Dandruff is a very common problem and many people all over the world are troubled by this problem, irrespective of age or gender. While there are many causes for dandruff, the main cause for this problem increasing among people is unhealthy lifestyle, stress and the pollution. If you too are suffering from dandruff, there are 3 best ways that you need to follow to get permanent cure. First thing that you must do, is stop worrying since it would only aggravate the problem further?

Step 1: Your very first step would be to consult a dermatologist to find out the reason behind the occurrence of dandruff in your scalp as well as to find out the kind of dandruff you have.

Dandruff is of two types:

1. Oily Dandruff

2. Dry Dandruff.

3. Oily Dandruff tends to stick to your scalp

4. Dry Dandruff that is much like powdery flakes.

Most Anti-Dandruff shampoos available in the market just wash the dandruff away instead of treating it from the roots. Hence consulting a dermatologist is absolutely very much necessary.

Step 2

1. Your next step would be to keep your scalp squeaky clean and that too with the help of proper products.

2. Your doctor would be able to prescribe the treatments and or products that would be suitable for your hair type and for your scalp, depending on the kind of dandruff you have and the cause of the dandruff.

3. If just dry scalp can be treated easily but if the cause is fungal infection, you need to be careful.

4. Make sure to better undergo the treatment or use only those products that are prescribed to you as per the instructions of your doctor.

At last it is all for your own benefit!

Step 3

1. Your doctor can help you to get rid of your dandruff problem but to keep the problem at bay forever, make sure you maintain a healthy lifestyle.

2. Diet is very important for a healthy scalp and a healthy scalp would be able to defend against dandruff recurrence.

3. Daily exercise would also be good, since the sweat would ensure that the pores of your hair are cleaned and unclogged.

4. Drink lot of water and avoid using cosmetic products on your hair as much as possible.

Following the above steps religiously would surely ensure that you get relief from your problem of dandruff easily and forever as well.
