How do you manage dandruff with microlocs?

I got my microlocks about a week ago, and I'm looking for advice from people who have dealt with dandruff while having locs.

The thing is, this isn't new for me. Even before getting my microlocks, my scalp would be completely clean after washing but after about 4–5 days the dandruff would start coming back. By the end of the week, I have a lot of dry flakes. This has been happening for some years so I don't think it's because of the locs. I used to wash my hair every once a week but still after few days the dandruff are back.

I really don't know what to do to keep my scalp healthy and my locs clean.

How do you all control dandruff?

I'd really appreciate hearing your routines and any tips that have worked for you.

Title: Will my mini braids mature into microlocs this size, or will they end up thicker?

I recently started my microloc journey with mini braids. My loctician told me that my hair is not very dense, so she installed 147 mini braids.

Photo 1 is my current starter mini braids, and Photo 2 is my inspiration picture. My goal is for my mature locs to be about the same size as the locs in Photo 2.

My question is: based on my parting size and starter braids, do you think my locs will mature to be around that size, or are they likely to become thicker?

I'm not a fan of larger microlocs, so should i just leave them or should i unbraid them and split them into two and by interlocking?

Can i do boho braids on 4 months old microlocs?

Also many of the hair is formed outside the microlocs twist. Is that normal?
