One of our dear readers wrote in to ask for advice about dandruff, a little discussed but common ailment. For some people it's a minor irritation, a few embarrassing dry flakes. To those who suffer more severely, with oily scalps and painful itching, it's a frustrating affliction.The best first step is always education. Cool Nurse has a great primer on the different kinds of dandruff and causes, as well as some treatment suggestions.
Choices have expanded wildly from even a few years ago with as many kinds of shampoo options as hair, and seemingly more coming out every day.
Our advice is to try a few different brands until you find one that works for you. If you have trouble finding one that works, make an appointment with a dermatologist and get a professional opinion. And if you have color treated hair, we implore you to spend a little more for a product designed specifically for you. Check out the gallery for some ideas.

And ask about allergies! Sometimes the dry skin (on your scalp) is caused by a common reaction to Sodium Laurel Sulfite.
