Dandruff is frequently caused by scalp dryness rather than by bacterial action. The most effective way to solve dryness is to wash your hair every other day using water as hot as you can stand and to massage the scalp as firmly as you can while using a mild shampoo. I worked as a hairdresser for some years and this method worked in most cases.

If this hasn't solved the problem in a few weeks, use any of the various medicated shampoos designed to combat bacteria. Certain well-known anti-dandruff shampoos, which I'd better not name, are completely ineffective and while curing the problem temporarily will probably worsen the dandruff. Speak to a trained hairdresser or pharmacist for recommendations.

Don't confuse dandruff with dry skin. Dandruff must be treated with a medicated shampoo try one from your local salon it will cost more than the typical head and shoulders, but it's worth every penny. Joico and Matrix both have anti-dandruff shampoos that work great. DON'T scrub your head with hot water you will only irritate it.

What is the fastest way to get rid of dandruff?

Answer: There are many products available in the market for the treatment of dandruff but after using those products dandruff is removed only for a short period of time. We should use a shampoo which can remove dandruff very fast as well as could work on the reason behind dandruff. Main reason behind the dandruff is dry scalp. Chemist Direct provides an anti-dandruff shampoo known as Nizoral shampoo. This shampoo clears dandruff from our hairs in just one wash and then it works on dry,itchy and red scalp to treat it and make it clear and healthy.
