How To Stop Dandruff From Coming Back

In this article you will learn that there is no cure for dandruff, making continuous use of anti-dandruff shampoo essential to prevent its recurrence. People often revert to cosmetic shampoos after symptoms improve, but dandruff requires regular treatment to maintain a flake-free scalp. To prevent dandruff from returning, choose an effective anti-dandruff shampoo and use it consistently. Additionally, using an anti-dandruff conditioner helps maintain the protective ingredients on the scalp.

There is no cure for dandruff, so if you stop using your anti-dandruff shampoo then it’s likely your dandruff will come back.

Often, people use an anti-dandruff shampoo to treat the symptoms and, once they see an improvement they go back to their cosmetic shampoo again.

But dandruff is a recurring condition, so you need to treat the symptoms regularly if you want to stay flake-free.

To prevent dandruff coming back, here's what to do:

  1. Choose an anti-dandruff shampoo - and make sure it's one that works too. The unique formulas of Head & Shoulders shampoo contain active ingredients that tackle the root cause of dandruff.

  2. Wash your hair regularly – for the best results, use your anti-dandruff shampoo every time you wash your hair rather than switching between that and a beauty shampoo. Head & Shoulders uses some of the best ingredients from cosmetic shampoos so you'll still get great-looking hair.

  3. Don't forget the conditioner - many people forget to use an anti-dandruff conditioner too. These have been designed to complement anti-dandruff shampoos and lock in the dandruff-fighting power – other conditioners may wash away and reduce the amount of scalp protecting ingredients on your skin, leaving you less protected from dandruff triggers.
