Dandruff–everyone hates it! It is thus very important to prevent, or control dandruff, which may be due to hormonal changes, infrequent shampooing, use of greasy products, stress, anxiety, dry winter days, or a condition called psoriasis.

In all the above cases, dandruff may be prevented or cured. Use a shampoo that suits your condition. If the shampoo you initially bought does not make you happy, shop for another one. Change shampoo if you still do not find the right one for you. There are two common brands that work, Selsun Blue and Head and Shoulders. Use them alternately. Try coming up with a regular cycle, so that your scalp will not become habitual to only one active ingredient in the shampoo in use.

If you have a severe case of dandruff, seek professional help. Do not take advice and treatments from one who is not a professional.
