How to Get Rid of Dandruff With Sulfur-Based Products
Dandruff is embarrassing. People with dandruff spend a lot of time brushing their shoulders (particularly when wearing black). It even shows up in your hair. Dandruff is simply dead skin cells from your scalp. Pityrosporum-ovle is the microorganism that makes you have dandruff. The best treatment to begin with is sulfur-based products, which have been in use since the 1930s.
