Best dandruff treatment??

[Salsa]

For the past few years I have had dandruff, but during my last pregnancy it got more obvious.
Head and shoulders dosent work, I have brought Nizoral and used it about 3 -4 times so far...not sur eif its working either.

Do I need to keep trying products till I get one that works or is there a treatment that is really good that I should try?

I am short and have dark hair, so its a real problem

Going chemical free worked for me.

I get psoriasis...so not dandruff as such but still a skin condition.

Havent seen a hint of it on my skin or hair (and my scalp was BAD - like cracked and bleeding...gross and sore) since choosing not to wash my skin and hair with chemicals.

oh you poor thing.
Thats not my problem, DH has a on going problem that makes his scalp sore and bleed sometimes, and I have used his 'tar' shampoo, but that didnt make much difference either. Infact I dont think it helped him much, he preferes not to wash it too often. We often use tea tree shampoo, I think its quite good.

My mum went off things like vegemite and cheese and hers cleared up completely! Apparently fungal type things give her dandruff!

Oh yeah I know what your DH means...the tar type shampoos never did a thing for me either. Made it sting but that's about it! :-)

Hmmm, I wonder if I should try that? I have been eating cheese for the past few years, but never used to ( as Im actually allergic to dairy, but cheese only mildly). I never used to have dandruff till a few years ago, probably around when I started eating cheese!
I thought perhaps though it might be hormonal, since I only developed it in my late 20`s/30.
How long did it take for your mum to see a difference?

hmm not sure, but not long (not like months or anything!) I'll find out. Worth a shot I rekon!
