I struggled with this. I'm male with fairly short hair. I tried all the medicated shampoos, the coal tar scented rubbish and everything. My flaking was never super bad but it was persistent.

After talking to a pharmacist he gave me a bit of advice that has allowed me to entirely get rid of it. I wasn't drying my hair/scalp enough. Towel dry is not enough for me, so I use a hair dryer on a low temperature whenever I wash my hair. I wash my hair probably three times a week and if I dry it well I have no flaking or any issues.

Can you say what about having wet hair lead to the flaking? I also have fairly short hair and I never considered having wet hair as a cause of dandruff.

I can't say exactly why, it was just advice I was given and has worked very well for me.
