Dandruff issue.
My dandruff is very bad..most people have it light from an oily scalp but I can't figure mine out..I have rough, dry, brittle hair that's constantly knotted..I wash my hair twice a week with an anti dandruff shampoo but even after I wash my hair the flakes continue to stay there when my hair is wet..it itches but does not smell. But it is so bad that it looks like I've designed my clothes with it and that Ive applied powder to my hair..it feels like I have a disease..cause I've seen light small dandruff and these and thick flakes that are stuck to my scalp..anti dandruff shampoos just seem to dry my hair out even further.

Hi ! Thanks for your query.
Dandruff is a common occurence. It has a tendency to recur. You have to take continuous efforts to keep it at bay.
1. Shampoo hair as frequently as required. Keep the hair clean. 2. Avoid hair styling products till dandruff goes off. 3. Use anti dandruff shampoo which contains ketoconazole once or twice a week. 4.Oil clean washed hair. 5. Do not try to scrape or comb away the flakes. Be gentle with your hair and scalp. 6. Wash your combs and brushes regularly. Do not share them
