hi,

 

 

I know pyrithione zinc, selenium sulfide, coal tar, tea tree oil, ketaconzale are all used in shampoo to treat dandruff... but

 

For a minor yet nagging case what are the best vitamins/supplements to treat the problem? My first guess is zinc because of its use in shampoo. Perhaps magnesium?

 

Or are there other vitamins/supplements that maintain optimal, natural hair oil?

Zinc dermal application as in shampoo is hardly the same as consuming it as a vitamin, though

 

Anyway, interesting topic since I don't tolerate nearly any shampoo, get dandruff super easily... I hate my scalp skin.

Supplementing taurine may exacerbate dandruff, therefore if you do suffer dandruff and supplement taurine (or drink beverages containing it) try to get off it for a while.

 

Use herbal powder shampoo or clay like ghassoul (actually any clay is likely to work pretty well) since commercial shampoo are way to harsh.

 

Once you feel comfortable with the absence of foam you'll find those ways of washing hairs much more pleasurable and healthy.

 

Don't wash your hairs more than once a week, rastas never wash their hairs and studies showed no issues whatsoever, ours are often obsessions causing more harm than good.

 

Consider applying oil after washing (coconut, red palm, emu, castor or a mix of them).
