Keep your scalp healthy
Seborrheic dermatitis damages the scalps outer layer of skin, so you need to keep your scalp healthy to help repair the damage.
It also relies on scalp oils in order to feed the Malassezia so try to use a clarifying shampoo regularly that removes oil to leave your hair feeling soft and clean.
