   The first step to reduce dandruff is to determine the underlying cause for the problem.

   Implementing the use of exercise or other means to alleviate stress may be especially important if it is not possible to resolve the stressful issues. , Without the inclusion of foods that provide a sufficient supply of nutrients, the scalp will be more susceptible to dryness and flaking.

   Also include foods that offer an equitable amount of zinc as part of your daily diet. , Sunlight does more than promote the production of vitamin D3; it also helps to promote the production of healthy oils in the skin when exposure is kept within reasonable limits.

   Try cutting back on your use of the products as well as switch to products that are infused with nutrients that help feed the scalp. , There are a number of medicated shampoos on the market today that help to reduce hair dandruff by fighting the underlying causes for the skin irritation and flaking.
   
   Along with over the counter products, physicians can also provide access to prescription only formulas for advanced cases.
