Along with washing, please focus on your diet too because too much sugar and oily food can increase yeast growth on the scalp. Eat fresh vegetables and curd to improve your gut health. For washing, use a mild, chemical-free shampoo and rinse it thoroughly with normal water.
Bro, honestly, just don't scrub your scalp with your nails while washing, it only makes it more red and irritated. Just use your fingertips to gently rub the shampoo in. I do this twice a week and my scalp feels so much cleaner now.
My mother always tells me to apply coconut oil mixed with camphor, but my dermatologist advised me to avoid heavy oils when there is active dandruff. Now I just wash my hair with a prescription ketoconazole shampoo twice a week. It keeps the scalp clean and healthy without any heavy build-up.
I barely get 5 hours of sleep, and dealing with dandruff in the morning is the worst chore. I just apply my anti-dandruff shampoo, close my eyes for 3 minutes to rest, and then wash it out. Just make sure you wash it all out completely, or the residue will cause more itching.
Agree with keeping the scalp dry and clean. Washing your hair with lukewarm water instead of very hot water really helps in preventing the scalp from drying out.
I suffered from stubborn dandruff for three years before I figured out the right way to wash it. You must let the anti-dandruff shampoo sit on your scalp for five full minutes before rinsing, otherwise, the medicine doesn't work. Also, wash your hair towels and pillowcases in hot water regularly.

Consistency is key to getting rid of those annoying white flakes! Just use a scalp brush gently while shampooing to loosen the dead skin. Wash it off thoroughly and enjoy your fresh, clean hair.
Stop using heavy hair gels and creams if you have dandruff, they just trap the dust and oil. Use a clarifying shampoo once a week and a medicated anti-dandruff one on other days. It is simple science, just keep your scalp clean and oil-free.
