Dandruff can be a result of many things. Out  of that overuse of dry and strong shampoos, non application of oil and seasonal dryness are some of the main reasons. Get checked to rule out fungal infection. Application of eggwhite to the scalp helps. Apply it for 10 minutes and wash it off with lukewarm water. Do this 2-3 times a week initially and then 1-2 times a week. It is also useful in preventing hair loss. So you can continue using it for as long as you want, just take care not to mix in the egg yolk (yellow) as egg yolk leaves an unpleasant odour. If the problem persists consult somebody.

A variety of factors can cause dandruff in hair, e.g. increased intake of dry, cold, oily, spicy, and penetrating foods, hyperactivity of the sebaceous glands such as sweat glands, environmental allergens such as dust, cobwebs, sunlight, certain fabrics, soaps, shampoos and even certain types of food are sometimes responsible for dandruff. Some people have skins that are sensitive to seasonal changes. These people are also very vulnerable to dandruff. Stress is directly related to dandruff. People who live in a constant state of anxiety are prone to dandruff. Excessive cosmetic hair treatments such as hair-conditioning and hair-coloring, using hair curlers, perms and hair-bonding often result in a weak skin and eventually lead to dandruff. Diet & Lifestyle Advice Wash hair regularly 2-3 times a week with a mild shampoo. Massage your hair with oil every time before washing the head and hair. Avoid spicy, greasy, hot and penetrating foods, junk food, and aerated drinks. Have food with good nutritive value; include fiber-rich foods, salads, fruits, and lentils. Do regular yoga and exercises to minimize stress levels. Avoid scratching the scalp with hands or any other objects.
