Natural Treatment for Healthy Hair and Scalp

Your dandruff problem is probably related to your hair problem. The basic issue seems to be that your scalp is dry, which is resulting in the hair being rough and brittle as well as the dandruff, which is basically dead skin cells. One reason why dandruff occurs is insufficient oil, either because the skin on the scalp is not producing enough oil to begin with or because something else, probably the hair products you use, is depleting the oil that is produced.

Start to oil your hair regularly, making sure to massage the oil into the scalp when you do so. Leave the oil on your head overnight, or at least for an hour. Find a shampoo for dry hair, but wash your hair regularly, leaving the shampoo on your scalp for a few minutes. This will get rid of the dry skin that has accumulated, thus preventing it from flaking off later. If this does not help within a month, try decreasing the frequency with which you shampoo your hair. For one month, shampoo no more than twice a week. There are also several anti-dandruff shampoos that you can use — each has different chemicals that may or many not be the ones you need for your problem, so it may take some trial and error before you find the right one. This should however solve both your problems.
