Is this true? Dandruff is the layer formed on the scalp from small pieces of dead skin cells. If you start using salt for your hair, it will stimulate the circulation and eliminate the existing dandruff flakes. Moreover, salt protects the scalp from fungal growth. All you should do is divide your hair into sections, sprinkle 1-2 teaspoons of salt on your scalp and massage with wet fingers for around 10 minutes. Then wash as usual. I read this in an article in internet. I have dandruff product since teenage in all season. Only in summer its less. I can follow above?

Not like that. You are suffering from seborrheic dermatitis. Medicine available for good improvement. Do direct online consultation by sending photos, otherwise meet me at my clinic, for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
