You might hear friends or family saying ‘gross’ when they see the white flakes on your clothes or in your hair. This makes me self-conscious and always sets me back a little. But there is 1 really important thing to remember in your quest to get rid of dandruff.

Dandruff Is Not a Result of Uncleanliness
Although it’s true that the flakes can look gross or that they can make us self-conscious. Washing your hair and scalp more in an effort to get rid of dandruff can actually in some cases make it worse. Dandruff is thought to be caused by a limited number of things.
If you wash or irritate your scalp you will often cause yourself more grief as your dandruff will increase due to this activity. The best thing you can do is work toward treatment and understanding if it is a loved one that suffers from dandruff.
When I tell you have taken multiple showers and baths in a day wand washed with the most extreme things you can find in the house. Trust me when I say it won’t work! Your best bet is to learn about your type of dandruff and start effective treatment as soon as possible.
