How to stop dandruff? Get rid of dandruff fast

There is no cure for dandruff, so if you stop using your anti-dandruff shampoo then it’s likely your dandruff will come back.

Often, people use an anti-dandruff shampoo to treat the symptoms and, once they see an improvement they go back to their non anti-dandruff shampoo again.

But dandruff is a recurring condition, so you need to treat the symptoms regularly if you want to stay flake-free.

To prevent dandruff coming back, here's what to do:

1. Choose an anti-dandruff shampoo - and make sure it's one that works too. The unique formulas of Head & Shoulders shampoo contain active ingredients that tackle the root cause of dandruff.

2. Wash your hair regularly – for the best results, use your anti-dandruff shampoo every time you wash your hair rather than switching between that and a non anti-dandruff shampoo. Head & Shoulders uses some of the best ingredients from non anti-dandruff shampoos so you'll still get great-looking hair.

3. Don't forget the conditioner - many people forget to use an anti-dandruff conditioner too. These have been designed to complement anti-dandruff shampoos and lock in the dandruff-fighting power – other conditioners may wash away and reduce the amount of scalp protecting ingredients on your skin, leaving you less protected from dandruff triggers.

There’s no cure for dandruff, but it’s still possible to stay flake-free for life

Dandruff is what dermatologists call a 'recurring condition' so unless you treat it regularly, your symptoms will probably return.

That’s because the 3 factors that cause dandruff - naturally occurring microbe, Malassesia globosa, scalp oils, and a scalp that’s sensitive to the microbe - are nearly always present.

Fortunately, getting rid of dandruff and helping prevent it in the future, is easy with Head & Shoulders.

The active ingredients in Head & Shoulders’ anti-dandruff shampoos work not only to remove flakes, but also provides an invisible, protective barrier to keep your scalp healthy.

Every time you wash your hair with Head & Shoulders you’re reinforcing your protection and helping keep flakes at bay.

So don’t just reach for Head & Shoulders when your dandruff flares up, but make sure you use it as part of your daily routine to manage your dandruff and stay flake free for life.

Once you’ve chosen the right anti-dandruff shampoo, you need to make sure you use it properly.
