I’ll keep this short, looking for advice: I have really bad dandruff and it’s embarrassing that it constantly gets on my shirt collar and shoulders. Constantly brushing it off at work. I’ve tried head and shoulders and that didn’t work, all the home remedies I’ve read about have people advocating for and against so I’m always conflicted on what to do, anyone have any solid advice? Mid 20’s male medium-short hair. I have thick hair btw but I’d ideally like to stop the flaking of the scalp not shave my head. :(
Go to dr ask for prescription grade anti dandruff works good but will dry out your hair
My hair is already more dry than average 😭😭😭
Try Neutrogena T Gel, much stronger than head & shoulders
I had a fungal infection called sebborheic dernatitis. Dermatologist gave me an over the counter shampoo and it worked.
Head and shoulders is bottom shelf nonsense. Go to whole foods or specialized cosmetics store and they will give you a medical shampoo. There are french one Ducray. Not sure if they sell them in the US but they could
The haircut lady told me I should dry my hair after bathing. But don't feel too bad, dandruff is normal and caused by fungi that everybody has. I hope this vid helps you feel better. https://youtu.be/TIe2oerd25c
Just wash your hair twice a week.
I usually shower every day or every 2 days. If I don’t wash my hair often it becomes visibly oily, I don’t want to give off the impression that I don’t wash myself :(
So here is the thing. You do not need to wash your hair every day. Fuck, you probably don't need to wash it with shampoo more often than once every couple of weeks. Everyday shampoo and conditioner nonese is marketing brainwashing you were conditioned to believe. Your head gets oily because you wash it every day, drying out your scalp which then needs to suplement oil to keep your nugget's skin balance. Throw all of that shit away and let your skin recover. Wash it with warm (not hot) water. Occasionally use the simplest soap you can buy like vanicream. Do you have any other skin problems? What do you eat?
One thing I don’t understand is if I spend one night with a comb and my nails scratching and I remove a LARGE amount of dead skin, it never seems to stop in that one sitting, I’ll take a shower and the next day it’s as if it has “reloaded” extremely demoralizing.
Dont do that. Change your shampoo to something that balances your scalp (coal tar shampoo) and it will be gone.. its not a matter of removing them by hand..
Sounds like paralysis by analysis. My advice, your hair will react differently than others. Set up a controlled experiment, use a spreadsheet to track and then start running through the list of remedies to see what works for you. It’ll take some time to show results so give each test 2 weeks to 1 month. My personal recommendation is coconut oil. But just try and see what works.
This hit really hard! Thank you I will start monitoring more diligently
See a dermatologist. That is probably your best shot at a solution. My husband had a similar issue around that age. For him it helped to keep his hair short and completely cleared up after we moved to a dryer climate.
He also stopped washing his hair every day based on the advice from his hair stylist. They said rinse it daily, but only use shampoo once or twice a week.
