The Way to Wash
Using dandruff shampoo is the best way to eliminate dandruff. After massaging the shampoo into your scalp be sure wait for at least five minutes before rinsing so the medication can be absorbed.
Antidandruff Options
There are various medications to look for in dandruff shampoo that help to reduce flakes, itching and irritation. Look for shampoos that contain selenium sulfide, salicylic acid and sulfur, pyrithione zinc, ketoconazole and coal tar.
Keep Changing Products
Go from one shampoo product to another to keep your dandruff problem guessing. I know many people end up using the same product for too long and then it looses its effectiveness. The best way to use antidandruff shampoo is to continue switching to products that have different ingredients.
Luke Warm Water
Washing your hair in tepid water – not hot, not cold – is the best option if you have dandruff. I have found that hot water actually strips your scalp of its natural oils, leaving it dryer and more dehydrated which is a recipe for more dandruff.
Was Frequently
Increase the amount of time you wash your hair every week to almost every day. Washing your hair frequently reduces the build up of dead cells on your scalp which can cause dandruff. A clean scalp also reduces the growth of dandruff causing fungus.
Rinse Well
It is very important to make sure the shampoo is entirely rinsed out of your hair. I have learned the hard way that soap residue left on the scalp, antidandruff or not, can cause and increase dandruff build up.
