   What kind of dandruff you have will determine the way it needs to be treated, if it’s flakey white dry dandruff then it’s just dry scalp, if it’s more yellow or grey bits then it’s fungal, in which case you’d want something anti fungal like tea tree oil.
   First thing I’d suggest though is forget the anti-dandruff shampoos anyway, they don’t cure dandruff, they contain cytostatic chemicals like zinc pyrithione to reduce scalp cell growth, and keratolytic chemicals like salicylic acid to loosen outer layers of skin on scalp reducing dead cell build-up. These chemicals and common shampoo ingredients like sodium lauryl sulfate are irritants that can actually cause dandruff. You can get shampoos without irritants, try different brands to rule out ingredients you may be sensitive to or go for more natural brands, better still try going without shampoo.
   Going shampoo-free will stop dandruff, also giving healthier hair and scalp, this is because shampoos strip natural oils damaging hair and causing scalp to produce more oil making hair greasy and agrivating dandruff (yes, ditching shampoo would stop dandruff and it won’t ever get greasy!). To go shampoo-free use a tablespoon of baking soda in a cup of water, apply to roots and leave to sit for a minute to stimulate blood flow, clean pores and get off grime. Once a week also rinse with a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to a cup of water, let sit for a minute and rinse, this promotes circulation, regulates skin pH, is antiseptic and an exfolient so does the job of ingredients in anti-dandruff shampoos. Or you can try the conditioner-only or curly girl method which is just using conditioner which contain mild surfactants that are enough to wash the scalp and without drying it out or irritating your scalp, your hair and scalp will be a million times better for it – I use conditioner-only, it’s easy to use than the standard shampoo-free method and you get better results faster. http://babyslime.livejournal.com/174054.… http://www.wikihow.com/Follow-the-Curly-…
   If you don’t want to go shampoo-free try using the apple cider vinegar as a rinse after washing to get it’s benefits, or try a dandruff rinse by mixing half a cup of apple cider vinegar, half a cup of chopped mint leaves and one cup of boiling water, cool and strain before using it as a rinse. If you have an oily scalp try mixing together 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar or lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of distilled water and 2 tablespoons olive oil, massage into your scalp and leave for 20 minutes before shampooing. If you have a dry scalp mix together 2 tablespoons jojoba oil and quarter a teaspoon of tea tree oil, massage into wet hair leaving for 10 minutes before shampooing. Herbs and essential oils are another option to try, get chamomile, elderflower, nettle or sage herbal tea bags, make your tea, cool and use it as a rinse. Essential oils to use are cedarwood, patchouli, rosemary , sage, thyme or tea tree, just add a few drops to some water and rinse your hair, or massage a few drops into yur scalp before shampooing.

   Boil 2 tablespoons of dried thyme in a cup of water. Let it cool and then strain it, and pour it on your scalp. Don’t rinse it out to soon let it work. I didn’t try it but my mom’s friend did it worked fine.
