Dandruff is no more difficult to treat in a severe flare-up than in a mild one. Simply choose the right shampoo and take the right daily steps to get rid of it quickly.
When dandruff proliferates, an anti-dandruff shampoo is once again perfectly appropriate.
The reason is that, regardless of the intensity of the flakes, the cause of dandruff is always the same: a naturally occurring micro-organism, Malassezia Globosa.

If you suffer from a particularly severe dandruff flare-up, follow these tips:
- wash your hair often: dandruff multiplies when the scalp produces more sebum, so it's in your best interest to keep it, and your hair, as clean as possible
- use your anti-dandruff shampoo regularly: its effectiveness depends on continuous use. If you stop using it, dandruff will likely return
- use an anti-dandruff conditioner: commercial conditioners often remove the active ingredient from your anti-dandruff shampoo. Instead, choose a conditioner designed to prolong its action. See our anti-dandruff conditioners.
Dandruff still there? A severe dandruff flare-up can also indicate that you are suffering from seborrheic dermatitis. That's why, if an anti-dandruff shampoo doesn't solve the problem, try Clinical Strength shampoo.
Based on selenium sulfide, an active ingredient, it is a pharmaceutical-grade shampoo⁽¹⁾ proven effective against severe flare-ups of flakes caused by both dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis.
