Ever heard of the movie “Evolution”?

Like many, have had dandruff all my life. Went to a dermatologist for some similar flaking and irritation on parts of my face, and she diagnosed the whole kit n kaboodle as seborrheic dermatitis caused by this yeast, and gave me a prescription strength ketoconazole shampoo to use on my head and skin twice a week. 1 week later, my skin is cleared up, and I haven't seen a flake of dandruff in the last 2 months of using it. Update, 1 Month Later: Stopped using the antifungal shampoo about 3-4 weeks ago, and still haven't seen any recurrence of dandruff. Still keep the shampoo on hand for whenever/if ever it starts to come back.

Best head and shoulders commercial since Evolution!

There are so many causes, it really depends on each person. Some people just have dry skin and either need to stop washing their head as often or use a moisturizer. Other people have bacteria problems and need medicated shampoos like head&shoulder, a tea tree oil one, or something like sulfate shampoo. There's also very specific medical conditions like psoriasis on the scalp which means it'll never go away, you can only reduce it with medication.

I've had dandruff for as long as I've known. As a kid, my mum used to put Head and Shoulders to try and get rid of it. I used H&S for 2 decades and I'm sorry but it never did anything to reduce the dandruff that I had. Someone introduced me to Neutrogena T-Gel - wow what a difference. While it didnt get rid of it permanently, I could go like a week before it started to show again. So I just had to use it like every 6-8 days to keep it at bay. I still keep using it now and will continue to do so.

I'm concerned with head & shoulders approach to curing dandruff. Their solution is to just obliterate the microbiome that exists on your scalp. but I think given all the research we've seen on how a healthy microbiome in the gut can cause dramatic changes in digestion and overall health, it would probably be wise to re-evaluate our thought process towards skincare. What if there's a way to have pro-biotic soaps that select for a type of fungus that doesn't inflame our scalps? I think there is a lot of potential for research in how maintaining a healthy microbial community on your body is a more effective way to stay healthy than to destroy the microbes completely.

In the other hand guts has the mucosa and beneath is the gut and that's it you can damage yourself so easy... well not that easy but with beta adrenergicos and especific drugs that are common. Still I think washing your hair less often it's the better choice than killing all the bacteria cause maybe it will grow stronger like the flu uwu.

This vid has been sitting in my recommendations for a month.

I've suffered from dandruff and overall oily skin since my childhood, and after finding a doctor willing to help me by giving a prescription for isotretinoin/accutane, all my skin problems, including the dandruff, disappeared. If your skin is producing too much sebum than it's certain your fungus will be more active. All those shampoos and creams I've used through the years only acted as temporary solutions and would eventually fail, and now thanks to the medication I can live without that kind of discomfort and embarassment caused by skin problems.

(Just thinking out loud here) it seems to me that the Head and Shoulders solution, while effective, doesn't address the root cause of dandruff which is caused by one's own immune system unnecessarily freaking out at the byproducts caused by Malassezia. If our immune system is primarily driven by our genetics, maybe there could be a gene therapy developed to address this. (Crispr, anyone?) Targeting and/or disrupting the natural Malassezia on the skin could cause other issues by disrupting the balance of skin flora.

That would require a whole ton of research, and probably not fixable with just crispr. Gene therapy is used for single gene defects mostly, but in this case, a whole bunch of genes probably play a role, which would all have to be edited. This is also not possible as you would have to infect every immune cell in the body to give them the cirspr system. The only option to modify the genes in every cell, is to do it in an embryo and then letting it develop to a human so you only have to change one cell. however ethics are not developed in this field so it would never be accepted to do so. TLDR: Not possible

While I appreciate the science behind this video, I wish that you would have included an opposition view point. Such as those who believe that the reason we have the bacteria in the first place is due to the continual stripping of the oils from our scalp. This is essentially a giant ad for a product that may be causing the issue in the first place.

@@Liquoricilicious About 2 months. Life didn't allow me to go longer. It didn't get better at all. Hair got damaged and skin flaky, especially near the end. My head just feels so much better shampooing/conditioning. I do have particular favorite ones and don't tolerate some very well. Regular ones in shops around here are murder on my hair. I don't use any other hair products, never style it or anything. I think it might depend on hair type? I have really thin, straight, dark blonde hair, and naturally a ball of drippy grease. Conditioner is a must

I used head & shoulders for 10 years and it really helped me get rid of dandruff. Or so I thought, one day I was told by my hairdresser that the reason I was getting dandruff was because my head was used to head & shoulders. And maybe I didn't actually have dandruff. So I stopped using it and at first the dandruff came back and my head was itching like crazy but after a couple of months, no dandruff and no itching. Now I use quality shampoo recommended by my hairdresser but I use it much less. Only once maybe every 2-3 weeks. My hair is doing great. Feels like these corporations make us addicted to their products. Or at least make you think that you have a problem with your hair while you might not really have one. I think your hair can do fine naturally. At least it worked for me. Try it out 👍

Where do you live? I've been "researching" no shampoo method for months and gave I t a try, but it wasn't functioning because the water in my area is too hard, so I can not wash my hair properly only with water - it does nothing, grease stays on my head, making it look awful

I've identified two possible causes for dandruff in my case. It disappeared after A) I started taking creatine or B) I stopped using shampoo that contains sodium laureth sulfate. My best guess is A, but I can't rule out B or of course maybe a third cause.

Hair is what keeps the scalp moist and warm thus making it idle for the bacteria.. if you remove hair it would not be a breeding ground so no bacteria.. no dandruff!!

Show me some petri dishes with regular shampoo in the center. I'm sure there's a whole host of things in all shampoos that bacteria don't like. It's also interesting that when they were showing the gene signatures, the said "after 3 weeks of H&S, you see a difference" what about 3 weeks of treatment with other shampoos? Wording and comparisons are important here.

Scalp Psoriasis can also come and go based on humidity and temperature. For example, during the winters in central Nevada the air is very dry and cold. My Psoriasis can really flare up. During the summers my scalp stay more moist because sweat and oils. But your right, just rinsing the dirt out is all you really need to do. Also showering every single day is bad for your skin. Sure shower off if you've been doing lots physical dirty work, but if you work in a job that's not that physical, a simple hand washing and a hot wet cloth in the pits and crotch is all you need.

For many people proper daily exfoliation is the only thing necessary to get rid of dandruff. Chemicals that dry the scalp and strip away naturally occurring oils only make the problem of dandruff worse in the long run. That's my theory, anyways.
