Managing severe dandruff

may involve a combination of home remedies and over-the-counter products. Here are some suggestions:
- Tea Tree Oil: Dilute tea tree oil with a carrier oil (like coconut oil) and apply it to the scalp. Leave it on for about 15 minutes before washing it off.
- Aloe Vera Gel: Apply fresh aloe vera gel directly to the scalp. Leave it on for 30 minutes before washing your hair.
- Apple Cider Vinegar: Mix equal parts of water and apple cider vinegar and use it as a rinse after shampooing.
- Coconut Oil: Massage warm coconut oil into your scalp, leave it overnight, and then wash your hair in the morning.
- Change Shampoos: Switch to an anti-dandruff shampoo containing ingredients like ketoconazole, selenium sulfide, or zinc pyrithione.
- Maintain Hygiene: Wash your hair regularly, but not excessively, and avoid using very hot water.
- Healthy Diet: Ensure you’re eating a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals.
If the dandruff persists despite trying these remedies, it’s advisable to consult with a dermatologist. They can provide personalized recommendations and may prescribe medicated shampoos or other treatments based on the severity of the condition.
