Dandruff or dry skin on head? What works?

[Trillz]

I have dandruff. Or a dry scalp. One or the other. I'm not even sure if they are different.

I don't know if I want to get out the Head and Shoulders (which I have heard is very harsh) or if I need to somehow moisturise my head better.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

But my hair, skin and scalp are very dry too. But I still get the fungus shit

So how do you tell if you have a dry scalp or fungus? What's the distinguishing feature?

I have no clue. I decided mine was dry scalp, but the ginger shampoo I linked to treats both and smells nice too (won't leave you with a stained scalp like some treatment shampoos.) mine seemed to get really bad after I had been using pantene for the first time in years.
You only need a tiny amount.

I agree with the Apple Cider Vinegar recommendation and also try using coconut oil. Melt it, massage it into your scalp. Leave it on overnight. Wash out in the morning.

Just to echo other posters:

BODY SHOP GINGER SHAMPOO

I put a similar q on here last year and so many people recommended it. I had proper scabs over my head and it was spreading. I had tried some medicated shampoo from chemist to no avail, then got some coal tar and body shop ginger. I think it was the body shop ginger stuff that really shifted it and now I use it when I got swimming and it seems to keep it at bay. Smells lovely too.
