Dandruff Problem
I have a very bad dandruff problem. Everytime I use some shampoo like Head & Shoulders, dandruff goes away for 2-3 days but then it resurfaces. Then I have to use the shampoo again and this cycle repeats itself. I have used coconut oil, almond oil and Navratan but nothing works. Please suggest me something because this has been happening to me since a long time and it is very irritating.
