    I´ve used it twice and my dandruff came back after about a month free :(

    I got no where to run now cause they sell no organic shampoos here. Actually I did find one, but apparently it left residue on my hair. (found this yellow stuff on my hair, nasty...) It also left a hard smell.

    I can't do water only because my hair is way too greasy. I also found that I can't go longer than 2 days without a wash, or my dandruff comes back hard. Soooo, the question is, how often can I use baking soda with tea tree oil, and how much should I use? (tried a tbsp per cup but that seems to be too drying, i guess that's what brought my dandruff back)

    Also how often can I do rosemary soaks, and what should i do so I don't get aloe vera residue on my hair? I mean, how should I extract the gel? because I always found some white "strings" when I used it about two months ago (for about a month).

    Does anyone experience excessively oily scalp with dandruff?

    Dandruff is natural man. Stop being such a square.

    whatever works for you...

    in my opinion, you are overthinking it... not over-washing it.

    this is my plan:
    wing it and wash when i feel like my head is dirty




    PS-i wish you would stop posting about shampoo concoctions... is that all you ever think about?

    Im not overwashing, never said i was. Sorry to bother you, I just want some help since my head is messed up. Probably you would too if your scalp itched like a bitch every fucking day. And probably I would stop posting on this if I did get some help. Luckily, i will get it from someone that isn't you.

    still have some, perhaps I was using too much so it left residue? or mayb not washing how i was supposed to? (squeezing dreads while with the soap on hair) my dreads felt very greasy.. but im unsure if its just the oil on my scalp getting in...

    To Me The Answer Seems Quite Simple....:).

    Use Baking Soda, *half a tablespoon per litre*.

    Start Off Washing Every Day, And See What Happens.

    If It's Too Dry, Wash Every Second Day.

    If It's Still Greasy And Nasty, Wash Twice A Day.

    If All Of The Above Fails, Do What Was Suggested Months Ago To You,

    Consult A Professional...*dermatologist*, Because There Is Clearly

    Something Going On With Your Scalp, That No-One Here Is Qualified

    To Diagnose....:).



    Cheers Glen.

    i have alot of clients that complain of dandruff and itchy scalp and oilyness ill tell u want i tell them apple cider vinger and make sure to stimulate yer scalp and to calm the itchyness ( and doesnt hurt with oilyness) u should try dabbing witch hazel on yer scalp... but seriously stimulate yer scalp that is most likely where most of yer problems r coming from becuase it doesnt sound like yer scalp is very healthy to me

    Sometimes I Increase It To A Full Tablespoon,*per litre* But That Usually

    Is Only I Have Been Working On The Farm All Day, And My Hair And Scalp

    Are, Oily, Greasy, Dirty, And Sweaty..:eek:.

    Remember, What Works For Me, Doesn't Necessarly Work For Others.

    Good Luck, And I Hope You Find A Solution To Your Problem..:).



    Cheers Glen.

    Try exfoliating with a pick with a vegan anti-dandruff shampoo (of which to your own discretion).
    Be sure to not make any "combing" motions but scrub that scalp.
