There’s no cure for dandruff, but it’s fairly easy to control by washing your hair more often with a medicated shampoo. Leave it in for 5 minutes before rinsing to give it a chance to work. Pick one with one or more of these ingredients:
• Coal tar (Neutrogena T/Gel, Tegrin) • Zinc pyrithione (Suave Dandruff Control, Pert Plus Dandruff Control, Head & Shoulders) • Salicylic acid (T-Sal, Sebulex) • Selenium sulfide (Selsun Blue) • Ketoconazole (Nizoral A-D)
