How to Treat Dandruff

Use a shampoo designed to treat dandruff. If dandruff die hard despite regular shampooing, you may need rather accented. There are a variety of anti-dandruff shampoos available at your pharmacy or grocery store, and they usually work. Be sure to follow the directions carefully, and make a little extra time to shower, as most of these recommend that you leave them in for 5-10 minutes and lather twice. If the anti-dandruff shampoos seem to not work you can also try a shampoo which contains tea tree oil, this natural oil helps moisturize your scalp and keep the flakes away. (You can also add tea tree oil to your shampoo yourself. Add 5 or 6 drops to begin with.)

Be patient. While anti-dandruff shampoos may produce results after a few uses, it can take a week or two to see the difference.

Switch it up. If one type of anti-dandruff shampoo doesn't seem to work, or if it works for a time but then doesn't, switch to a product with another active component (the active ingredient will be labeled on the bottle).
