Is native shampoo good for dandruff?

Don't worry too much, dandruff is extremely common and easily treatable. Native is a great regular shampoo, but it won't cure a flaky scalp. Just use a medicated anti-dandruff shampoo twice a week, and use Native on other days to keep your hair soft.

My grandmother always recommended applying warm coconut oil with a little camphor for dandruff, which is very soothing. However, for persistent flakes, a doctor's recommended shampoo is best. Native is nice and mild, but it may not target the root cause of the dandruff.

Since I manage my diabetes, I know that skin and scalp infections can sometimes happen due to high sugar levels. While Native is a clean shampoo, it doesn't have active antifungal ingredients like ketoconazole. If your dandruff is severe, a medical shampoo might be necessary.

When I visited the dermatologist at Kokilaben Hospital for my scaling scalp, she explained that normal cosmetic shampoos like Native won't clear fungal dandruff. You should ask a skin doctor clearly if you need a medicated anti-dandruff wash instead.

I agree, Native is too mild for stubborn dandruff. You actually need an active ingredient like zinc pyrithione or salicylic acid to really clear the scalp.

I get so worried when I see hair fall along with dandruff, it makes me feel like I am going bald. Native is sulfate-free which is good, but I am scared the oils in it might feed the scalp fungus and make dandruff worse. Maybe test it on a small patch first?

My hair is already leaving my head, and now this dandruff wants to occupy the remaining space! Native shampoo smells great, but honestly, it did nothing for my flakes. I had to go back to my trusted old dandruff shampoo from the local pharmacy.
