How can you get rid of dandruff? Any instant methods or one week home remedies?

Try washing your hair everyday like normal people

Get some shampoo just for dandruff. Wet your hair, apply, work to a lather and scrub the scalp gently with your finger tips. This step is important because it helps loosen the flakes so the shampoo can wash them away. Then let the shampoo sit on your hair for a couple minutes while you wash the rest of you in the shower. Rinse, rinse and rinse some more. Until you get it under control, you might need to shampoo every day. If you're hair is oily, every day is not a bad thing. Stay away from conditioners, they add to the problem. Also don't use a lot of styling products, they really add to the problem. There is always the old standby by of Head and Shoulders shampoo in a variety of formulas and Neutogena T-Gel is another good one. Read and follow the directions. If this doesn't work, consult your doctor about it. It might not be dandruff but a different scalp problem and might require a prescription product to clear it up.

I had some very serious dandruff as well, all I did was change to a neutral shampoo with dandruff removal properties. I still have dandruff (I don't think you can magically get rid of them) but they only show up when I don't wash my hair properly. Head & Shoulders has a good alternative if you can't find any neutral shampoos. If I use the wrong shampoos I often get more dandruff and sometimes even acne on my scalp, which hurts like hell. Good luck. (Also as some people state above, simply washing your hair doesn't change anything, I wash everyday very thoroughly and if I don't use the correct shampoo it literally returns within hours)

well i use head and shoulders.. And um if you have dry, oily, curly hair you wash your hair with SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER every 2-3 days and if you have straight, normal hair you wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner every day..
