These foods tend to exacerbate dandruff, reduction or elimination of animal proteins and eating mostly whole grains, fresh vegetables, beans and fruit, avoiding citrus until dandruff clears, diet supplemented with B-complex vitamins which may alleviate dandruff condition, avoiding excess salt, sugar, and alcohol, taking 1 tablespoon of flaxseed oil per day. Flaxseed oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which may be effective in treating a variety of skin conditions including dandruff.
