If the dandruff shampoo helped, it's probably a low-grade fungal issue. The fungus is native to the scalp and is an important part of the natural ecosystem there, but sometimes the conditions lead to an imbalance and the fungus grows faster than the skin of the scalp is ready to handle. This causes the skin to shed in flakes instead of in nearly-invisible dust, and it's itchy. The dandruff shampoo cuts back on the fungal overgrowth and gives the scalp a chance to heal.
