketoconazole 2% in a lotion base and is an effective antidandruff preparation.
Lather it well onto wet scalp and allow it to act for 5-7 minutes before rinsing it off with water.
Dandruff is an common cause of increased hair shedding, therefore controlling dandruff effectively would decrease hair shedding as well.
Regards
