Shampoo and Conditioner
People who have dandruff, hair fall, grey hair have to wash hair preferably every alternate day ot atleast twice a week. Apply Conditioner whenever you wash hair. Keep your damp hair in a towel for about 15 minutes. Comb it in a gentle massage like movements and only brush gently.
Oiling hair every time before wash, isnt a gr8 idea. Once a fortnight oiling is fine. To wash your hair, always wet it first before applying shampoo. Then, lather it by massaging with your fingertips. Rinse thoroughly until clean.
Avoid using shampoos with alcohol. Dont use dove or pantene. Use something like herbal essence. Condition your hair every time after you wash it.

Dandruff:
Unfortunately there is no cure for dandruff yet.once you get it you may continue to have it, but there are ways that you can control and limit dandruff.
If you have mild dandruff, shampooing your hair with a regular shampoo daily will usually yeild good results. Stronger shampoos can irritate and dry out your hair making flakes more. An anti-dandruff shampoo should improve your dandruff signifigantly in a couple of weeks. Once you have found an anti-dandruff shampoo that works for you, keep on using it or your dandruff will most likely reoccur.
Poor health may be the cause of your dandruff, so be sure to get enough sleep, eat nutritiously, and avoid stress inducing activities. Something in your diet may cause you to have an allergic reaction and trigger dandruff. Some foods that commonly cause an alergic reaction causing dandruff include nuts, choclate and shellfish.
If you have to scratch your head, avoid using your fingernails to scratch, instead use the pads of your fingers. Wear a hat outdoor, on days that are extremely cold, windy, and when you're going to be out in the sun for a lengthy period.
Make sure that you get an adequate ammount of B6 in your diet, which will help prevent dandruff. Ready-to-eat cereals are rich sources for B6.
