How to manage dandruff?
My scalp has been super itchy and flaky lately, and I think it's dandruff. I've tried a few shampoos but nothing seems to work completely. What are some effective ways to manage dandruff, maybe some home remedies also?

Stop oiled hair overnight thinking it will cure dryness, it actually feeds the fungus that causes dandruff. Use a good ketoconazole shampoo twice a week and keep your scalp clean.

Try diluted apple cider vinegar rinse after shampooing, it really helped balance my scalp's pH! 🌟 Just remember not to scratch your scalp with nails when it itches.

Persistent dandruff can sometimes be seborrheic dermatitis. If over-the-counter anti-dandruff shampoos don't work within 3-4 weeks, please consult a dermatologist for targeted treatment.

Sweaty scalp after a workout can worsen dandruff. Make sure you wash your hair with a gentle cleanser after heavy training sessions to prevent fungal buildup.
