Different products work different for everybody,so you may have to try a few before you find one that works for you.

Start with like,Head and Shoulders,Neutragena T-gel,or Selsun blue.If that still doesnt work you may have another problem like Seborrheic Dermatitis and should consult a dermatologist.

I tried all of the products that the previous poster mentioned but the dandruff didn't clear up until I used Nizoral. It was a little more expensive than the others, but not all that much and I don't have to use it very often to maintain the results. I found it at Fred Meyer, but imagine it is at most drug stores.

What products for dry hair?

Another product line: the Renpure line from Redmond (Aussie). I swim every other day and the combination of using a swim cap and using this shampoo and conditioner (the whole line is organicd so that's good too) keeps my hair feeling like real hair rather than like the old-Barbie hair it felt like before. I color my hair too, and these products are great for retaining color as well, as much as anything can counteract an hour of chlorine bleach 4 times a week... The ones I use are "my pretty hair is parched" and "amazing miracle reconstructor". They're pretty inexpensive, considering the quality of their ingredients. I don't do a plastic bag for the conditioner part, but I do try to leave it on for a good 3-5 minutes. My hair always feels great afterwards. Here's a link. I'm really impressed with this line and have taken advantage of sales to buy enough for a good long time to come. Here is a link that might be useful: organic, deep-conditioning

I just this morning put mayo all over my head, put some plastic wrap over it, let it sit for about an hour, and then then washed it out. Really didn't seem to help me much... but some people swear by it. There are a lot of home conditioning treatments you could try... Olive Oil, honey, etc.. I should try that Biosilk. Can you buy that in the store? And what is it you recommend... a shampoo, a leave in conditioning treatment, hair serum? There's always so much out there I never know what's what. I do think a lot of hair dryness has to do with age... I used to have the best hair and have really done nothing differently and have just seen the shine sucked out of it. I switch shampoos and conditioners from time to time and you could try a clarifying shampoo too. Some of your problem could be buildup. I color my hair so I don't do it often now, but I used to do a vinegar rinse from time to time (I forget the water/vinegar proportions but I'm sure you could look it up)... It would really softened my hair up. I think the vinegar rinse really is just a clarifying rinse thing and it can strip hair if you do it too much so be careful, but it really does seem to soften it up.

sjhockeyfan325, I've never used the waffle weave version, so I can't compare the Lisse Luxe to those. When I got my current towels, I couldn't find the original version in white, just pink or green (in BB&B, where I had been buying them, or even elsewhere online). I called Aquis, and they were just coming out with the new Lisse Luxe, and I was sent a sample. It did seem like it was softer and smoother than the original fabric (from what I remembered--my Aquis towels weren't in the best of shape at that point, and definitely needed to be replaced).

Start by drinking more water and making sure your living quarters have the right moisture level. Try to use warm but not hot water when shampooing. The hot water dries out the pores. Tegrin is very good for both dandruff and dryness. Work on the dandruff first, eliminate that and then you can use a good moisturizing shampoo and conditioner after the dandruff is settled. Make sure your hair is completely rinsed thoroughly. Any residue makes it worse.

There are many products which are available for dandruff. I would suggest to use minoxidil 15 for better health of hair and it also help to reduce dandruff and keep your hair stylish.

I have a scalp problem instead of a hair problem. My dermatologist prescribed cloebetasol lotion. That is the only thing that helped. I have used it for a couple of years now and it doesn't help anymore. It now causes the same problems I want to control. I think that is called "rebounding". I believe my scalp problem is due to a side effect of unknowingly taking a PPI for 4 months. Sometimes side effect from meds do not go away when you quit taking them.
