I have had dandruff issues from the childhood. When I was a kid I used to shave my head to get rid of it. But now since I am working I cannot shave my head. I was never able to get rid of dandruff. I tried all medical and natural remedies. Now from last few years I have been loosing hair. I used to have thick hair but now I have thin hair. I have been loosing hair at a really alarming pace. My scalp is really dry. Please help me out if you can.

For real obstinate cases of dandruff where regular anti-dandruff shampoos don?t work, include zinc and essential fatty acids which guard against dandruff and a dry scalp. Foods such as whole wheat, oats, pumpkin seeds, peanuts, cashews, soybean and vegetable oils are good sources of zinc and essential fatty acids."
