Follow these practices to keep your scalp clean and healthy-
1. wash hair every alternate day- from root to tip.
2. Use a hair oil 1 hour before shampoo.
3. Dont rub your hair vigorously, gently pat dry.
4. use a conditioner if hair are frizzy.
If Your dandruff stays even after these practices, consult a dermatologist. The doctor will check if its normal dandruff or seborrhoeic dermatitis or psoriasis of scalp and accordingly you will be prescribed the medication required.
