If you’ve ever wondered what all that white stuff coming off your head is, we’ll give you a hint – it’s not a major weatherYogurt system, it’s just dandruff. Get the 411 on this scalp condition that is totally treatable
Steps:
Yogurt 

   1. Yogurt is recommended as a hair conditioner. Wash and rinse the hair, then rub yogurt into the scalp, and leave for 10-15 minutes.
   2. Rinse, then wash again, using as little shampoo as necessary. An infusion of thyme, nettle or sage with 2 tablespoons of vinegar can be used as a final rinse. To make an infusion, fresh or dried herbs can be used in loose or tea-bag form. Warm a teapot and put in 1 dessert spoon of herb for each cup required. Pour in a cup of boiling water for each cup of tea; allow to steep for 10-15 minutes.Cedar_Wood_Chips

Cedar wood 

  1. Mix essential oils of cedar wood (seven drops) cypress and juniper (each ten drops) in 50ml of carrier oil.
   2. Rub well into the scalp and leave for one hour. To remove, rub neat, mild shampoo into the hair, then wash out with warm water.
   3. To keep dandruff at bay, use the same quantities of the oils in 600ml of warm water. Stir well and use as a final rinse.

Coconut Oil coconut oil

   1. Massage hair with coconut oil mixed with the juice of one lemon. Follow it with a hot towel treatment. The massage really boosts bloods circulation.

Apple Cider Vinegar

   1. Wash your hair normally, then pour vinegar carefully onto hair and scrub into your scalp, taking care not to let any get into your eyes. If you have psoriasis or any unhealed scratch or scab, it will burn. (If it burns, just rinse the affected area with water or, if you’re like me, see how long you can stand it).
   2. Leave on for 10-15 minutes, then rinse with water. The vinegar smell will disappear once your hair is dry.
   3. Repeat daily for about a week. This works because, as it turns out, dandruff is caused by a fungus, and there isn’t a fungus around that cares for vinegar. Lemon

Lemon Juice

   1. Apply fresh lemon juice to hair in the shower.
   2. Massage in. 
   3. Then rinse.
Tips:
    * There’s always anti-dandruff shampoo!
    * Try not to scream if some oil gets in your eyes or ears.
    * Wash your hair regularly.
    * If any vinegar gets into your eyes, rinse immediately with clear water. It burns, but won’t do any real damage. Follow up with a saline solution (very soothing). Visine may also help with the redness.
    * Really, If you do not have time to pick up anything at the store; mix 1 part mouthwash with 9 parts water after washing your hair. Simply dump the mixture over your head and style as normal. Do not rinse out. This is a healthy thing to do to prevent dandruff about once a month.
    * Try switching shampoos every other night. Don’t keep using the same one every day.
    * If you keep getting flakes, you might have scalp psoriasis or seborrheic dermatitis. See a dermatologist for tips.
    * when you start using anti-dandruff shampoos and stop the dandruff may come back worse than before.
    * Baby oil helps heal dry scalp which is often involved with dandruff. The baby oil will soak into the scalp, relieving the itch
    * Shave your head if all else fails.
