Dandruff affects 1 in 2 people at some time in their life. Getting rid of dandruff by simply washing in special shampoo can take weeks. Follow these steps to control dandruff quickly.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Apply a layer of dandruff shampoo to the scalp and do not rinse it off. Cover the hair with a shower cap and leave the shampoo on the hair over night. Wash and rinse well in the morning. Selsun Blue and Head & Shoulders are excellent choices.

  2. Step 2

    Apply oregano or tea tree oil on your scalp. These oils are well known for their natural antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal properties. An application of these oils can help cure the infection that causes dandruff and relieve scalp inflammation.

  3. Step 3

    Another possibility is to apply original Listerine mouthwash to the scalp to kill the infection. The Listerine can be applied undiluted or it can be diluted in equal parts with apple cider vinegar and water.

  4. Step 4

    Add nutrients to your diet to control yeast which can be a major contributor to dandruff. Increase your intake of Omega-3 fats, vitamin B, and vitamin A.
