How the fuck do I stop dandruff?
I've used Old Spice Head & Shoulders anti-dandruff shampoo for the past few years. It does its job, but recently I felt like trying Selsun Blue because I hear that one works better for dandruff. About two weeks in and my dandruff is coming back. I imagine it's happening because I switched shampoos and my scalp needs to adjust to the change, but I'm starting to think I should just go pick up a bottle of the old stuff. Thoughts?
Whenever I shower, I wet my hair, rub my shampoo thoroughly through my hair and scalp, wash rest of body, then rinse off shampoo.
This might be more /adv/ than /wsr/ but I'll help ya.
Dandruff shampoo isn't a long term solution for dandruff. As a matter of fact using dandruff shampoo to much can exasperate the problem. It can either make the scalp too dry or your scalp will build up an immunity to the active ingredients in the shampoo. You should only use anti-dandruff shampoo sparingly, along with some form of hair/scalp moisturizer/oil.
Moisturizing the scalp will do more for the dandruff than the shampoo in the long haul.

Yeah I just realized I posted this not in /adv/
Could you recommend any products? And if I do use some kind of oil, how often should I be getting my hair wet in the shower/actually shampooing my hair?

I don't know your hair type and all that stuff so you'd have to test things out and see what works. Finding stuff like that for men (aka stuff that doesn't smell like perfume) is kind of hard so i look for homemade remedies. Usually using non-scented oils like olive oil.

You don't want to leave oil in your hair for too long without washing it so I suggest buying a shampoo and conditioner that's mild and can be used when ever you like and using a dandruff shampoo twice a week or when needed.
Well, first off are you sure you're rinsing your head off well?. Sometimes dandruff I hear is from leftover shampoo that has hardened. Make sure you get it all out and rinse your head/hair real good.
Try changing techniques, if you scrape your scalp then stop doing that, just rub your over your head and hair real hard but don't scrape the scalp, if your'e not then try vice versa.
Rinse off shampoo first, that's what I do before I wash my body. I wash my head very quickly then rinse.
Try getting off that expensive shit. Just get some regular great value shampoo + conditioner and leave it at that.
What is your hair style? how often you get it cut? Where do you get it cut? By scissor? buzzer? both?
