Dandruff Treatments :
* If you have only a mild case of dandruff, shampooing your hair with a regular shampoo daily or twice a day will usually do the trick.
* Start out by trying a mild shampoo, stronger shampoos can irritate and dry out your hair making dandruff flaking worst.
* If your standard shampoo doesn't get rid of your dandruff, buy an anti dandruff shampoo and your dandruff condition should improve signifigantly in a couple of weeks.
* Once you have found an anti dandruff shampoo that works for you, keep on using it or your dandruff will most likely reoccur.
* Lather and rinse twice when using anti dandruff shampoos, the first time cycle will clean your scalp, the second cycle will medicate it.
* If you think you may have a severe case of dandruff, it is advised that you set up an appointment with a dermatologist.
* Poor health may be the cause of your dandruff, so be sure to get enough sleep, eat nutritiously, and avoid stress inducing activities.
* If you have to scratch your head, avoid using your fingernails to scratch (you'll risk an infection if you do) instead use the pads of your fingers.
* Wear a hat outside on days that are extremely cold, windy, and when you're going to be out in the sun for a lengthy period.
* Limit the use of hair coloring and hair styling products with alcohol which dries out hair.
* Make sure that you get an adequate ammount of B6 in your diet, which will help prevent dandruff.
* Massage your scalp with the pads of your fingers in a circular motion to increase circulation.
