Any good remedy to prevent dandruff...?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Olive Oil: Other than the over the counter dandruff shampoo that is available there are prescription strength which can work even more effectively. Since dryness is often due to a dry scalp, rubbing olive oil into the scalp a few times a week can help. I often recommend leaving it in for several hours prior to showering.
