3:33 here i just save u time

Sometimes I just want to shave my head and get rid of dandruff

I can't stand people telling me i have some white things in my hair!!! I know that already so shut up!!!

I’m scratching my head while watching this. Only me?

I've tried using dandruff shampoo and it gave me more dandruff...

I suffered with bad dandruff for years. I tried everything. Then I tried tea tree oil. 10-15 drops in warm water. I wash my hair every 3-4 days. Ordinary reg shampoo. Rinse off then a final rinse with about 250mls with the tea tree oil. Immediate relief from itching, no more flakes. I really suffered with this condition to the point I stopped wearing black clothes. I wear black now with total confidence. No more white flakes

When I take a shower it’s gone then the next day it’s there!!!!!!

a lot of people ask me “do you have lice?!” and i have to say “no it’s dandruff 😑”

I feel so bad when I go to get my hair cut cause it literally snows

Dandruff makes me want to skip social events and I hate it when people talk to me because they only stare at my dandruff. You think you have it hidden, but other people still see😞

It has to do something with your sleep and stress levels, I’m totally convinced about that.

It's hard to wash your hair more often when you have long curly hair that tends to get dry with dandruff shampoo....

For those saying there are no answers in this video. There are clearly answers, you’re just not listening. Dr Sandra Lee’s recommendations: She said dandruff (seborrheic dermatitis) is caused by fungal infection so look for shampoos with ketoconazole, zinc pyrithione or selenium sulfide etc. in them.

I switched from anti dandruff shampoos to a tea tree oil and the dandruff went away. I also use a good conditioner.

And here, my family was yelling at me that I wasn't taking care of myself.

Guys, try apple cider vinegar. I do an apple cider vinegar soak at the roots of my hair and let it sit for awhile. Then I wash out the vinegar with shampoo. It REALLY helps!

I realised that if I wash my hair too often I can get dandruff as well. So what I think is to wash your hair just in the middle required. I've figured out that for myself I have to wash them every two days, not more not less, and REGULARLY. Keep doing it. Because when I miss the cycle, I always get dandruff (especially when it's hot, I live in a tropical area, so it plays a lot in it)! So that's one idea of how I've got rid of them almost entirely (there's almost nothing now, unless I break the cycle of washing every 2 days) and my hair stay in good shape as well! PS: If you have lots of dandruff at the beginning, and you try my idea, do not tie your hair in any way! When your skin is almost cleared, you can start to tie you hair but not much. Let your hair and especially the skin of head, breathe. Otherwise if you tie your hair it will be more favorable for the dandruff to "live" because the area will have a higher temperature+less air. PPS: This all based on my experience and people around me. Maybe it will not work for people living in areas if big temperature differences? But maybe you can still try.

Using shampoo with tea tree oil is actually helping and cold showers, although the cold showers suck 🥶

People keep making fun of me b/c of the dandruff in my hair. I didn’t know what it was so that’s why I came here. Thank you.

Guys! Use this; Spray bottle- half apple cider vinegar and half water, spray on scalp- leave in for 20-30mins, rinse then wash as normal!😊👍 natural and cheap, and it frigin works guys i swear lol

i looooove this channel so glad youre doing this! Great addition to tour Pimple popping one

SO YOU'RE TELLING ME THE FLARE UPS ON MY NOSE SIDES HAVE BEEN DANDRUFF THIS WHOLE TIME OGM

Thank you Dr Lee for this information. I really enjoy your channel and I have learned a lot of things from you. Last week I had to do a skin biopsy, I used a small punch and I knew how to do it because I've seen you do it so many times. I had only learned it in theory. Thank you again.

Loads of great information and advice! Thanks for posting

Thank you for sharing and explaining this so well!! 👍🏻👍🏻

I’m black I don’t want to wash my hair 100 times a week 🥺😭

This was SOOOO helpful. Thank you Sandra. You're a DOLL 🤩!!

I've always suffered with dandruff since I was small & still do to this day. What I notice that brings it back is using new products & what I've noticed that helped is tea tree oil, & coconut oil. Anything moisturizing. I was my hair with head & shoulders & it keeps it at ease

Please do a video about the treatment for psoriasis! Over the counter medications or anything that can help! Thank you!! Love your videos!!

I've always had this. My most vivid memory is having scaly ears when i was 6 that would start bleeding immediately when I picked at them.

Would like more videos on hair Care, hair loss, and treatments thanks ❤️👍

I'm in love with Dr Lee she is a true beauty! Thanks for all the tips and info.

I’m surprised she’s not recommending two shots of vodka... oh wait wrong Sandra lee!

I'm scared to wash my hair every day because I notice there'll be more hair falling out.

Thank you doctor Lee for good medical advice about this segment.

Thank you, Dr.Sandra for sharing your knowledge. We really appreciate it

I have dermatitis on my eyelids, groin, ear canal, and back of my ear/earlob. I did a patch test and my dermatologist believes it's contact dermatitis caused by fragrance. However it's greasy scaling and seems like it could be SB. The dermatitis seems to be responding well to anti-fungals especially Nystatin. If the dermatitis responds well to Nystatin can I assume that it is not contact dermatitis and not because of fragrances i.e. its seborrheic dermatitis?

Thank you Doctor... i hardly have any dandruff but my scalp is very itchy ams I have a lot of hairfall.. please advise.. thankyou

I was diagnosed with seborrheic dermatitis very helpful information thanks!

Dr Lee, This is some excellent info! I think most of us on You Tube actually know more about cyst removal, than dandruff! lol ! ...You are an extremely good teacher! Thanks again. I'm always learning new things here!!!

I started exfoliating my scalp (once a week) I just mix Epsom salt with my shampoo to make a paste and make sure to gently scrub my scalp with it I never really use shampoo on my hair itself just the scalp, but this was the only thing that helps me manage and keep it under control (and it makes my hair softer)

Guys, here is another tip, if you don't want to use all these chemicals in shampoos and other products, go natural. Wash your hair with water and lemon, so take a glass of water, add half or full slice of lemon juice in it, and massage that water into your scalp. Let it stay there for 10 minutes. Then go take a bath or shower, and wash your hair with cold water, to make sure the lemon is off your scalp. Do this every day, or three times a week, or however times you can manage. But in short amount of time after couple days of doing this, you will notice your dandruff going away. Lemon exfoliates your skin, kills any bacteria or fungus on your scalp, and removes all oil and residue in your hair and scalp. That is why it works. And once you notice no more dandruff, you can either stop this, or continue to apply this treatment once a week to keep your scalp and hair healthier.

Thank you for the great information, Dr Lee!

I was so scared when I realized I had a lice check before I went to a multi person camp, I found myself crying and picking through my head. I found a few white specks, worrying they were nits, but when I scratched my head I found flakes upon flakes. I texted my best friend and cried to her on the phone. She told me to watch this video and so I did. Thank you, you saved my hair!!

I never had dandruff until last year. I noticed it about 5 months into being pregnant with my daughter. I'm convinced my hormone change contributed to developing this gross and annoying stuff!

Goes to hospital "hey uhh i need steroids" "why do you need them?" "Ummm i have dandruff"

Thank you! Very helpful and informative :D

Please do a video about psoriasis!

Anti-inflammatory smoothies and natural hair products helped me.

maybe I'm getting cynical in my old age but can't help thinking its not in the pharmaceutical industry's to cure dandruff and other chronic ailments, far more profit in something that needs ongoing treatment.

The Dr. knows what she’s talking about 👍🏾 I also recommend to people to divide the hair into (4 sections) and section by section part the hair and use STRIDEX PADS ( buy at Walmart) to Gently exfoliate and cleanse the scalp... You’ll be AMAZED!! I’ve other tips that vary case by case but this Dr. is telling you the facts. Good Luck 😘

Very educational. I thought dandruff and Seborrheic Dermatitis were two different conditions. I don't know what I have exactly because the flakes aren't very dry like described. I would like to wash my hair every other day because it's better for the actual hair strand health/dryness/frizziness, and it just wastes more water but I really have to wash mine everyday to keep my scalp less oily. I like using T/Sal with salicylic acid mixed with a sulfate free shampoo, and let it soak for awhile in the shower. Head and Shoulders and those other shampoos don't do much for me. Every once in awhile I mix tea tree, peppermint and jojoba oil into a pre-shower scalp treatment for instant itchy skin relief. The longer you leave it on the better. There's no cure like she said, but this is making it more manageable..

finally a dermatologist confirming I should wash as much as I need. I only recently found out I don't have dandruff but actually scalp eczema and have had it for 6+ years which caused my scalp to have pimples, scabs, a LOT of scabs actually and it was constantly BURNING. So it wasn't just dandruff, scalp eczema has dandruff as a possible side effect, but is not the same as dandruff, I just thought burning scalps were part of dandruff for years so that was NOT fun. The assistant doctor told me to shampoo LESS, only once a week! because I said my scalp has become way oilier since my scalp irritation started because washing it helped it calmed down so I slowly had to wash more which makes my hair get oily fast, but washing once a week never worked and made the burning worse, so now I wash whenever I notice my hair or scalp needs it, the medical shampoo I got also didn't work and at first was too weak and then started irritating my scalp aswell, so luckily I found a soothing DIY hair mask from flaxseed gel that I would apply focusing on my scalp area, and it got rid of most of my scabs :) It's still not 100% gone, but I might try to use coal tar once in a while to get a nice cleanse in there, as the flaxseed just helps with scabs and soothing, not really with the dirt. Atleast now I know that shampooing when needed is not dumb and my reaction was correct! :D

Thank you for this! My daughter is in her early teens and has all this flaky stuff on her scalp. She also has psoriasis (from Grandma) and Keratosis Pilaris (from me). Not to mention very fair Irish skin. It really gets her down, all the ointments and special products she has to use. But I learned a lot here, so at least we understand that it's not the Hair that causes this, but the scalp. Please, please....can you do a video on Keratosis Pilaris? We both have it chronically, moderate to severe, although it does improve a bit in the summer. What kind of home remedies, OTC products, and prescription ointments would help us? Thank you for sharing your knowledge with all of us!

I have had it for years now and nothing seems to help. I've used many different anti-dandruff shampoos, that just won't work for me. What should be my next step?

This was like a proper consultation! Thank you so much :)

Dr. Lee you didn’t mention this, but certain medications can “cause” you to have dandruff. If you didn’t have it, and you had a change in the medications that you take (or in the dosage levels), I would talk to your doctor about it.

Dr. Lee, could you do a video on hair loss for women. Like what could cause it, ways to help prevent it... Hope you see this. Love you videos! Have a great day! 😁

Great vid!

I was worried about using dandruff shampoo because it dries hair. I'm glad to hear you can focus on your scalp and use regular shampoo on your hair.

Ketoconazole Shampoo is what has worked best for me!

I had horrible flakes but I used Selsun Blue and it was almost gone. So, I used it a second time. It's completely gone now. It even works for the face.

Thanks a lot dr. Lee! I've been suffer for years because of seborrheic dermatitis, in my face Now I know how to treat it

GREAT TIPS SANDRA LEE !!!

You should do one on psoriasis it's something I have had to deal with for years

Thank you so much for the video! My hubby has been dealing with dandruff for years. Most if the time it is controlled with over the counter shampoos. One tip we learned is that do not use a regular conditioner after your dandruff shampoo. It sort of cancels out the treatment. We saw this on an article somewhere and it really helped.

Do you know any natural treatments to shrink pilar cysts? I have pilar cysts on my scalp, they don't hurt but I don't want to remove them. I have very long hair and I'm afraid to have them completely removed.

this halping me so much !!! thank you DR. Sandra

I used to not even have a single flake of dandruff in my hair but after I dyed it I stared having crazy amounts of dandruff

I always thought that having thicker hair was a culprit too. My sister has thin hair, never has dandruff and I have super thick hair and have ALWAY struggled with mild dandruff.

Could Exiema have an effect of dry scalp or like symptoms of dandruff?

DR. SANTRA you are amazing! clarifying this topics help us to also don't get fooled by "sneak oil" sellers in the market! Thank you

What do you think about neutrogena Tgel for dandruff! Are the ingredients in this shampoo likely to work for a regular person with a flaky/itchy scalp.

QUESTION: I sometimes get a VERY oily spot on the front patch of my hair. It's very wax like. The rest of my hair is fine. What is this and how can I treat it?

I had dandruff when I was a teenager, but then I started bleaching/coloring my hair. Ever since I did that my dandruff went away and never came back. Do you think there was something in the hair color that got rid of my dandruff? Maybe the high volume peroxide? Or something else? Just curious.

Thanks for the information. Love your program.

I want a cureeeeee!!!!!!!

My husband has a fairly large amount of patches of dandruff in his beard/head hair. He has seen a dermatologist and that's what he was told ( he also has eczema but he was told what's on his head and under his beard is not eczema). But, we usually shy away from prescriptions unless they are a last option, we believe that trying to solve the problem naturally first is healthier for our bodies in the long run (unless the ailment is a matter of life and death). Are there any natural alternatives that you can recommend before using prescription shampoos or topical steriods? My husband uses a topical steriod lotion for his eczema, but only when it get bad enough that our natural remedies don't work. Any advice would be highly appreciated. Also, could you try mentioning natural alternatives along side of conventional bio-med answers? I know a lot of people really do respect doctors, but wish they would suggest natural pathways of healing before going straight to prescriptions. Side note: we do use Melleluca and Lavender essential oils and those seem to help, but only sometimes.

Thank you this was very informative!

My question is... Do I use the medicine on my scalp first? Or wash my hair with my shampoo? I’ve been doing the medicine first.. & then shampoo. But I just thought about it. I should probably do it the other day right ?

I had extreme dandruff for years. It was so embarrassing to go to the hair salon for hair cuts. I tried every over the counter dandruff shampoo. My stylist even recommended shampoos from the salon. Nothing worked and some even made it worse. I finally tried Head and Shoulders Clinical Strength for severe dandruff. IT WORKS!!! I've been using it over a year now and still no flakes.

Hot oil treatments helped me a lot with my dandruff and itchy scalp.

Hi!!! I tried a shampoo with Zinc and whenever I used it, my skin was super irritated and I had a "burning" sensation. Why does this happen? Am I allergic to it? Will the other products you suggested cause the same "burning" sensation?

My hair has been smoothened but I also suffer from dandruff. I was recommended a particular shampoo to maintain my hair. Does using an anti-dandruff shampoo ruin my smoothened hair in any way?

I have dandruff in my eyebrows , and my eyebrows falling , so sad😫

I use to have it in my eyebrows when I was younger.

I had dry itchy scalp that drove me crazy. Had this for several years. One day I noticed a rash on my feet. My feet were itchy and made me miserable. I went to several doctors and even had the skin pricks to test for allergies. Finally saw a dermatologist and was dx with a fungus. He prescribed Nizoral oral medication for ? days. It worked! No more itchy feet and although I didn't ask him about my dandruff it disappeared, too.

Thank you so much for this information your video was very helpful

I would love a video on psoriasis! I have psoriasis on my scalp and only clobetesal has worked so far. I'd like other options :)

I have dandruff on my scalp, in my eyebrows and around my nose. Recently I was going through chemo and all of my dandruff when away. Was the only nice thing about it :/

I really suffered for 8 months. Raised red ridges itchy itchy, then flat scaly patches. T GEL maximum strength. I let it sit 5 min. Just used 2x and saw major difference. Head and shoulders with almond oil every other day. Clear as a bell. So relieved

I had/have dandruff.. I shaved my head, now I have a splotchy red rash over my scalp.. What can I do to get rid of the redness?? I read on another page that using a cream containing "hydrocortisone" is good to use.. Is this right?? What about aloe vera??

The body shop ginger shampoo helps in my dandruff. It’s doesn’t completely finish it but it does a lot of the work.

I washed my hair 7 times a week so yah I wash it everyday but I still have dandruff.

thank you. this was really helpful !

very educational, thanks!

Mix 50/50 parts water and apple cider vinegar! Rinse and exfoliate scalp. And rinse. You could also try adding baking soda to shampoo. Problem solved!!!!

The only dandruff shampoo that works for me is the one with ketoconazol. I was truly surprised by it's effect within a week. No more itching and flaking. Now I can go a week without washing my hair and still no flakes, even though by that time my hair would be oily and dirty. The lesson I learned was that dandruff is caused by fungal infection of the scalp. So use a shampoo that has an active ingredient that kills the fungal growth.

this is so helpful!

I started getting them in my late 20s. Never had the issue until I was around 24.
