Treatment For Recurrent Dandruff?

I have dandruff problem from last 5-6 years. I tried many medicines, but still it is not getting cured. Currently I am using anti-dandruff medicare shampoo every alternate day. If I don t use 2-3 days then again dandruff is coming. Please suggest some medicines or what I need to follow. Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
Yogurt and Black pepper as a anti dandruff treatment
Yogurt reduces the intensity of scaling. Mix 2 teaspoon of black pepper powder in a cup of curd and blend it thoroughly. Then rub this mixture into dandruff affected scalp and after an hour, wash it with a mild shampoo.
Olive Oil Treatment for Dandruff
You can get rid of dandruff with the consistence use of olive oil. Olive oil is natural clarifying and moisturizing agent. It is one of the most admired home remedies for dandruff. A lukewarm oil treatment of olive oil can help you to treat your dandruff. Don't make the olive oil too hot. Apply the olive oil to the problem scalp in circular motions before going to bed. Wash out your hair with a mild shampoo in the morning.
Lemon juice and Coconut oil
If dandruff is still persistent, you may want to look into nutritional therapy as well. A deficiency in certain nutrients (B vitamins, zinc, Omega-3 & 6, etc...) may cause dandruff or dandruff-like symptoms.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
