I don't know is it dandruff or not
My hairs were heavy and curly so my friend suggested me to use this local hair straightener cream it burned my hair I felt like they were burned. They became light and straight but rough. But now when I changed my shampoo I have this dentruff in my hair but its not like normal dentruf like the one we see in adds on tv. It's like that nasty head on pimple which we sometimes rip off when it dries and my dentruff dont fall off my hairs it stick in my hair I cut short my hairs thought it will go but

Hi ! Thanks for your query. Dandruff is a chronic condition that comes and goes. It is due, in part, to a yeast that lives in the scalp. There are many effective treatments including shampoos made of : ketoconazole, selenium sulfide,  zinc pyrithione, You can use a ketoconazole containing antidandruff shampoo like “Scalpe”after washing scalp with your regular shampoo thrice a week for a month and then as maintenance at least once a week for 2 months.You need to leave the product on for 5 to 10 minutes prior to rinsing.  This will help to control the yeast responsible for dandruff. Avoid hair styling products and gels on scalp. Do not keep scalp oiled for long time. Do not share combs etc. Air dry your hair. Avoid using hair dryers. Do not scratch or itch.
