I’ve been dealing with dandruff since I was a kid, it’s always made me really insecure and always wear a hat. I’ve tried plenty of different hair products, none seem to work. It’s not just my hair on my scalp, it’s my beard as well. I’m a 19 year old male (Caucasian), I’ve been already deciding if I want to go bald or not. I still get dandruff even with a buzzcut and stubble. My skin just sucks. Please feel free to recommend products. I’m trying to improve my life and I find this to be one of the most annoying things.

When you shower you’re supposed to vigorous rub your scalp with your finger tips. Some people don’t get taught how to do it.

[EDIT: P.S I once got rid of a psoriasis like skin irritation by giving it an even cover of yakult three times a day (once in the morning, once at lunch time, and once before bed). My theory on why this worked is that it reset the biome whilst forming a protective shell that deprived oxygen to the effected area.]

I sometimes do that when I have a bad bout of dandruff. Mostly out of OCD not because I knew that it was good practice. I’ll look into that.

I have dandruff and I use a hairbrush to scrub my scalp with the shampoo. It seems to help but what also helps is swapping between medicated shampoos as eventually they stop working as well.

Purelan, lanolin cream. It’s sheep fat. Can’t use it for your hair, but you can use it everywhere else.

Here’s what you do: go to the store and buy 3-5 dandruff shampoos with different active ingredients and cycle between them every time you wash your hair and face (don’t shy away from smearing the shampoo on your face as well). Also, leave it on there a few minutes before rinsing.

Also vitamin D oil is great for face and beard.

This shampoo is great to add into the rotation. The same company makes a face cream that is super good, too.
