You also need to take care of your diet to deal with dandruff effectively. At least 50 percent of your diet should be raw food. Cut down on intake of fried food, sugar, nuts, chocolate and other dairy products. Add fish oil, primrose oil or flaxseed oil to your diet. Your diet should also include vitamin B complex, vitamin E, selenium and zinc supplements. However, make sure that you do not exceed 100mg of zinc a day. Take vitamin C, bioflavonoid complex, lecithin granules or capsules for positive result.

Some people suffer from dandruff for a prolonged time and it becomes a hard-to-cure problem. They should consult a skin specialist for treatment.

It is better to avoid washing hair regularly unless scalp is oily. While washing, use a conditioner containing proteins and humectants, including glycerin, quaternium-22 and panthenol. Apply conditioner to ends only if your scalp is oily. Do not rub your hair vigorously, while drying it. Just squeeze out excess water gently with a towel. Comb it gently, as hair remains weakest when it is wet.

Health of your hair also depends on your food habits. It is good for hair if you take vitamins and drink a lot of water. Oily vitamins such as vitamin E, omegas and primrose oil help develop moisture in hair. The B vitamins are water-soluble and they can help you maintain health of your hair. Avoid stress, as it can make your hair dry and even cause falling.

You can take care of your dry hair by using certain products. However, they cannot permanently repair damaged hair. The only way is to wait for new hair to grow out and take proper care of them.
