Dandruff appears. I don't know what to do. I change shampoo every 2 months, on the recommendation of a doctor friend took shampoo with ketoconazole, but still dandruff returned after a couple of weeks

To better understand your dandruff condition and provide you with personalized Ayurvedic recommendations, could you please share more details about your symptoms? Specifically, I would like to know about the severity of the dandruff, any accompanying scalp irritation or itching, your hair care routine (including the types of products you use), and your diet. In the meantime, Ayurveda offers several remedies to help combat dandruff. You might consider using Brahmi oil or Neem oil for scalp massages, as both have antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties that can soothe the scalp and reduce dandruff. Additionally, applying a paste of Fenugreek seeds (soaked and ground) on the scalp can be beneficial, as it nourishes the hair and scalp while reducing dryness. Regularly rinsing your hair with Amla juice or a mixture of Shikakai and water can also promote scalp health. Maintaining a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, particularly B vitamins and zinc, can further support healthy hair and scalp.

Ah, it's frustrating when dandruff keeps coming back, isn't it? Let's take a look at it from an Ayurvedic perspective. So, dandruff can often be linked to an imbalance in Vata and Pitta doshas - too dry or too hot, these elements, they can mess up the scalp's environment. You might wanna try some ayurvedic solutions. First, make friends with coconut oil!🤜🤛 Warm it slightly and massage it into your scalp, say, 2-3 times a week. Leave it on overnight if you can. It nourishes and keeps things moist. You gotta wash it off with a gentle herbal shampoo though. Neem oil's another buddy that could help. Mix few drops of it with coconut oil. Neem is great ‘cause it’s antimicrobial. Fight those nasties that sometimes like to hang out on the scalp. Change in diet can be a game-changer too, believe me. More fresh fruits and veggies, cut down on spicy and oily stuff. Hydrate like there's no tomorrow; keeps all that dryness and heat at bay. Also, add spices like turmeric and cumin when cooking. They’re for helping with digestion, which balances Agni, guide clear skin from an Ayurdic point of view. Daily routine counts too, you know. Chillin' out and stress reduction can help regulate Pitta. Yes, yoga and meditation on the regular could calm the mind, hence, calm the skin. If you are into natural pastes, try making one with fenugreek seeds. Soak 'em overnight, grind them into a paste. Apply it on the scalp, suuuper soothing and it so sure gets those scales under control. Try these things out and watch for changes. If it doesn't help, might wanna swing by ayurvedic practitioners to get your prakriti assessed. Just, don't be too hard on yourself, okay? Sometimes it takes a bit of trial and error. Be patient—it goes a long way!
