One very helpful thing: no matter what shampoo you use, always rinse very well. VERY WELL. Soap and/or detergent residue can irritate the skin. Also, make sure you don't let hair stay damp too long, especially the nape of the neck where longer hair might sit on top and keep moisture there. Tie hair back and up when exercising and sweating, that's moisture, too. Good luck, everyone!
The time I experienced hairfall, I did all the following to successfully reduce it - .. Make a habit of doing massage for your scalp into your routine. .. Do not use very hot water when washing your hair. .. Shield your hair from excessive sweat. .. Use a dual tooth neem wood comb to brush out wet hair. .. Cut down on your sugar and processed food consumption. .. Use gentle hairfall control shampoo and hair oil like littleeextra cocconion. .. Maintain a positive mindset for overall well being.
I've tried this cocoonioon anti-hair fall shampoo that's really impressed me. It has a lovely smell and foams up nicely, leaving my hair feeling refreshed and clean. I've noticed less hair fall and breakage over time, which is a big win. It removes frizziness. It's become my go-to for stronger, healthier hair.
Hi! It would be really awesome if you tagged the time sequence of each topics you discuss in the description box , for reference if we rewatch your video! Great video again, thank you so so much!
This is anecdotal, but it happened to me, and it may be useful to someone else. I experienced a horrific psoriasis flare that seemingly came out of nowhere. It was like having burns all over my body. I had been plagued by nummular eczema for over 30 years but never anything compared to this. My dermatologist prescribed heavy duty steroid ointments and diluted bleach baths. Those worked pretty well and at least diminished the acute symptoms by 85 to 90 percent, but left me with a revolting case of dandruff. The eczema was not affected. I tried all the commercial shampoos to no avail. Then a couple of months later I had another flare that was just as severe. We went through the same routine and got the flare under control again, but the dandruff was even worse. Then I read somewhere that processed meat aggravates psoriasis. I eat keto, and at the time I would say I ate bacon almost every day. I was also a big fan of prosciutto. Desperate to avoid another flare, I cut all processed meat out of my diet, and the psoriasis began to clear, and over the next three months vanished completely. Interestingly, so did the nummular 11:01 eczema. But the dandruff was still there. Then I saw a TH-cam video by Eric Berg claiming an herbal method that would dramatically clear dandruff in a week to ten days. By now I was willing to stand on my head for a week if it would get rid of the dandruff. The remedy was very simple, but you have to endure oily hair (in my case, hidden under a bandanna) for a week. All I did was buy a jar of oregano oil capsules and a bottle of flaxseed oil and break one capsule into a tablespoon of flaxseed oil and rub it on my scalp every morning and leave it on all day. I washed it out every night and reapplied in the morning. That schedule worked for me as I’m retired, but I’m sure you could apply the oil after getting home from work and leave it on all night. I was not able to finish the weeklong protocol due to a medical emergency in my immediate family, but four days took care of it. At the end of the treatment only a tiny bit of flaking remained near my right ear, and it eventually went away. It’s been over a year now and I have not had even a hint of psoriasis, eczema, or dandruff. I also do not eat processed meats. I do continue to eat unprocessed meats, eggs, dairy, and even sugar with no ill effects to my skin or scalp. I realize this is an anecdotal experience, but my overall point is be open minded. Don’t assume that only pharmaceutical and commercial remedies will solve your issues. Look at your diet and investigate herbal remedies too. My dermatologist was thrilled that I figured out that processed meat brought on my psoriasis, but all I got in response to my dandruff cure was a stare as if I had told her I don’t believe in western medicine, which is not the case.
Most of these anti-dandruff ingredients leave the scalp dry. Can you guys come up with a video with products (conditioners and hairoils) that can help with the after-care? Thanks a lot.
@RANVEER RAJESH Singh Honestly from the sound of your comment it's you who needs to relax...The original comment was obviously light-hearted. There's no need to read so far into it.
Depending on the area, first clean the scalp and have that yeast less of home to live in as the buildup can spread below. My go to routine is very simple and afforable and leaves me with compliments. At night apply Aloe vera face and hair once cleaned properly, in the morning cerave sunscreen with moisturizing spf30, filtered water reverse osmosis. CeraVe moisturizing cream is good for your body but dont recommend it for face. So basically 2 products Suncreen and moisturizer, if you want antiaging, add some rosehip extract and you got it. This skincare is good for those with dry skins. depending on skin swap CeraVe product for oily faces.
1. Eliminate the causes of dry, irritating hair, and fungi breeding ground (AC conditioning, shower too much, room temperature causing drying, products that cause irritation 2. Clean the sebum (flaky skin) off with filtered soft water/shower filter as hard water is rough only irritates the skin. 3. Once sebum is removed, use an antibacterial antifungal of choice. I use Aloe vera plant gel, I store plant gel in my fridge, and it treats the yeast. If you want more strength, mix in manuka honey, or just buy Wild Naturals Ezcema shampoo and conditioner (aloe vera main ingredient with manuka honey and orange oil.) 4. Make a routine to change filter for the shower or clean the filtered water pitcher you use. For face I just put Aloe vera after I removed sebum and goes directly on my skin Thats my routine, I had a flare up last month and this routine was the cure to the madness. Also made changes to my diet that reduces inflammation and promotes good bacteria. Some honorable mentions for supplements: Rosita Extra Virgin Cod Liver Oil as it increases vitamin D A and omega 3 which are crucial for hair skin and nails.
The olive oil tip is so important. Had been using nizoral for a few weeks and started seeing really good results. Then it started to recur, now I know it’s because my new shampoo had olive oil in it! Thank you :)
I can vouch for the nizoral shampoo! Make sure you get the one with 1% ketoconazole ingredient. I cleared up all my scalp problems after two uses. I had terrible dandruff, dermatitis that was not only on my scalp but coming down into my face, and a couple of new psoriasis spots on my hairline on my neck. I had had the dandruff for years to the point where head and shoulders no longer made a difference, but the psoriasis was my tipping point. The shampoo took care of the fungi that can cause dandruff which is why it worked so well.
@@Anonymous51701 Hi 👋, just to let you know that is been two months and it looks that the shampoo is woorking she stil have a little but just a little bit of dandruff but not like before, I can see the difference 👍

Ketoconazole shampoo is an antifungal medicine that treats skin infections caused by yeast or fungus. It can also prevent these infections from returning. Different strengths of ketoconazole shampoo are used to treat different types of infections
I used Nizoral for two weeks, If I had continued for a month I would have gone bald completely, wanted to get rid of dandruff this shampoo said f it, I start with the hair!
@@maryanncasciani3866 it might be different for each hair type but for me it was the worst thing I could have used I stopped it right away after two weeks.
I'm so upset. In Portugal I paid a private appointment with a dermatologist regarding dandruff just for him to tell me there was nothing I could do, he literally told me that if i didn't want the flakes in my clothes i would just have to wash by hair everyday. This was like 4 years ago, maximum, it was probably even less than that. Then I moved to the UK and i got even worse to a point that it was suoer self conscious and itchy. I bought a over the counter medicated shampoo that at least for now is doing me wonders. And now I discover this channel and find out there's SO MANY ways to try and solve this issues.
My husband has had terrible seb derm for over ten years and would not go to the derm. I got him Nizoral for the scalp and behind his ears and the z-bar for his bearded area and nose. Is completely cleared and has been for over a month!!
BEARDS: How to treat it? What’s the skin type like facial or scalp? How to treat it?moisturizer it? Facial or head products? How to eliminate itch? How to eliminate dandruff? Is malassezia the culprit?... etc
I am so thankful for you recording this over and over again! I just realized I may have psisoriases and these symptons are annoying me for over 2 years, I had no clue what it could be. I will check it out, thank you for talking about this and making me realize my symptoms are related.
THANK YOU So much for this video! 😭🙏🏼 I have suffered trying head and shoulders and other products for dandruff for years and itchiness and embarassment. So thank you! I never knew that your scalp or the yeast can get used to a certain ingredient so you have to switch it up sometimes!! I am doing the Nizoral and salicylic acid; its been only one week and ive seen MAJOR improvement
has your dandruff disappeared since using those new products?... ive been using head and shoulders for like 4-5 months now and haven't seen much improvement
A few questions (hopefully this comment will be seen 🤞🏻) 1. Is it okay to remove the flaking scales? If so, how? I know picking at them isn’t good. 2. Can I mix/ use T/Sal & Nizoral together at the same time? Or should I use one, rinse completely. And then use the next? Thanks!
Hey any update on what worked for you? According the the docs, they basically say to use tsal first to break down the flakes and then nizoral to fight the fungus is what i think they meant.
Was looking for this question. That’s what I understood too…but when they said, rotate, did they mean, first time you wash your hair, you use X and then the next time (on another day) use the other X product? Also, you know how you wash hair twice, do we use one of the products here, and then use our normal shampoo, or do we just hold off on normal shampoo until everything is calm?
I am actually happy you both addressed this! I have never tried Nizoral before so I will look into that one. Head and Shoulders makes my scalp bleed and get scabs so I can't mess with that stuff. If those don't work then I will be going to see a dermatologist. My skin is super sensitive so I honestly should anyways. I even had a ridiculous react all over my body to lavender >.> LAVENDAR of all things?!?! It was a terrible situation there. When I say everywhere I bought wipes, deodorant, body soap and lotion with lavender in it..... so you can only imagine how I looked 🤣. Anyways, yall have been extremely helpful with plenty of things so far for me. It is hard to know what to do when companies make you believe things and pandemic affecting when you can get in to see specialists. I thank you a bunch!!
I’ve had scalp psoriasis for 20+ years so I’ve tried every shampoo listed here - surprisingly the one that gives me the most relief is an american crew one with peppermint in it. I also swear by Dx elecon lotion.
I use CeraVe SA cleanser..... I wet my scalp let it sit for about 5 minutes... Rinse off.... I've been flake free oil free inflammation free for about a year now.... My scalp looks healthy... And my dermatologist was amazed
I used the Neutrogena T-Sal shampoo after watching the video and my hair was always so itchy, flaky. After abt six months I am finally better. The three month mark and I saw results!! It’s work yay
Just discovered you guys and I'm soooo happy that I did 😂 you make me laugh all the time :)) For now I'm struggling with hair loss, so I was wondering if you could do a video about that, about the why's and how to kinda aprouch, treat this. Thanks a lot and really excited about what you are doing here 🤗
SheaMoisture has an African Black Soap Bamboo Charcoal Deep Cleansing line W/ Tea Tree oil and Willow Bark extract which might be a good alternative for this Shampoos recommend in the video. I told my cousin to use the line when she was suffering from dandruff and it seemed to help. Willow bark extract works as the BHA or salicylic acid and tea tree helps with the soothing and is an anti-fungal agent.
We got this one, ketoconazole Fungoral, Daktarin are different brand names. It works against fungus/yeast not only in head-area, works also against skin infection on other body parts.
You have a new subscriber! This information is so help for someone who has been deal with dandruff for decades. When I was about eight, my summer camp advisor sent me home because she thought my dandruff was lice. I was embarrassed to return. I am going to buy some salicylic acid shampoo today!
I use a apple cider vinegar with the “mother” and a silicone hair scrubber. I wash my hair, scrub the scalp with that silicone scrubber and I use the ACV rinse (don’t use it undiluted). I also don’t wash my hair in water that is not hot, but tepid… This regimen has gotten rid of the yeast, the buildup. I have zero flakes. I tried the SA, tar, all of them, nothing helped. For me, ACV works.
@@Sophia-bd7zv the “mother” is the live culture in ACV. If it becomes a harder mass, it’s called a Scoby. Don’t get rid of it…it means active healthy culture. It’s good stuff.
Hi! I really enjoyed this video, and I wanted to see if y’all would be interested in doing a video about PCOS and scalp issues. I’ve read that seborrheic dermatitis is very common in women with PCOS. Thanks!
I've been struggling with dandruff for over a year now. I've tried the T-Sal shampoo from Neutrogena, but only saw temporary results. I'm definitely going to give Nizoral a go. Fingers crossed!
@@ShreyaKaushik11 So I didn’t use the Nizoral shampoo, I went ahead with the Selsun blue shampoo and it really helped get rid of my dandruff in other under two weeks! I only use it once a week, since it is medicated.
@@TrangPhamNguyen I left the T/Sal on for 5 minutes, rinsed and then used the other. After I got the flaking under control I only need to use 1 and rotate between 3 different products.
This is the best content. I’ve been debating going to a dermatologist about my head/ears. Decided I’m going to give your Nizoral + Salicylic acid combo a try and if it doesn’t work then I’ll make an appointment. Thanks!!!
1 St u can use loreal Paris oily hair shampoo with half lemon 🍋 juice its the best way to rid of the dandruff or u can use more lemon juice 2 u can use disprine tablets 3 u can use Onion water Use Aloevera before hairwash U can use lemon water for hair n Onion water for hair just try it Or u can use lemon n Aloevera together n wash with any shampoo or loreal shampoo
I started to have dandruff during senior year in college. 3 years later my earlobe, brows, side of nose and around mouth were flaking too. what helped me is Nizoral Shampoo! Now for maintenance I use Head and Shoulders daily, Nizoral Shampoo once a week. I also moisturize the areas of my face that tends to flake when it’s cold. This works for me! 💯
I struggled with BAD dandruff on my face, ears, eyebrows and TZone. Literally the first time I got prescribed and used Ketoconazole shampoo ,it completely disappeared!!! Do it!

don’t shave lol it makes your armpits appear dark because of the thick hair follicles growing back. although some people do have pigment there, for that i am not sure the cause but if you shave it might be why. i switched to waxing and my armpit is so light now
Hey @doctorly, I have video experience! You guys have a ton of options when it comes to lighting and sound, but always remember to keep light in front of you, not above or behind you’ll look weird and washed out! And for sound if you want to do like a boom mic type of thing that way you don’t get audio. And put a fluffy or foam cover on it so you don’t get any external noises.
Hi Dr. Shah, I actually found you on Tiktok and I would like to thank you so much for the recommending the Neutrogena salicylic acid cleanser. It really helped with my oily, pimple skin. But I'm suffering from severe dandruff that is causing hair fall (I'm only 25) 😭😭😭. I've tried Head & shoulders, it didn't work. I've tried selsum blue but 1. It smelled horrendous on me 2. It made my skin even more itchy and irritated but it helped with the flakes. I had to go to a professional haircare treatment centre and it definitely helped. I saw amazing results after 3 months but I've stopped the sessions due to covid and the price. In your opinion, what would you recommend me to do.
When my Sebhorreic Dermatitis first began it was immediately susceptible to Nizoral (Ketoconazole 1%). After a single use my scalp cleared. As the SD returned it became more and more resistant to the shampoo. Ignorantly, during lockdown I decided to hop on the no-poo/low-poo trend and only shampooed 1 x week. My condition worsened eventually spreading to my face and inside my ears over the next year. During the winter of 2021 it was the worst yet. I sought medical attention at which point my doc prescribed 2% Ketoconazole shampoo, 200 mg Ketoconazole p.o, Betamethasone ointment for my scalp and Pimecrolimus cream. I believe the oral Ketoconazole was what worked most quickly and effectively. Within days my face cleared and my scalp improved and I finished up my 90 pills. From March - July I was doing well...then August hit. Board exams, residency applications, and back to school scaries got me, plus sweating under N-95s all day in clinic caused me to break out. It is now mid-Sept 2022 and my SD has never been worse. I refilled my Ketoconazole pills and have been shampooing with Keto 2% every day (i leave it on my scalp for at least 5 mins before washing), and using the Vanicream Z-bar for my face. I am also taking minocycline for acne, as well as Retin-A, benzoyl peroixide, 2% AHA, and LED mask therapy every day. My acne has cleared but the seborrheic dermatitis just won't quit. I am at my witts end and just want the scaly red patch off of my damn face and my scalp to not look like an inflamed, molting, iguana. Can anyone help me? I should also add I have tried SA and T-gel to no avail.
I used ketoconazole, Tsal, tea tree oil but after a while everything stopped working, now I use vasu trichup herbal shampoo and sometimes meera powder herbal shampoo, also drinking lots of water and salads helped, though I never stopped eating carbs this helped, now I wash hair and workout accordingly every other day without feeling inflammation n itchiness.
Same here. Nizoral helped initially, then COVID hit and I had 2 kids in 18 months, so I was down to 1 wash a week... result, a HORRIBLE SD that wouldn't respond to anti fungal shampoo. I went back to washing my scalp every other day and use head and shoulders. Getting slowly better. Also, I am starting to incorporate glucolic acid (the ordinary 7%) once a week. It seems to work. So far. Good luck!
It's possible you have a biofilm that is preventing the active ingrediebts from penetrating. Seek out selenium sulfide shampoo to destroy the biofilm then start using Nizoral again. Ideally alternate them
Thanks for the video! I had this question that as you mentioned about olive oil being actually harmful in case of Malassezia, which other oil could be used instead!? options like almond, coconut, castor oil etc ?
For years, I thought that I had dandruff. But, eventually, I realized that I had an allergy/sensitivity to SLS! Once I got rid of all SLS products, my flakes went away. And once I realized that my toothpaste had SLS (and found an SLS-free toothpaste), I no longer had a problem with canker sores.
How often do you recommend using Nizoral + T/Sal? I normally wash my hair every other day. Don’t have dandruff but I do get some flaking very often. I’ve tried the T/Sal before and works wonderfully but I only use like once a week. Now that you suggested using these two combined I want to try it but I do have my hair bleached so I’m very careful with what shampoo I use since I don’t want to damage my hair anymore. Please advise.
Washing your hair every other day honestly, is not a safe decision. Your scalp keeps itself clean for a good time so washing every alternate day strips off your natural oils.
Would lose to see a video discussing treatments for sebborheic dermatitis on the face and ears. I struggle with this condition severely and have never found a solution. Thankfully my hair hides my ears and I just pull any dead skin off of my nose, eyebrow, and hairline before going anywhere to make sure it’s not visible. I’m unable to use any of the medicated shampoo options as I have color treated hair. I tried them when I was younger but they always made it worse. I have abnormally dry skin that’s made worse by medications I have to take so my main “solution” is to just touch my hair as little as possible to keep dandruff from happening haha. Thankfully when my hair is lighter it tends not to be as noticeable
I double cleansed my scalp because I had a lot of product build up and when I got out the shower to style my curls I noticed flakes on my roots/hair strands/comb. I itch my scalp here and there. Could it be product build up? Dandruff from oily scalp or dry scalp from double cleansing 😣 how do I know.
I’m using the Nazoral and Sulfer wash on my head-face-chest-back and body. Helping with the Smart Spray and other sulfer and Keroconozole and other prescriptions.

In Portugal I paid a private appointment with a dermatologist regarding dandruff just for him to tell me there was nothing I could do, he literally told me that if i didn't want the flakes in my clothes i would just have to wash by hair everyday. This was like 4 years ago, maximum, it was probably even less than that. Then I moved to the UK and i got even worse to a point that it was suoer self conscious and itchy. I bought a over the counter medicated shampoo that at least for now is doing me wonders. And now I discover this channel and find out there's SO MANY ways to try and solve this issues.
My husband has had terrible seb derm for over ten years and would not go to the derm. I got him Nizoral for the scalp and behind his ears and the z-bar for his bearded area and nose. Is completely cleared and has been for over a month!!
BEARDS: How to treat it? What’s the skin type like facial or scalp? How to treat it?moisturizer it? Facial or head products? How to eliminate itch? How to eliminate dandruff? Is malassezia the culprit?... etc
The green selsun shampoo was life changing. Thank you ❤
Please do a video on hairfall.Thanks!
Thanks for sharing so much knowledge with us. Would it be possible to do a video on psoriasis/scalp psoriasis?
I am so thankful for you recording this over and over again! I just realized I may have psisoriases and these symptons are annoying me for over 2 years, I had no clue what it could be. I will check it out, thank you for talking about this and making me realize my symptoms are related.
Hello it did worked for you?
Update?
Your videos are really helpful! Thank you 💯
Could you please do a video about seborrheic dermatitis?
Yes please!
THANK YOU So much for this video! 😭🙏🏼 I have suffered trying head and shoulders and other products for dandruff for years and itchiness and embarassment. So thank you! I never knew that your scalp or the yeast can get used to a certain ingredient so you have to switch it up sometimes!! I am doing the Nizoral and salicylic acid; its been only one week and ive seen MAJOR improvement
has your dandruff disappeared since using those new products?... ive been using head and shoulders for like 4-5 months now and haven't seen much improvement
how often do you use both?
A few questions (hopefully this comment will be seen 🤞🏻)
1. Is it okay to remove the flaking scales? If so, how? I know picking at them isn’t good.
2. Can I mix/ use T/Sal & Nizoral together at the same time? Or should I use one, rinse completely. And then use the next?
Thanks!
Hey any update on what worked for you? According the the docs, they basically say to use tsal first to break down the flakes and then nizoral to fight the fungus is what i think they meant.
Was looking for this question.
That’s what I understood too…but when they said, rotate, did they mean, first time you wash your hair, you use X and then the next time (on another day) use the other X product?
Also, you know how you wash hair twice, do we use one of the products here, and then use our normal shampoo, or do we just hold off on normal shampoo until everything is calm?
I am actually happy you both addressed this! I have never tried Nizoral before so I will look into that one. Head and Shoulders makes my scalp bleed and get scabs so I can't mess with that stuff. If those don't work then I will be going to see a dermatologist. My skin is super sensitive so I honestly should anyways. I even had a ridiculous react all over my body to lavender >.> LAVENDAR of all things?!?! It was a terrible situation there. When I say everywhere I bought wipes, deodorant, body soap and lotion with lavender in it..... so you can only imagine how I looked 🤣. Anyways, yall have been extremely helpful with plenty of things so far for me. It is hard to know what to do when companies make you believe things and pandemic affecting when you can get in to see specialists. I thank you a bunch!!
Lavender is fragrance and does nothing for skin.
Lavender oil is a thing. Thats like saying Vanilla is "only" a fragrance... yet you can eat Vanilla. Lavender isn't only used for one single purpose.
Hi alexia, how is the process going so far? Is the problem of dandruff over?
I’ve had scalp psoriasis for 20+ years so I’ve tried every shampoo listed here - surprisingly the one that gives me the most relief is an american crew one with peppermint in it. I also swear by Dx elecon lotion.
Hi Doctors! Could you please make a video about anti hair fall products ? Thank you!
I feel like i get more dandruff in the winter ❄️
Me too! Do you think (or anyone ready the comments) is because of hot water when we shower??
@@AldoTJ I think it's because of dryness and dehydration
In winter we tend to drink water less since we don't sweat/move as we do in summer
Most people do because it’s literally drier in the winter.
Winter is dry. What would hot water have to do with it?
@@MH-rn4tp Hot water is dehydrating. Hot water and low humidity in cold weather - double whammy.
I use CeraVe SA cleanser..... I wet my scalp let it sit for about 5 minutes... Rinse off.... I've been flake free oil free inflammation free for about a year now.... My scalp looks healthy... And my dermatologist was amazed
Nizoral is the BEST!! So happy I found that product years ago 💕
Jesse Obed totally agree Jesse - it’s my favorite!
I am going to have to try it out. Just bought some Selsun Blue last Friday.
I used the Neutrogena T-Sal shampoo after watching the video and my hair was always so itchy, flaky. After abt six months I am finally better. The three month mark and I saw results!! It’s work yay
Just discovered you guys and I'm soooo happy that I did 😂 you make me laugh all the time :)) For now I'm struggling with hair loss, so I was wondering if you could do a video about that, about the why's and how to kinda aprouch, treat this. Thanks a lot and really excited about what you are doing here 🤗
I had no idea so no interest in skin care but just a few videos of yours got me on a really good routine
SheaMoisture has an African Black Soap Bamboo Charcoal Deep Cleansing line W/ Tea Tree oil and Willow Bark extract which might be a good alternative for this Shampoos recommend in the video. I told my cousin to use the line when she was suffering from dandruff and it seemed to help. Willow bark extract works as the BHA or salicylic acid and tea tree helps with the soothing and is an anti-fungal agent.
I actually use cerave SA Facial cleanser to wash my scalp time to time to get rid of the itch and build up. Works well
We got this one, ketoconazole Fungoral, Daktarin are different brand names. It works against fungus/yeast not only in head-area, works also against skin infection on other body parts.
You have a new subscriber! This information is so help for someone who has been deal with dandruff for decades. When I was about eight, my summer camp advisor sent me home because she thought my dandruff was lice. I was embarrassed to return. I am going to buy some salicylic acid shampoo today!
I use a apple cider vinegar with the “mother” and a silicone hair scrubber. I wash my hair, scrub the scalp with that silicone scrubber and I use the ACV rinse (don’t use it undiluted). I also don’t wash my hair in water that is not hot, but tepid… This regimen has gotten rid of the yeast, the buildup. I have zero flakes. I tried the SA, tar, all of them, nothing helped. For me, ACV works.
Same! Tried everything and only organic unfiltered ACV with the mother eorked for me (I also do rubbing with silicone scrubber)
Lol what do you guys mean by ACV with the “mother.” ACV should be the Apple cider vinegar, but what do you mean by “mother”?
@@Sophia-bd7zv the “mother” is the live culture in ACV. If it becomes a harder mass, it’s called a Scoby. Don’t get rid of it…it means active healthy culture. It’s good stuff.
i have questions. how much ACV should i use ?
After rinse with ACV ,should i rinse with regular water or leave it
Your videos are short to the point and understanding. Thank you for great helpful tips and knowledge.
Thank you so much for this video and STAY BLESSED my gentle men.💖
Hi! I really enjoyed this video, and I wanted to see if y’all would be interested in doing a video about PCOS and scalp issues. I’ve read that seborrheic dermatitis is very common in women with PCOS. Thanks!
how often we should wash our hair if we have dandruff???
How can you tell the difference between dry scalp and dandruff?
Well if your scalp feels really really oily and if your scalp feels really really dry. For oily scalp dandruff is a lot worse and there’s no cure
You two are absolutely adorable!!! Thank you so much for all the information you’re sharing. Could you please comment on T/Gel?
I've been struggling with dandruff for over a year now. I've tried the T-Sal shampoo from Neutrogena, but only saw temporary results. I'm definitely going to give Nizoral a go. Fingers crossed!
Did you see any results?
@@ShreyaKaushik11 So I didn’t use the Nizoral shampoo, I went ahead with the Selsun blue shampoo and it really helped get rid of my dandruff in other under two weeks! I only use it once a week, since it is medicated.
Remember it can only make it better temporarily cause it doesn’t have a cure
@@smiley8106 oh, mine doesn't even go on for a temporary basis, it's too much
@@ShreyaKaushik11 I would highly recommend visiting a dermatologist if you are able to.
I use Maple Holistics Sage dandruff shampoo and it works great. I've tried everything over the counter. This shampoo has no chemicals
Shall I just shave off my hair
😂😂😂it wont help i tried it
I was in my chem class playing with my hair over the black lab tables and I turned it into a filthy snow globe and that was my grand awakening
6:23 - I just tried exactly this, except I used "Ionil T scalp cleanser" instead of the T/Sal and it worked amazingly! Thanks guys, excellent videos.
Do u use them both in the same wash? Or do u switch them off every other day?
@@TrangPhamNguyen I left the T/Sal on for 5 minutes, rinsed and then used the other. After I got the flaking under control I only need to use 1 and rotate between 3 different products.
Which one do you wash your hair with first? T/sal or nizoral?
@@omidmohammadi6150 T/Sal first
This is the best content. I’ve been debating going to a dermatologist about my head/ears. Decided I’m going to give your Nizoral + Salicylic acid combo a try and if it doesn’t work then I’ll make an appointment. Thanks!!!
Did it work ?
So after 9 months, did it works?
?
my hands are always getting dry and flaky when using any kind of soap or detergent! please do a video on what products I can use to treat it!
You might have eczema. That’s happening to me rn because of winter. Try applying lotion to your hands each time you wash them!
Seriously didn't know there was a difference, thanks for this video, truly helping me a lot.
I tried your shampoo recommendations for my husband and it totally worked! I trust you guys so much now.
Which one did you use?
Love these vids that go into detail!!! Thank you Dr Shah and Dr Maxfield!
Also, could you guys add more pictures/ visual aides in future vids?🙏🏼
Thanks thats so helpful! could you pls make vid on strech marks!

Great content guys! I'm a family doctor myself and your videos help me in my practice as well. I use your tips and advice to my patients often ;).
Thank you sooo much for your informative videos. Which antidandruff shampoo is safe and effective for coloured hair??
I started to have dandruff during senior year in college. 3 years later my earlobe, brows, side of nose and around mouth were flaking too. what helped me is Nizoral Shampoo! Now for maintenance I use Head and Shoulders daily, Nizoral Shampoo once a week. I also moisturize the areas of my face that tends to flake when it’s cold. This works for me! 💯
I struggled with BAD dandruff on my face, ears, eyebrows and TZone. Literally the first time I got prescribed and used Ketoconazole shampoo ,it completely disappeared!!! Do it!
Hi Doctors! Quick Question: is it advisable to wash your hair everyday when you have dandruff?
No
Yes
You guys are doing great. You are very informative and it’s great to share your information with others.
Thanks!
DJI Wireless Mic for audio. Wireless, of course. Includes two. Includes amplifier. Easy to use. No complicated setup.
is it more effective if you leave the shampoo on for 5 minutes or more?
Head and shoulders in uk is advised by many derma consultants to avoid its considered to be very harsh.
I am from India and since my childhood I've been using curd mixed with what we call triphala churna ( its a powdered mixture of three fruits). You can get it in any pharmacy in India.
Completely cured?
Please make a video on dark underarms.
1. Why people get dark underarms.
2. Which hair removal method should be followed for preventing dark underarms.
3. Treatments and product recommendations for dark underarms.
don’t shave lol it makes your armpits appear dark because of the thick hair follicles growing back. although some people do have pigment there, for that i am not sure the cause but if you shave it might be why. i switched to waxing and my armpit is so light now
Hey @doctorly, I have video experience! You guys have a ton of options when it comes to lighting and sound, but always remember to keep light in front of you, not above or behind you’ll look weird and washed out!
And for sound if you want to do like a boom mic type of thing that way you don’t get audio. And put a fluffy or foam cover on it so you don’t get any external noises.
AC Slater on the left 😂 Love your vids always so helpful thanks guys!!
Start 1:35
W bro
What would you say about the connection between dandruff and the microbiome? What are your thoughts on it?
I'm curious about that too. Seems like using a shampoo does not get to the root of the problem.
Thank you so much for making this video!
Do you have any recommendations for swimmers? Im in the water for 20 hours of the week and the chlorine just recks skin
Please make a in depth video about hair care & hair growth and actual supplements that help that won’t break the bank.
What would to be the daily routine? And how long should we use it?
You are the best
I have a question, can you use 100% squalene for your scalp? Will that help with controlling and restoring the balance of your scalps environment.
I really enjoy watching hacks approved by doctor. Could you do more vidéos like this please
Hi Dr. Shah, I actually found you on Tiktok and I would like to thank you so much for the recommending the Neutrogena salicylic acid cleanser. It really helped with my oily, pimple skin.
But I'm suffering from severe dandruff that is causing hair fall (I'm only 25) 😭😭😭. I've tried Head & shoulders, it didn't work. I've tried selsum blue but 1. It smelled horrendous on me 2. It made my skin even more itchy and irritated but it helped with the flakes. I had to go to a professional haircare treatment centre and it definitely helped. I saw amazing results after 3 months but I've stopped the sessions due to covid and the price.
In your opinion, what would you recommend me to do.
@@FancyForestPersonthank you so much for the tip. Any particular brand and type of probiotic capsules you'd recommend?
Lemon juice is the best for dandruff.. I use every two days to stay dandruff free. Dilute it with few drops of water if it’s too strong for your scalp
this video is so informative great doctors
Does dandruff ever go away or do I have to use these shampoo regularly? I would like to use other shampoo without having to worry about dandruff. 😧
From what I've heard you have to keep using the anti dandruff shampoo.
It doesn’t have a cure
Thanks for making this video! I’ll definitely try these products!
When my Sebhorreic Dermatitis first began it was immediately susceptible to Nizoral (Ketoconazole 1%). After a single use my scalp cleared. As the SD returned it became more and more resistant to the shampoo. Ignorantly, during lockdown I decided to hop on the no-poo/low-poo trend and only shampooed 1 x week. My condition worsened eventually spreading to my face and inside my ears over the next year. During the winter of 2021 it was the worst yet. I sought medical attention at which point my doc prescribed 2% Ketoconazole shampoo, 200 mg Ketoconazole p.o, Betamethasone ointment for my scalp and Pimecrolimus cream. I believe the oral Ketoconazole was what worked most quickly and effectively. Within days my face cleared and my scalp improved and I finished up my 90 pills. From March - July I was doing well...then August hit. Board exams, residency applications, and back to school scaries got me, plus sweating under N-95s all day in clinic caused me to break out. It is now mid-Sept 2022 and my SD has never been worse. I refilled my Ketoconazole pills and have been shampooing with Keto 2% every day (i leave it on my scalp for at least 5 mins before washing), and using the Vanicream Z-bar for my face. I am also taking minocycline for acne, as well as Retin-A, benzoyl peroixide, 2% AHA, and LED mask therapy every day. My acne has cleared but the seborrheic dermatitis just won't quit. I am at my witts end and just want the scaly red patch off of my damn face and my scalp to not look like an inflamed, molting, iguana. Can anyone help me? I should also add I have tried SA and T-gel to no avail.
I used ketoconazole, Tsal, tea tree oil but after a while everything stopped working, now I use vasu trichup herbal shampoo and sometimes meera powder herbal shampoo, also drinking lots of water and salads helped, though I never stopped eating carbs this helped, now I wash hair and workout accordingly every other day without feeling inflammation n itchiness.
Same here. Nizoral helped initially, then COVID hit and I had 2 kids in 18 months, so I was down to 1 wash a week... result, a HORRIBLE SD that wouldn't respond to anti fungal shampoo.
I went back to washing my scalp every other day and use head and shoulders. Getting slowly better. Also, I am starting to incorporate glucolic acid (the ordinary 7%) once a week. It seems to work. So far.
Good luck!
It's possible you have a biofilm that is preventing the active ingrediebts from penetrating. Seek out selenium sulfide shampoo to destroy the biofilm then start using Nizoral again. Ideally alternate them
Thanks for the video! I had this question that as you mentioned about olive oil being actually harmful in case of Malassezia, which other oil could be used instead!? options like almond, coconut, castor oil etc ?
Jojoba oil is said to be good for the scalp.
I tried everything but with temporary results until I used baking soda with regular shampoo and problem solved.
For years, I thought that I had dandruff. But, eventually, I realized that I had an allergy/sensitivity to SLS! Once I got rid of all SLS products, my flakes went away. And once I realized that my toothpaste had SLS (and found an SLS-free toothpaste), I no longer had a problem with canker sores.
SLS and most chemicals are pretty toxic sigh
What is SLS ?? Someone plz tell me
What about food we consume? We are what we eat, no? Food allergies may cause yeast to grow?
How often do you recommend using Nizoral + T/Sal? I normally wash my hair every other day. Don’t have dandruff but I do get some flaking very often. I’ve tried the T/Sal before and works wonderfully but I only use like once a week. Now that you suggested using these two combined I want to try it but I do have my hair bleached so I’m very careful with what shampoo I use since I don’t want to damage my hair anymore. Please advise.
Washing your hair every other day honestly, is not a safe decision. Your scalp keeps itself clean for a good time so washing every alternate day strips off your natural oils.
@@Misbahmulla how often should I was it?
@@Misbahmulla yeah did you have a normal scalp but if you have seb dermatitis (a fungal infection) on your scalp you need to shampoo more
I wash my hair daily.
Can potassium ermanganate dil solutions cure dandruff?
Would lose to see a video discussing treatments for sebborheic dermatitis on the face and ears. I struggle with this condition severely and have never found a solution. Thankfully my hair hides my ears and I just pull any dead skin off of my nose, eyebrow, and hairline before going anywhere to make sure it’s not visible.
I’m unable to use any of the medicated shampoo options as I have color treated hair. I tried them when I was younger but they always made it worse. I have abnormally dry skin that’s made worse by medications I have to take so my main “solution” is to just touch my hair as little as possible to keep dandruff from happening haha.
Thankfully when my hair is lighter it tends not to be as noticeable
Does ur face burns badly ? & Does ur sd comes and go or u have to u use ointment daily ? Pls tell me I m facing it badly all over my face and ears
the two most good looking doctors lol
I double cleansed my scalp because I had a lot of product build up and when I got out the shower to style my curls I noticed flakes on my roots/hair strands/comb. I itch my scalp here and there. Could it be product build up? Dandruff from oily scalp or dry scalp from double cleansing 😣 how do I know.
I’m using the Nazoral and Sulfer wash on my head-face-chest-back and body. Helping with the Smart Spray and other sulfer and Keroconozole and other prescriptions.
