!!!!!!!!!!!!!!i"ll give you 10 points if you answer!!!!!!!!!!!!?
Ok, so like when i was in 5th grade i had a disgustingly amount of dandruff,greasy hair, and pimples. But, that was because I was going through puberty. But now, im in 7th grade and im getting dandruff. I mean, i havent had a problem with my hair for 2 years so what gives? Im pretty pissed because i remember when i was in 5th grade i was insecure about my hair and now i have to go through it again? i take a shower everyday. if i miss a day then i feel nasty OK so heres what i do with my hair: 1.i use pantene pro-v for my shampoo and conditioner (volumizer for shampoo and softener for conditioner). i use the shampoo first (about a dollor coin sized but a little smaller) then i use the conditioner (i put the conditioner mostly on the bottom of my hair because i have long hair and it always gets tangled. and i use a little on the top. For the bottom of my hair i use a quarter sized amount and for the top i use a dime sized amount) 2. i blowdry my hair on hot-high upside down for volume. 3. them i just style my hair the way i always do it. Am i doing something wrong? please answer im sick of my hair already >:(

The pantene shampoo is where your going wrong, i used a volume one, switched to head and shoulders colour care shampoo and haven't had a problem, i use tresemme deep conditioners weekly too. Strange thing is, some pantene shampoo's i've used have been fine. I just don't bother with it anymore.
Because your hair is long, it doesn't do it very good washing it everyday, that could be where your going wrong too, long hair NEEDS oil on it to stay hydrated. Or it becomes dry and breaks. Head and shoulders do a good range of shampoos and conditoners, so you'll find one for your hair needs.
Okay you need to change your shampoo and conditioner! Just because you've been using this brand on your hair doesn't mean your hair will always come out nice and shiny and dandruff free, hair can suck at the best of times! Try another brand that helps with dandruff. Also go to your local drug store to purchase something for dandruff too

There are tons of home brew dandruff cures out there, every family likely knows of a different one that they will swear by to cure dandruff. Here I'll list some of the most commonly recommended concoctions.
1. Hawiian Tea Tree LeavesTea tree oil
Tea tree oil has an anti-fungal quality and can be mixed into lotions, oils and shampoos. Massage the mixture into the scalp and let it sit for 15 minutes prior to rinsing clean.
2. Coneflower and red clover extracts
Aveda has a product named "Scalp Remedy" that is growing in popularity. It contains both coneflower and red clover extracts, comes with a dropper and is applied directly to the scalp after you shower.
3. Oil soaks
Scalp massages with moisturizing oils an hour or so before bathing are said to rejuvenate a dry scalp. Skin lotions will likely work as well.
4. Vinegar rinses
Some people have reported success after rinsing their hair with white or apple cider vinegar prior to bathing. It may have something to do with correcting your hair's PH balance.
I use pantene too! You may want to switch to selsum blue a few times a week to help with your dandruff problems. For greasy hair, you can sprinkle a LITTLE baby powder to help if from looking greasy. It always helps keep your hair straight throughout the day :)
