Conditioners? I never heard of those, just the shampoo's. Selson was really hard on the skin burnt like mad, it's why I don't use that shampoo any more. Nazirol helps and doesn't burn I can even use it on my face. but like I said I didn't know there's a conditioner to the shampoo.

Seriously TFB, have you ever tried the dandruff conditioners? I bet it would help make a huge difference and you can avoid having to wash your hair as much - so you won't have the issues with your hair drying out.
Personally I wouldn't use most of the commercial dandruff products, because they tend to be rather aggressive, especially if you do have a skin condition that can get aggravated as they do tend to be a bit too harsh. Might be well worth looking into making your own, rose marine (sp) and cider vinegar tend to solve the problems quite often, to avoid the hair getting too dry, have some conditioner (if you have very dry hair olive oil or real mayonnaise products are quite good, don't know any recipes off the top of my head as I tend to have slightly more oily hair - my wop heritage - but just google for it) but don't apply them to your scalp, just your hair a few centimeters off the scalp, same with shampoos, use them on your scalp and then rinse.
The natural products are a bit of a pain to make but they work so much better (and cheaper) than shop bought products, a lot of them you canlast almost indefinitely, and you just make a batch and fill them into small containers (plastic or glass that are left overs from food - after cleaning them of course), then take the containers out a few hours before you need them, so you don't have to go through the process of making them all the time.
Also henna powder (perfect for hair and scalp, especially if you suffer from dandruff or any kind of fungal infection), dirt cheap, if you don't want the red tint, expose it to air and light for a while (open glass container which you stir regularly) and it loses the colour pigments, then mix a big batch and put it into several containers and use it once every 2 weeks as a conditioner or hair treatment, leave it on for a few hours (lots of other things you can mix in as well which will help with dandruff, like rosemarine or cider vinegar - if you have a plastic shower cap, it's ideal) you'll have really healthy and shiny hair that feels a lot thicker and your scalp just won't itch anymore, though it is important that you do rinse it out throughly. I would recommend a mix of egg, oil and sugar for the last conditioning treatment - which also helps to rinse it out completely as the mud can be a bit sticky, personally I usually go with the Pantene or Vidal Sassoon (sp) hair treatment as it seems to not upset my scalp but your reaction might be different and if you do have a brand that works for you, stick with it.
As to your weight, you HAVE to do something about it, it's a burden on your system and it doesn't help your skin condition one bit, try to cut out processed food and sugar, have fruit and veg available for snacks and keep on walking dogs, much much more effective than going to the gym, you don't need a treadmill, you can just walk and extend the walks a bit all the time, leg crunches you can do yourself, sit ups, push ups and any kind of aerobic exercise you can do yourself, doesn't matter how much you do, just that you notice you are getting better at it. And try and eat as little processed food or junk food as possible, tons of additives that really really mess with your system, not only your skin.
