Treatment For Dandruff

It is difficult to treat dandruff satisfactorily because it is one of those things that fall within a larger group of conditions that we all have to learn to manage and live with.

If you are keeping to the SCM formula but you are not getting a result, then you need a shampoo formulated to fight dandruff. Dandruff caused by fungus is a chronic condition and therefore not likely to go away by itself. You WILL need to treat it constantly for relief.

You may require prescription-strength treatment which may contain steroids, rather than over-the-counter preparations.

The scales/flakes can be kept under control with frequent use of certain ingredients. If flakes are severe, topical applications of corticosteroid solutions may be helpful. BUT let your doctor do the prescribing for you.

The trick is to keep your flakes and itching under control. Look for a product that is gentle enough for black hair that has been straightened with relaxing cream or colour with peroxide formula.

The most important thing to know is that the treatment of dandruff may need to be continued INDEFINITELY. Frequent shampooing is therefore normal: do not except that after shampooing even with the right products a few times, you will never see the dandruff again. You WILL ALWAYS have to use these special shampoos intermittently, even though you will still need to use your neutralizing or other type shampoos when necessary. I suggest you use….
