How can one cure dandruff?

Anytime i go to the salon to cut my hair, white stuffs is seen flying everywhere, like powder being blown by breeze!
Inside the following week after the barbing, after a while when through with my bath, my head will be shinning all white with dry white flakes falling from my head. Maybe when my hair is now fully grown back, nobody notices the white stuff again. After sometime when i visit the salon again for an hair-cut, the problem continues again!

NOTE: i have tried many solutions but no one has been effective! How do i get it off my hair/head?

Get Aloe vera leaf..
Scrap the back and use the jelly on your scalp immediately after cutting your hair. You can continue applying it till the hair start coming out.

Someone recommended acv.

You can also try fresh aloe very. Rub it into your head/scalp and leave for hours/overnight then bath.

All the best.

I don do this one tire! No result.
Inside my room is filled with shampoos and damatol!
You can go on skin cut for a while to find out exactly what to do with that scalp

Skin cut makes you wash your hair thoroughly on a daily basis both morning and night bath

Let's see if there will an improvement

Barb all your hair and use comb or brush to brush off the dandruff, use a good shampoo to wash your hair and look for coconut oil and be rubbing everyday after taking your bath
Re: Dandruff Is Driving Me Into Depression! by suzzyrims: 4:49pm On May 18, 2025
Buy anti dandruff combo from nature's gentle touch. There products are not expensive and very effective. Search for that name on Instagram. I once had dandruff like you but now it has disappeared.

After rubbing it on my head, wont i wash it off?
Berankis:
Try this remedy. It will work a 100%. Buy original bottle of Dettol (any size).
Apply directly on your head. Morning and night, you have to cope with the strong smell of antiseptic after application.
Do this for a month. If this doesn't work, nothing else can.
Re: Dandruff Is Driving Me Into Depression! by Love800(op): 8:56pm On May 18, 2025
You are saying i should avoid using soap to bath?
OluwatobiJoshua:
Desist from using your bathing soap from washing your hair while taking your bath. Every 3 days use shampoo to wash your hair. Don't wash your hair everyday 3 days interval is okay. Thank me later.

Also, use normal baby oil to cream your hair, not all this conventional cream.

What's the difference between dandruff and hair lice?
CorrectionFLuid:
For hair lice, yes. But dandruff is not a transmittable infection. It's not even an infection. It's just a reaction that requires management. It has no cure.

Go to any big store, Shoprite or game has it. It has a sour smell, smells like old palm wine, just put it in a spray bottle or something and spray on your head.

It works perfectly to manage all types of dandruff, it even did wonders on one of my old dogs who had dandruff and her hair was falling, after 2 weeks, all hair grew back.
Re: Dandruff Is Driving Me Into Depression! by Love800(op): 9:20pm On May 18, 2025

Apply hydraulic on the scarf of your hair, no waste money dey buy buy. Just ask anyone who has a car.

Don't wash it off. It will wear off on its own. Later you apply again in the night before you sleep. As you do it, after a week, you should see a difference then continue till the dandruff is totally off.

Your comment is confusing. You said i should not wash my hair regularly, yet you said i should bath two times a day!
CorrectionFLuid:
Dear love800

Dandruff is not an infection. It's a reaction. For instance, some people are allergic to bee sting. While others are not. You can not get dandruff from someone, and you can not give it to anyone.

There is a fungi that lives on everyone's hair. This fungi feeds on the outermost skin on the hair scalp. For many, this is not an issue. But for some people such as you and I, our body sees this action as an attack, and therefore shed the entire outermost skin of the scalp. That's what's called dandruff: the scalp skin shedding.

Dandruff can only be managed through lifestyle changes. It can not be cured.

Lifestyle changes you can make include to reduce the effects of dandruff, and the embarrassment that comes with it includes:

1. Use very mild soap or shampoos to wash your hair. Don't ever use strong or medicated soaps.

2. Wash your hair less regularly. You might be tempted or frustrated into washing your hair everyday. I was too. But that will only serve to worsen the situation. Twice a week is good enough. I wash Sundays and Thursdays.

3. Make sure your hair is never dry. Use hair creams to keep your scalp from drying out once you're out of the shower. Any oil based hair cream will do, but there are few made specifically for people troubled with dandruff. Damatol is one.

4. Bath twice a day, and brush your hair each time. I currently use weavon brush, because regular comb does not scrap the scalp like I want.

5. Have a routine haircut. Mine is every two weeks. Letting your hair grow too much will cause the shed skin(dandruff) to remain and accumulate on your head. Keep it short so that the hair brush can touch your scalp and remove those shed skin.

6. Stay hydrated. Drink lots of water in order to prevent dry skin and dry scalp, which triggers shedding of skin by your body.

7. Take supplements. Find a good vitamin supplement and take regularly in order to improve the body nutrients, and strengthen the skin in such a way that skin shedding will reduce.

Like I said, managing dandruff requires lifestyle changes. It can not be treated, as much as you can not treat allergies. It's just the way out body is, and we have to take it like that.
Re: Dandruff Is Driving Me Into Depression! by Love800(op): 10:30am On May 19, 2025
It works?
sonssyo:
get a camphor and grind it, pour it into all your hair and mix accordingly, then wait for like 10- 15 minutes , please note that it will be hot, very hot, then wash after that duration. It will kill it. Then get a dermatol cream and be robbing on it
