Please note, I don't have medical background. Should you require further information and clarification, please consult real doctors.

According to Mayoclinic.com, there are several ways to reduce dandruff.

-- quote --
- Learn to manage stress.
- Shampoo often
- Cut back on styling products.
- Eat a healthy diet.
- Get a little sun.

Should these home remedies are not working, you can try specialist shampoo like

-- quote --
- Zinc pyrithione shampoos (such as Selsun Salon, Head & Shoulders).
- Tar-based shampoos (such as Neutrogena T/Gel).
- Shampoos containing salicylic acid (such as Ionil T).
- Selenium sulfide shampoos (such as Selsun Blue).
- Ketoconazole shampoos (such as Nizoral).
-- end quote --

Finally, should dandruff still exists, you need to talk to your doctor or dermatologist. According to MayoClinic,

you may need a prescription-strength shampoo or more aggressive treatment with a steroid lotion.

Many people have achieved great success with Sunsilk's Anti-dandruff Scalp Lotion. You apply it after you have shampooed and conditioned your hair and leave it on ... not greasy at all!

Also, when choosing your shampoos and conditioners, opt for those containing tea tree oil.
