if you feel that its not that serious then most anti-dandruff shampoos will do the trick, but if it doesn't help, try consulting your doctor for the right medication that is usually precribed to combat that itchy dandruff. also, I used to have a serious dandruff problem, but as i found out for myself, just finding for the right hair care that is natural to your hair and sticking with it can cure that dandruff problem.

Before you wash your hair, cut a lemon in half and rub it on your scalp.\n\nthe astringent action would remove the dandruff that is attached to the scalp and regular usage for 2-3 weeks would have spectacular effect.

Hi Zeenia\n\nHere are some remedies.\n\nCause\nIt is frequently due to digestive disturbances, and is highly related to the general health of the entire body.\n\nThe most common cause of dandruff is seborrheic dermatitis, a mild scalp inflammation with excessive fatty secretions that usually starts as dry or greasy scaling of the skin, but may progress to yellow-red scaling bumps along the hairline, behind the ears, in the ear canals, on the eyebrows, on the bridge of the nose, in the folds around the nose, or on the breastbone. Don`t pick or your scratch scalp, as this will only exacerbate your condition.\n\nWhen infants get dandruff, it is called cradle cap, which is a yeast problem. Many skin experts in Europe consider dandruff in adults to also be a yeast problem. In other words, dandruff is often an external symptom of an internal problem. Therefore, dandruff treatments can be similar to those for treating candidiasis.\n----------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nNatural Cures for Dandruff\n\nAromatherapy: Patchouli, rosemary, and/or tea tree oil can be massaged into the scalp.\n\nDiet: Increase raw foods as part of an overall organic, whole foods diet. Also eat more salads and green vegetables, avoid fried foods, and significantly reduce your intake of fats, sugar, dairy products, chocolate, seafood, and nuts.\n\nFlower Essences: Crab Apple can help with feelings of poor self-image due to dandruff.\n\nHerbs: Rinse your hair and scalp with a strong infusion of nettle, sage, and rosemary, and drink a cup of nettle tea and take evening primrose oil (three capsules) daily.\n\nHomeopathy: Arsen alb., Graphites, Lycopodium, Thuja, Sepia, Sulfur, and Cantharis are useful homeopathic remedies for dandruff.\n\nNutritional Supplementation:\nThe following nutrients are all useful for helping to prevent and reverse dandruff: vitamin B6, vitamin A, vitamin B complex, essential fatty acids (particularly omega-6), vitamin C, vitamin E, beta carotene, and zinc. Kelp tablets can also help.\n\nTopical Treatment: Soak your hair in a warm apple cider vinegar solution, the wrap your head in a towel. After one hour, wash your hair. In addition, you can apply vitamin E oil to your scalp each night for three weeks. Tea tree oil shampoo is also recommended.\n\nBest of health to you\n\nCheers

yes bald people can get dandruff.All dandruff is is a dry scalp which has nothing to do with having hair.

Dear DMMR, \n\nAbove all, you will want to do everything you can to keep good blood circulation going in your scalp.\n\nHair growth depends on good blood circulation.\nEven if you have a family tendency toward baldness, maintaining your health and circulation will slow down the process of hair loss.\n\nLots of lifestyle things cause poor circulation.\nGetting little or no exercise is the main one.\nAnother is smoking.  Say goodbye to good circulation when you smoke.\nAnother is eating too much sugar.  This causes imbalances that severely strain the body's strength to cope.\nGetting little or no sun on one's skin is actually a problem, too.  Not too much sun, just enough.\n\nIt will also help to massage your scalp a couple of times a day.  This part is easy because it feels good.\n\nHope this helps.

Don't laugh. Listerine was invented to get rid of dandruff. It does a FABULOUS job. Just rinse with listerine. It burns, but works. If you don't want to do that you can purchase an anti-fungal shampoo called Nizoral at most Wal-Marts.

Dandruff is nasty and resistant,but is curable. There are many brands of shampoos,lotions etc which guarantee you 100% removal of the dandruff. Unfortunately,mast of them are just advertisement. I would propose you to try the new formula of Head and Shoulders with Actizink formula and ocean minerals.It's not expensive and works. I used alsoNizoral,which contains ketoconazole and fights activelly dandruff.if you find that ani-dandruff medical shampoo,you can try it.There are also natural solutions,like applying a masks with Olive oil,humma etc. Dandruff iften occurs when there is a Vitamin deficity ,so take regularly your Vitamins..and let me know if that now work,I'll propose you other..Good luck!!

There are some really good shampoos that can control that.  Try T-Gel or T-Sal from (Nurtagina) sorry about the spelling.  By the way, don't scratch with any thing.  That can damage your scalp, causing more problems.

Well I assume you are white so have you ever considered that you have lice (do you live with animals in the house??). If not then start by thoroughly washing your hair with medicated shampoo. Then use a light oil or grease in your hair. Sulfur 8 works for me and my kids when their heads start to itch. A little oil/grease wont hurt anybody, no matter what hair type!!

I can do this.  You have to relax and then tense your scalp muscles.  It takes some concentration.  When you do this, it appears as though your ears are wiggling.

Use a shampoo like T.Gel or Head and Shoulders regularly.

Try using a product with Tea Tree Oil, like Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Shampoo and Conditioner. I know it sounds counter-intuitive to add oil to your scalp, but Tea Tree Oil acts as both a humectant and an astringent, meaning it cleanses and moisturizes at the same time. So you get rid of the dandruff by exfoliating and removing dead skin cells, and you keep the new layers protected and moisturized, thus reducing itchiness. :D Works for me everytime! Good luck!
