It highlights that while dandruff cannot be completely eradicated, it can be controlled. The study focuses on the development and evaluation of an herbal shampoo as an alternative to synthetic antifungal agents, which can cause side effects such as hair loss and nausea.

The study suggests that herbal shampoos may be more effective and safer than synthetic drugs for treating dandruff.
