My poor baby-she's 5 with coal black hair and has DANDRUFF! She is complaining about her scalp itching and scratches it constantly. I need to know if there is any type of shampoo that is the best along with something that will get rid of the flakes. Do I comb it out like you would lice? Anything would be helpful, I would like to do it tonight.
OMG! It's not Dandruff-LICE I did a little research this morning and called the school nurse. She pulled both girls out of class for me and confirmed it. Oh I feel like such an idiot. I had no idea what lice looked like-do now! Thanks for your help
In addition to Neutragena T-Gel or Selson Blue Medicated shampoo, you need to use a conditioner for dandruff also. I read that if you use regular conditioner after using dandruff shampoo that it washes out the medication from the shampoo. I've used Head & Shoulders conditioner, and it leaves my hair even softer than most regular conditioners. HTH!!
My daughter started getting dandruff around age 4. We have to use dandruff shampoo every time she showers or it comes back. We've used Head & Shoulders & store brands. We're currently using Herbal Essence's dandruff control shampoo, which smells really nice. All have worked just fine. We do use a conditioner, but not a dandruff control one.
i would try selsun blue medicated, but also i would use a very good deep conditioner, because if she is scratching & has flakes it is dry scalp & needs to be moisturized.
maybe try an alternative shampoo without bad chemicals.
Shikai Hair Care or Aveda are a couple
Are you sure it is dandruff or just really dry scalp? I thought my daughter had it, but when I took her to the doctor they said it was just dry scalp. I started using conditioner on her and it has gone away.
