What do you mean by "reasses?"
Zooposki:
If all the instructions you are being given fails, just use only warm water to wash your hair. Don't use cream, oils anything on your hair. This will regulate your hair oil control. Your hair might go through different stages while on this protocol, from very dry to very oily. Reassess after a few weeks/months. You can use a little bit of baking soda from time to time on your scalp if you feel it is too oily.

What's the difference between dandruff and hair lice?
Dandruff is shed skin of the scalp. Hair lice is a living animal living on your hair and scalp.

Lol, spelling mistake. I meant reaccess: To examine the situation again to see if there's been any changes.

What is the difference between the two?
olofa78:
I used to experience the same problem.

1. you need to identify and differentiate dry scalp and dandruff
2. Mixed any Anti Fungi Cream e,g Funbat-A with your Hair Crean and apply daily
3. Ensure you cream you Hair Daily and let the cream gets to your scalp to keep it soft

Trust me it will work, this was how i was able to control mine

What is headgear pls?
EDGEof2MORO:
I'm so glad no one has come here to say it is a spiritual problem. Nairalanders are beginning to have small sense. Thanks to seun's new antispam bot.

I think Love800 will do better if he keeps a low-cut hairstyle for a few weeks, and bathe at least once a day (paying attention to his hair). That will stop the dandruff for sure.

No headgear while doing this

What did you use finally to get rid of it?
iamL:
I battled this problem into my adulthood, as a lady any saloon I visit they complain alot. There's nothing I didn't do including using my morning urine to engine oil and the rest none worked but today am free of it.

Where can one buy black soap. In normal stores and kiosk?
Uche559:
The African black soap, d one Hausa people called sabulun solo works for me. I stumble on d soap accidentally n I notice after few days, dandruff disappeared. I think d soap, hair cream n shampoo we r using may even be d problem.
Though d soap can make one skin looks darker. But I was told there is a way it can be fine tuned. But is nice n even cheap.

What's cacatin hair treatment pls?
This is it. It works like magic. Ensure it's the hair treatment cream they give you, not the body cream.

You can find it in CMS, Ojodu Berger garage and other markets where they sell body cream.

Advert go soon full this thread

I think it has to do with skin dryness, dryness of hair scalp that breeds it

After using a strong shampoo, maybe using medicated oil & hair cream would help
Re: Dandruff Is Driving Me Into Depression! by Love800(op): 12:41pm On May 19, 2025
It will work?
femi4:
Apply kerosene
Re: Dandruff Is Driving Me Into Depression! by Love800(op): 12:54pm On May 19, 2025
What is acv?
sonofthunder:
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.
Re: Dandruff Is Driving Me Into Depression! by Love800(op): 12:57pm On May 19, 2025

Nothing. I just noticed that it went away on its own. But the last combination I did before I noticed their disappearance is groundnut oil, haircream and camfor Ground together and mixed. I used it once then forgot about it, after 2 year before i noticed their absence.

That's what our forefathers used to use

Kerosene and camphor

Re: Dandruff Is Driving Me Into Depression! by Love800(op): 7:07pm On May 19, 2025
Wow.

Thanks so much.
Cutezt:
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): 7:09pm On May 19, 2025

Re: Dandruff Is Driving Me Into Depression! by Love800(op): 7:17pm On May 19, 2025
So i won't bath again?
Berankis:
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.

Love800:

You should apply it after bathing. It is just Dettol but it is very very effective. You can cope till you get the result you need. You won't use it forever, just for a while...
Re: Dandruff Is Driving Me Into Depression! by Love800(op): 7:29pm On May 19, 2025
I will mix the detergent with the local soap? Or i should use them separately?
OZIOGU1:
Yes
Re: Dandruff Is Driving Me Into Depression! by Love800(op): 7:38pm On May 19, 2025

Apple cider vinegar. But you'll have to dilute it with some water.


Personally I'll advise not to try too many solutions at same time.
