Dandruf problem
I have a bad dandruff problem I use a dove shampoo to wash my hair daily and oil my hair at least 3 time a week. Can someone please help me get rid of my dandruff? Are there any effective home remedies? If not what should I do?

Hi. Oiling your hair will not reduce dandruff. Rather it's like providing food for the fungus which causes the dandruff. You'll need an antifungal shampoo and dove shampoo alone may not be enough. Home remedies I m not sure if it's effective or if it works... But some people claim application of curds or egg white helps. I am not prescribing or recommending the same.
Warm regards
