Just washing your hair will help to remove flakes, but anti-dandruff shampoos also contain special ingredients to control yeasts or reduce inflammation on your scalp. Vosene anti-dandruff products are designed to be used by the whole family. Ideally the anti-dandruff shampoo should be used at least three times a week, as regular use will ease flakes and itching. If you use a conditioner, then ensure it is an anti-dandruff one - this will increase the effectiveness of the regime (against an ordinary conditioner). When the treatment stops, it is natural for the Malassezia Yeasts to return along with the flaky by-products.
