Although there is no overnight cure to dandruff there are several ways that can accelerate the process.
Here are some tips on how to get rid of dandruff fast;
1. Since having dandruff means having a dry flaky scalp, the first thing you should do is moisturize your scalp with a hair oil or tea tree oil. Leave this on for a minimum of half an hour and then follow with a anti-dandruff shampoo.
An even better strategy is to leave the hair oil on overnight at least once a week.
2. Avoid eating sugar as this can be one of the causes of your dandruff. Do take a daily vitamin B complex insteadvitamin b. It will alleviate the dry scalp.
3. Get some daily supplements of zinc or omega 3 fatty acids, this will also really help the dry scalp and your skin in general.
4. Change your regular shampoo immediately to an anti-dandruff shampoo or home remedy. Make sure you use gentle, circular motions when lathering the shampoo. Scratching the scalp will only make the flaking worse.
5. Be sure to rinse your shampoo thoroughly, residue build up can be a cause of dandruff, so rinsing well and with cool water rather than hot water is an important step in the treating and prevention of dandruff.
6. Don’t blow dry your hair, or at least try to avoid blow drying the roots, as this will only make the skin more dry and flaky.
7. Make sure there is enough moisture in the atmosphere around you, this might mean using a humidifier in your home.
8. Watch your diet. Avoid too much alcohol, fried, spicy, fast food.
