I have a problem with dust particles in my hair. i use anti dandruff shampoo but that hasn't had any effect. my scalp feels normal otherwise.any help?

Dust: Particles or perhaps dry scalp cells? Sometimes a milder shampoo with conditioner and also skipping one day in between in washing may help. If not recommend you see a dermatologist. Good luck!
