Washing your hair daily will minimize or sometimes eradicate dandruff. Mild cases can be treated with daily shampooing using an anti-dandruff shampoo and severe dandruff can be controlled by medicated shampoos prescribed by a physician.
Hormones. It is the male hormone that is responsible for dandruff as it is concluded by researchers, which explains why men are more prone to dandruff.
