Helpful Tips
Do not overwash your hair so as not to damage the scalp cells, as well as do not space between periods so that the dandruff layer does not form. It is preferable to shower with a hair wash twice a week in the winter.
Stay away from cosmetics that contain synthetic oils in general because they contain a great deal of fat that builds up on the skin and causes dandruff.
When washing your hair, take care to rub the scalp with your fingers to make sure you get rid of dandruff.
