Baking soda
Wet your hair and then rub a
handful of baking soda
vigorously into your scalp. Rinse
thoroughly and dry. Do this every
time you normally wash your
hair, but only use baking soda no
shampoo. Your hair may get
dried out first, but after a few
weeks your scalp will be
producing natural oils, leaving
your hair softer and free of flakes.
Lemon
Massage 2 tablespoons of lemon
juice into your scalp and rinse
with water. Then stir 1 teaspoon
lemon juice into 1 cup water and
rinse hair with it. Repeat this
daily until your dandruff
disappears.
Mouthwash
Wash your hair with regular
shampoo; then rinse with an
alcohol-based mouthwash. You
can follow with your regular
conditioner.
Salt
Salt is abrasive so that table salt
comes in handy when it comes
to scraping those flakes off your
head. Shake some salt onto your
dry scalp. Then work it through
your hair, giving your scalp a
massage. Once you’ve worked
out the dry, flaky skin and are
ready for shampoo.
Vinegar
To give your dandruff the brushoff, follow up each shampoo
with a rinse of apple cider
vinegar mixed with 2 cups cold
water. Or you could apply 3
tablespoons vinegar onto your
hair and massaging into your
scalp before you shampoo. Wait
a few minutes, then rinse it out
and wash as usual.
ADVICE FROM
HAIRDRESSERS TO
THE STARS…..

•
Try not to scratch your scalp
when you are washing your
hair. The key is to work up a
good lather and then
massage, with the soft pads
of your fingertips.
On a bad hair day, wash
your hair. It will make you
feel much better and more
confident. But if push comes
to shove and you don’t have
time, tie up your hair in a
ponytail. You can also
accessorise your hair with
an Alice band or stylishly
tie -up a scarf.
