Honestly, stop experimenting with random things. Just get a proper ketoconazole shampoo from the chemist and use it twice a week. It actually works wonders and clears up the scalp much faster than any home remedy.

In our times, we used to apply a little fresh curd mixed with a few drops of lemon juice on the scalp before bathing. Keep it on for just fifteen minutes and wash it off with lukewarm water. Do not leave oil in your hair for days together, as it only makes the dandruff worse.

I used to literally stress out every time I saw white flakes on my black tops, thinking I was going bald. But honestly, it is super common and totally manageable once you find the right mild shampoo. Don't worry at all, just keep your scalp clean and it will settle down.

Bhai, humare yahan toh log neem ke patte paani mein ubaal kar usse baal dhote hain. It clears the scalp nicely and stops the itching too. Do try this once, it is very simple and ghar pe hi ho jayega.

Sometimes dry, flaky scalp is linked to hormonal imbalances like thyroid issues, which was the case for me. If basic anti-dandruff shampoos are not working, please get a routine blood test done and consult a doctor. It is always better to address the root cause.
