Hello, my name is Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi. I understand your concern.
Dandruff may be the result of a dry scalp, or a skin condition called seborrheic dermatitis.
Drugstore remedies might include shampoos with --zinc pyrithione, which targets fungus and bacteria; -ketoconazole, which also fights fungus;
-coal tar and selenium sulfide, which slow the growth and die-off of skin cells on your scalp;
-salicylic acid, which loosens flakes so they can be washed away.
Some advices that I can give to you for dandruff are:
-Coconut oil and lemon massage.
-Fenugreek Pack as a Dandruff Remedy.
-Baking Soda is a great home remedy for dandruff.
Wet your hair and rub a handful of baking soda onto your scalp.After a couple of minutes, rinse your hair well with warm water.
-Apply Tea Tree Oil.
-Apple Cider Vinegar can be used too, to remedy dandruff at home.You should apply it diluted with water.
Hope my answer was helpful, if you have any other questions I'll be glad to help, thanks!
