Use a different shampoo.  Some shampoos can dry your head causing flakes.  You will need to try different shampoos until  you find one that doesn't do it.  I will say, however, the cheaper the shampoo (especially store bought varieties), the more likely it will be to cause dandruff.  So, if you buy your shampoo from a salon (usually more expensive), then you will be less likely to have problems.\n\nI would recommend Head and Shoulders (or other dandruff shampoos), but these dandruff shampoos never seemed to help me much and usually left my hair greasy.  \n\nAs far as the fallout, that's going to happen no matter what shampoo you use and has nothing to do with the shampoo.  If you're concerned with fallout, you might want to look at your diet to make sure you're getting enough protein.  However, you may simply have genetic pattern baldness.  And,  if that's the case, there's little you can do to stop the genetics.  Although, you might try Minoxdil (over the counter) or Propecia (prescription) to see if that can curb the fallout.

Dandruf comes from overactive skin tissue. Scalp is covered by skin. When overactive, the topmost layer of skin is shed, fell apart, stick on to hair. \n\nConsequently, dandruff comes from the skin, not the hair.\n\nWhat anti-dandruff shampoos are doing is they contain some sort of acid. Acid has a negative charge. This acid charges  both dandruff and hair negative, so they slide on each other. When you wash your hair dandruff slides down. It looks like you get rid off dandruff. But when sking sheds new dandruff it comes back.\n\nWhat is an ideal anti-dandruff shampoo? It should cantain selenium. Selenium acts on skin and renders the skin less active. Helps to reduce the shedding.\n\nCheck your shampoo if it contains selenium. \n\n* Shampoos containing tar may also help. Selenium is more popular though.

If normal dandruff shampoos aren't doing it for you, you may have more than ordinary dandruff.\n\nTry a coal tar shampoo, available at pharmacies and most grocery stores. This will help with mild cases of "psoriasis" and "seborrhaic dermatitis".\n\nGood luck!

Is it psoriasis, dermatitis, or just plain dandruff? Is on on exposed skin or just your hair?\n\nThe easiest answer without knowing your exact condition is this...\n\n1. Use a coal tar shampoo on your scalp (Like T-Gel) or similar dandruff products which can be bought at Walmart...\n\n2. Don't use conditioner all the way down to the roots...(Makes it worse)\n\n3. Getting some sunshine helps dandruff and  psoriasis...May I recomend a local pool? The chlorine seems to help too...\n\nIf the problem still persists very badly or covers a large portion of your body then you should see a dermatologist so they can give you prescription treatments...

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 it probably is dry scalp and the more you use the Head & Shoulders, the more it dries it out. Try using a regular shampoo for a while. My hairdresser told me to buy a shampoo that looks creamy instead of clear and not one with a conditioner included. It does not matter if it is cheap shampoo or expensive, both work the same. The creamy shampoo has moisturizers in it that help with the dry scalp. Take the top off the shampoos in the store and squeeze a little bit up so you can see it and make sure it is creamy looking like lotion. I buy the Suave cheap stuff and my head does not itch or flake anymore. Try it, you have nothing to lose but the flakes.

My doctor recommended a dandruff shampoo to rid your face of discoloration and plenty of vitamins.

Someone once told me that anti-dandruff shampoo was the best way to get rid of a semi permanant hair dye, but I've never tried this.\n\nOtherwise, there are some colour removers available on the market - if you're in Australia, I seem to remember Priceline selling something like this.  It works on every colour hair dye except blonde, so should work on getting rid of the green from your hair!\n\nAlso, if you've been swimming in chlorinated water, this may be what's turned the colour green.

Even your scalp sweat, which is saltish, cause removing of the hair to some extent. Whether chemicals cause thinning or not but they definitely harm the balance of natural chemicals of your body, which you can notice only after a long time. Till then the harm would have done with no scope of recovery.

Do not use listerine, it may cause hair fall.try the tips i've given below instead\n\n\n1. Add six spoonfuls water, two spoonfuls pure vinegar and apply it on the scalp with cotton wool before going to bed. Tie a towel around your head to protect the pillow. Wash your hair next morning. After shampooing, rinse again with vinegar water. Continue this once a week for at least three months. \n\n2. Mix a spoonful of lemon juice with two spoonfuls of vinegar and massage on the scalp.

Just soak the fenugreek seeds overnight in water to soften the seeds and grind in the morning to make paste. Before hair wash, apply this paste on scalp and hair and leave it on for half an hour. Wash off with shampoo later. \n\n5. Egg Pack for Dandruff: Beat two eggs and add two tablespoons of water to it. Wet the hair and apply the egg mixture over the hair.

This is also strange but I have heard rubbing Selson Blue dandruff shampoo on the infected area helps with the flaking and soreness!

http://www.sfsu.edu/~shs/skinclinic/dandruff.htm\n\nHow do we remove dandruff faster than it is produced? Obviously, shampooing more often, going from every-third-day to daily or every-other-day shampooing is the simplest solution to mild dandruff. All shampoos have some detergent action and may be more effective if used more often. Another trick in treating bad dandruff is to leave the shampoo in prolonged contact with the scalp. For example, wash hair, rinse, and reapply shampoo, then apply a shower cap for 30-60 minutes, then do a final rinse.\n\nIf this isn't successful then consider "dandruff' shampoos."  Let us examine how each of the major shampoo categories works, with some pros and cons: \n\n+ Zinc pyrithione shampoos like Suave Dandruff Shampoo, Zincon, or Head and Shoulders have been shown to reduce Pityrosporum yeast and help mild dandruff and seborrhea. \n\n+ Tar-based shampoos like T-Gel, Z-Tar, Ionil T, Sebutone, and Tegrin inhibit turnover of cells  (mitosis). They smell "earthy" and take many applications to work. These may reduce itch. \n\n+ Salicylic acid shampoos like T-Sal, Ionil, and Sebulex mobilize scale or chemically scrub your scalp. Complaints about these are that they may be harsh and leave the scalp dry, leading to more flaking (a cream rinse following this type of shampoo often solves dryness problems). \n\n+ Selenium-sulfide-based shampoos like Selsun or Exsel are usually used 2-3 times a week for 5-10 minutes. Selenium sulfide kills yeast and inhibits cell turnover. \n\n+ Ketoconazole/Nizoral shampoo was introduced because of its anti-yeast effects.  It is about equal to zinc shampoos, though it may work when other agents fail.  It has a pleasant scent.  Its prescription strength is 2% and the over-the-counter form is 1% which is adequate for most cases.  \n\nAny shampoo may work when another fails. It is important to experiment.

NO! That will dry your scalp more. You should wash your hair every other day or 2x's a week. Try using a dandruff shampoo like Selsun Blue or Tegrin.

From personal experience I can tell you that large amounts of caffeine will deplete your B vitamins (they're water soluable, and caffeine is a diuretic).  Inositol is the B vitamin which enables the scalp to hold on to each hair.  When inositol is too low, the hairs will loosen at the root and come out (not breaking, just coming out).\nDecrease caffeine and take a B-vitamin tablet, if you thing this is the cause.\nBest of luck.
