Answer
Thanks for the tips, donnabelle.
Unfortunately, it won't do much good for a lot of people, since I didn't have any of those and still got dandruff. The cause? Genes! All members of my family and myself have/had it. We tend to think that the genes play a role in this as well. As far as I know, there isn't much you can do about that.
I would be interested if you knew a bit more info on what to do about damaged hair due to chemical jobs like coloring/perming/bleaching/straightening/etc.

Answer
All very good tips Donnabelle.
One very important remedy for flakey, itchy scalp that is often over looked it RINSING. Some shampoos are very concentrated and will take twice as much rinsing to get them out. Shampoo left on the scalp will resemble dandruff and be almost as uncomfortable.
