I'm a bit confused about how to use Salytar solution for my dandruff. Should I dampen my hair before applying it, or is it fine to just put it straight on dry hair? And after I apply it, do I need to wash my hair with shampoo or will rinsing with water be enough?

apply it on damp hair and wash it off with water and follow your doctors advice
