Dandruff

[aisma]

I have really bad dandruff, i keep my hair well olied as i can't manage it when it is dry. After every wash i oil it and when i part my hair its bloody there. i heard that tea tree shampoo is good. is this true? is there anything natural i can use(no anti-dandruff shampoos)

There is a very good one that I bought from Holland and Barratt (I think!) called Tea Tree Oil Hair and Scalp Therapy Shampoo. Not cheap but the bottle is huge - 500ml.

It's an all natural product and made by Jason natural products.

I suffered from bad dandruff, until now, when I use any shampoo with Zinc in.

I think most anti dandruff shampoos have zinc in them, its the common "cure " for the problem. Tea tree oil is good for dandruff, (and aslo dabbed neat on spots) T-Gel shampoo, available in Boots), which contains coal tar is also very effective, and actually leaves your hair feeling good too!

The best shampoo is Nizoral, you can buy it at Boots but it is cheaper if you get a prescription form your doctor.

In answer to Kevin Lowe, most dandruff shampoos do not have zinc in them. I only know of a few that contain Zinc!

I had dandruff for years tried all the various anti dandruff shampoos then a Dr. recommended a shampoo called Selsun. It really works (sorry if I sound like a commercial). It is available without prescription from chemists.
