How do I get rid of a dry scalp?

How do I get rid of dry scalp type dandruff?

• I have very nice curly red hair but I also have dry scalp type dandruff, I like to give my hair about 4 days to lock up really nice before I wash it because it looks really good when I do. But when I do it gets rather flaky and it's embarrassing. I use head and shoulders for dry scalp and it works great but only if I use it everyday (I hate to wash everyday, it's not good for your hair and it makes mine all poofy). It's pretty long and I want to get some nice dreadlocks (I have had them in the past when I didn't have dandruff issues) and there is a 2 week no washing period so I need to fix the problem before I start them. Are there any suggestions to how I can fix this? I have no medical insurance, I'm 20, and working for the man so seeing a dermatologist is not an option, if there are any oral supplements/natural remedies that would be best. Let me know if you know of anything that would help me, thanks!
