How can one cure dandruff?

Anytime i go to the salon to cut my hair, white stuffs is seen flying everywhere, like powder being blown by breeze!
Inside the following week after the barbing, after a while when through with my bath, my head will be shinning all white with dry white flakes falling from my head. Maybe when my hair is now fully grown back, nobody notices the white stuff again. After sometime when i visit the salon again for an hair-cut, the problem continues again!

NOTE: i have tried many solutions but no one has been effective! How do i get it off my hair/head?

Bro, after you barb gorimapa, use blade to scrape off the dry scales to the point you may even feel you are close to bleeding, then apply close up toothpaste in your head.
No matter what burning Bain you feel, try leave it there for 10mins.
Then please come back and brief me

Dear love800

Dandruff is not an infection. It's a reaction. For instance, some people are allergic to bee sting. While others are not. You can not get dandruff from someone, and you can not give it to anyone.

There is a fungi that lives on everyone's hair. This fungi feeds on the outermost skin on the hair scalp. For many, this is not an issue. But for some people such as you and I, our body sees this action as an attack, and therefore shed the entire outermost skin of the scalp. That's what's called dandruff: the scalp skin shedding.

Dandruff can only be managed through lifestyle changes. It can not be cured.

Lifestyle changes you can make include to reduce the effects of dandruff, and the embarrassment that comes with it includes:

1. Use very mild soap or shampoos to wash your hair. Don't ever use strong or medicated soaps.

2. Wash your hair less regularly. You might be tempted or frustrated into washing your hair everyday. I was too. But that will only serve to worsen the situation. Twice a week is good enough. I wash Sundays and Thursdays.

3. Make sure your hair is never dry. Use hair creams to keep your scalp from drying out once you're out of the shower. Any oil based hair cream will do, but there are few made specifically for people troubled with dandruff. Damatol is one.

4. Bath twice a day, and brush your hair each time. I currently use weavon brush, because regular comb does not scrap the scalp like I want.

5. Have a routine haircut. Mine is every two weeks. Letting your hair grow too much will cause the shed skin(dandruff) to remain and accumulate on your head. Keep it short so that the hair brush can touch your scalp and remove those shed skin.

6. Stay hydrated. Drink lots of water in order to prevent dry skin and dry scalp, which triggers shedding of skin by your body.

7. Take supplements. Find a good vitamin supplement and take regularly in order to improve the body nutrients, and strengthen the skin in such a way that skin shedding will reduce.

Like I said, managing dandruff requires lifestyle changes. It can not be treated, as much as you can not treat allergies. It's just the way out body is, and we have to take it like that.

You don't need to throw away nothing. Dandruff is just dry scalp. It's not an infection. Buy head and shoulders shampoo and conditioner and use hair oil a few times a week. It's normal.

Op! Please be careful of the crazy solutions people are giving you. This person knows what they are talking about and you should follow this advice. Be careful before you cause yourself damage because people are giving mad solutions for something so natural and normal as dandruff! Shish!

If all the instructions you are being given fails, just use only warm water to wash your hair. Don't use cream, oils anything on your hair. This will regulate your hair oil control. Your hair might go through different stages while on this protocol, from very dry to very oily. Reassess after a few weeks/months. You can use a little bit of baking soda from time to time on your scalp if you feel it is too oily.

Shave of your hair, wash it with heads and shoulders or any shampoo, then apply black seed oil.
Just once you do this and it will be over.
But continue to apply black seed oil.

Wash your hair very well with water when bathing, that's the cure for dandruff. If you carry hair we'll, and water doesn't get to your scalp to wash it well, dandruff will develop

Follow this instruction.
U can wash with hot water.
Make sure you always wash your hair well when bathing.
Keep the hair low cut.

Please go to the hospital and see a doctor. It might be "seborrheic dermatitis". It will require treatment because shampoo's won't work.

Thanks for this!πŸ™Œ
Just what I was about to type.

An ordinary shampoo won't work. Try this one here and come back to testify.

Make sure that the ketoconazole content is 2%

You sabi! Nizoral is expensive but it would most likely get the job done.

I used to experience the same problem.

1. you need to identify and differentiate dry scalp and dandruff
2. Mixed any Anti Fungi Cream e,g Funbat-A with your Hair Crean and apply daily
3. Ensure you cream you Hair Daily and let the cream gets to your scalp to keep it soft

Trust me it will work, this was how i was able to control mine

Dandruff is just dryness of the scalp. So, to avoid dryness the scalp should be moisturised. Even vaseline ( petroleum jelly) applied daily to the scalp can ward off dandruff - apply thoroughly on the scalp, not just the hair ( trim if too bushy).

that's because you're not using hair cream. Only dirty people or mad people don't use hair creams. 😏

dawnomike:
Next time you cut your hair... Do the following after the haircut:

1) Dispose your clipper and buy a new one
2) Sterilize your hairbrush/comb that you use on your hair
3) Use hair oil on your hair instead of hair cream
4) sterilize your towel
5) Always go to the Babershop with your own hairbrush and comb.
