Aspirin is also known as acetylsalicylic acid. Due to the name being so close to salicylic acid, which is commonly found in dandruff shampoos, some people figure it is the same thing.

They are related, because aspirin is created through a reaction between salicylic acid and acetic acid, but they are not the same. Acetic acid is actually corrosive to skin.

It is better to just stick to products that actually contain salicylic acid, like some formulas of Head and Shoulders or Selson Blue. It will tell you on the label.

No, it's just not good to shampoo everyday. Shampoo your hair every couple days, not every day, you will strip it of its natural oils.

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.
