Easy Home Care for Dandruff

(Depkhoenews)-The last thing you need is an itchy, flaky scalp. Dandruff can be caused by anything from dry skin to psoriasis to a fungal infection. If you’re plagued with dandruff, there are several strategies that can clear away the white flakes for good.
Try medicated shampoos. Most of the dandruff shampoos out there are formulated to treat a specific cause of dandruff: Shampoos with zinc pyrithione (like Selsun Salon and Head & Shoulders) have antibacterial and antifungal agents, so they target fungal infections, while those with tar (like Neutrogena T/Gel), work best on dandruff caused by contact dermatitis or psoriasis. If one formulation doesn’t work for you, move on to a different one, and you might find your solution. Experts recommend using medicated shampoos daily until your dandruff clears up, then just once or twice a week to maintain a clear scalp.
Cut back on hair products. Those sprays, gels, and mousses all build up over time. The products themselves may flake off and look like dandruff, or they’ll help trap oil in your scalp, exacerbating your condition.
