Do not ignore them, doing nothing about the condition lets the scaling build up on your scalp. This further causes itching and you may end up scratching your scalp. Avoid scratching your scalp as it may give rise to other complication such as infection.

Do not get your hair straightened, apply colour or get them permed. As all of these will further add up to your dry conditions and lead to dandruff. Basically it is the shedding of dead skin cells from the scalp. It occurs when there is not enough of sebum produced in your scalp. In order to control them, you must first bring back the sebum balance, so that you neither have too dry or too oily locks. Oily scalp also aggravates the condition, take enough care to see to it that it is neither too oily nor too dry.

... dandruff sufferer and a non-sufferer lies in the renovation process of the dead skin cells. While it takes up to 28 days for healthy skin, the cycle for a dandruff sufferer is reduced to two to seven days.

Make use of a mild shampoo which is non medicated. Do not use strong anti-dandruff shampoos they may further worsen the situation. The ingredient selenium sulfide or zinc pyrithione can work for you. It stints the growth of the scalp cells, anything with salicylic acid will loosen up the flakes. Infection due to dry conditions and itching can be minimised with anti bacterial shampoo.

In case of severe scalp conditions, tar based shampoos are used. Do not rinse these shampoos too quickly, leave them on for 5 to 10 minutes minimum. While shampooing, gently massage your scalp with your fingertips; this will help to loosen scales and flakes. But don't scratch your scalp. Scratching your scalp can lead to sores and you don't want them to develop on your scalp. There are several natural and organic products available in the market.
