Get Rid of Dandruff

Those little white flakes that appear on your shoulder can ruin your day and make you feel self-conscious. Want to beat the dandruff blues for good? Read on to see the best and easiest remedies to fight those obnoxious enemies of black jackets and shirts!

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Step 1

First best step is to try one of the following shampoo treatments:
- Selsun Blue
- Head and Shoulders
- Neutrogena T/Gel

These are tried and true methods that are able to control dandruff in a little as two uses.
Step 2

Cut back on your styling products until your dandruff has cleared and stayed gone. Certain products can dry you scalp out exacerbating the symptoms of dandruff. They can also dry and form flakes themselves that can mimic the look of dandruff.
Step 3

Reduce the amount of fat and oil in your diet. Oil in your hair follicles contributes to dandruff by sticking dead cells together to make the flakes.
Step 4

Cover your head in the sun - if you scalp is already dry then exposing it to sun and potential burning can make flakes worse.
Step 5

Shampoo often, between once a day and once every two days. This will also help keep oil at bay and clear away flakes as they form before they can jump onto your nice shirt!
