Homemade dandruff fixer?

[sweetcorn]

Tea tree oil is a natural anti dandruff substance . You can buy shampoos with it in there or buy the tea tree oil and mix it with your own shampoo in a 5 percent concentration aka 1 ounce of tea tree oil for every 20 ounces of shampoo.
This tip was given to me by a cosmetologist friend for the hubby and it worked.

I have had persistent dandruff since "forever." Turns out it's a reaction to fragrances and citrus ingredients. I started using a hair gel that contains a little bit of citrus (orange oil) and I figured it was okay since my hands weren't reacting to it. Nope. Dandruff came back. I found a similar product that is fragrance and citrus free but I was planning to use up what I had before ordering anything new.

Baking soda worked great to exfoliate and remove the flakes. Discontinuing the hair gel kept dandruff from restarting.

Sharing because dandruff isn't always a microorganism problem! Might be as easy as switching or discontinuing hair products.

Your hair type would be appreciated! I have extremely curly hair and I realized I just wasn’t moisturizing them enough! Dandruff/dry skin- gone!

I have 3a and 3b curls. The product that gave me dandruff was DevaCurl Arc Angel gel. I ordered LUS fragrance free. I have been using bar conditioner from The Earthling Co which I like just fine. I'm curious about the LUS products because I have seen rave reviews.

oh my, I just noticed the typo in the pic I pasted above! Top right corner is supposed to be 2c! Are you real 3c or typo 3c?

I love my hair so much and I wish I had listened to my mother sooner. AfroKinkyHair on Etsy has saved my life. I love that woman. https://www.etsy.com/shop/Afrokinkyhair

Wow, her shampoo bars look awesome! Thank you for sharing! I'd rather buy from a craftsperson than a company.
