need conditioner and aggressive rubbing it in/scalp self-massage to avoid dandruff.

Curious: Does conditioner help you avoid dandruff? Any explanation as to how it does?

Oops, that was unclear.

The conditioner helps with styling it / keeping it feeling smooth and pliable. Especially since I still shampoo once or twice a week for additional dandruff control, which wipes out some of the natural oils.

The aggressive rubbing is the part that does the daily dandruff control. Seems to exfoliate the dead skin.
