What shampoo brand do you recommend for dandruff?

Question

I have been dealing with this dandruff situation for quite a while now and I still can't seem to figure out how to get rid of this problem.
I have tried several shampoo brands/products like head and shoulders, ANGFA organic shampoo and the Honey Deep Moist Shampoo. And none of them worked so far.
Some say it's because of hot shower. Well I do shower every day, but I don't use hot shower all the time. I rinse my hair thoroughly after applying shampoo and conditioner. I also tried applying shampoo every other day just to make my hair less dry but I still none of those tricks are working. 
If there is a product that you recommend that suits every man's budget then I would appreciate it so much.

I use a brand called Success. However, I had dandruff for the longest time too until I tried just soaking the shampoo in for a longer time before washing it off.

My husband likes the Head and Shoulders men's scalp care variety, you can find it on Amazon Japan and despite being called "men's scalp care" I think it's suitable for anyone. It has a nice smell and isn't too expensive.

@PDecs Thank you for the tip. I will try that method for a week or two and we'll see. :)

Curel's line of moisture care including the shampoo might do the trick.

I've used Merit shampoo in the dry winter months and had some relief.

You can also go to a dermatologist to ask for advice.

That's actually a great tip from ToneToEdo, since some scalp conditions look like dandruff but they're not actually dandruff, like dermatitis. If you've already tried a number of anti-dandruff shampoos without any success, the dermatologist route would be a good next step IMO.

Ekimsaido · Answer

@genkidesu Yes, that will definitely be my last option. I will just have to try all of your recommended products first before I seek help from a dermatologist. I appreciate all your tips and suggestions.

I've nothing to suggest currently, but I've noticed my eldest daughter has dandruff quite bad at  the moment - ever since pool season started. So I'm taking note of the suggestions! Thanks for posting.

Did you manage having any success with some of the suggestions? Would love to hear back about what may have worked for you!

Hey @ekimsaido
Same problem.
Ever since I moved to Japan, I started experiencing dandruff—something I never had back in my home country.

Ekimsaido · Answer

@TheMuggleWriter1997  Yeah. Their suggestions were really helpful.

TheMuggleWriter1997 · Answer

I suspect it’s due to the water quality and the constant need to use a heater, especially during the cold seasons.

TheMuggleWriter1997 · Answer

The dryness caused by hot water might be making my scalp flaky.
