Brief Answer:
Dryness or fungal infection can be the reason.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM.

I have gone through your query. Your problem of dandruff can be due to dryness or fungal infection. Salty water also can cause dryness.

Using Ketoconazole based shampoo on alternate days will be helpful for this. You can also apply coconut oil or castor oil in moderation before bathing. Liquid paraffin oil is another option.

Taking eggs is not a reason for dandruff. If you are working out daily properly then taking 2 eggs will be fine. Otherwise you may reduce it to 1 egg daily.

Taking hair growth supplements like Follihair or Keraglo forte is also good to aid hair growth.

Do you have scaling or redness of scalp. ?
Do you have excess pimples. ?
Do you have hair fall on frontal or crown areas. ?

Let me know if anything not clear.
I am happy to help you.
Thanks.

No readness, no pimples, and hairfall is all over not a particular area , and no I have not treated it with anything, Can I use VICHY DERCOS shampoo as I have heard positive feedbacks about the same.

And I have also read about improving the zinc intake would that be helpful.
Please guide me about the diet that can reduce the dandruff naturally.

As I dont want to take any medics apart from shampoo on my hair.
Thank you

Brief Answer:
Vichy dercos you can use for nourishing hair.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome again.

Thank you for your follow up.

Vichy dercos you can use to nourish hair. In that case you can use Ketoconazole shampoo like nizoral weekly twice. If dandruff is more you should use ketoconazole shampoo on alternate days.

Zinc is essential for hair also. Majority of Hair grow supplements have it. Naturally you can get it from oysters, kidney beans, flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, almonds etc.

Take more plain water to get enough hydration. Eating fatty fish like mackeral or sardines is good to get enough omega 3 and vitamin D3. Take citrus fruits and greens also. Include sweet potatoes and carrot for vitamin A (beta carotene). Taking Asparagus , figs and dates are also good. These will provide you essential nutrients for hair.

Let me know if anything not clear;
I am happy to help you.
Thanks.
