How to get rid of dandruff flakes?

I have these annoying dandruff flakes that are always visible on my dark clothes. It's really embarrassing when I'm out. What's the best way to get rid of these flakes so they don't reappear?

Hormonal imbalances from thyroid issues can often cause very dry skin and dandruff flakes. I highly recommend getting your thyroid levels tested and consulting a doctor for proper management.

Be gentle with your body and keep a peaceful mind. Regularly washing your hair with warm water and keeping yourself hydrated can help reduce these dry flakes naturally.

I visited a skin specialist at a reputed hospital for my flaky scalp. They gave me a specific lotion and advised me to ask clearly about how often to wash to prevent dryness.

Don't scratch your scalp hard to remove the flakes, it will only cause swelling or infection. Use a mild anti-dandruff shampoo gently and let it heal slowly.

I know how frustrating those white flakes on black clothes can be. I tried curd, lemon, and oils, but a simple medicated zinc shampoo from the chemist was the only practical solution.

I had a similar issue last winter. Keeping my hair brush clean and using a mild, sulfate-free anti-dandruff cleanser twice a week completely cleared my scalp flakes.
