Will shaving my head get rid of dandruff?

I have bad dandruff and all I know to do is shave my head.

Shaving will not necessarily get rid of the dandruff. Dandruff has nothing to do with dry scalp or hair length. You may want to try using a medicated shampoo. Some are very inexpensive and can be bought at most stores by the regular shampoos. If this doesn't work, you might need a prescription from a doctor.

No. Dandruff is caused by an out of control fungal infection, and shaving your head won't help. Look for a shampoo with "ketoconanzole". It is stronger.

Shaving your head probably won't solve the problem as the dandruff is from your scalp, not your hair. Use a prescription strngth dandruff shampoo if over the counter doesn't work.
