I have always had a serious dandruff issue. I am sure it is eczema of the scalp. My sister and I have the same issue. I know its not a fungus. I think relaxers affect my scalp and make my scalp dry hence the dandruff. I have been doing two things.
1). When I clarify and shampoo, I dilute it and I apply with an applicator bottle. I let it sit for a few minutes so it can work my scalp and hair and then rinse. I then fill the applicator bottle with pure water and rinse my scalp 3 times. I also rinse with the applicator bottle and water after I condition. So after shampooing and DCing my hair is clean and moisturized but my scalp has no build up.
2). My ghetto concoction. I mixed some unrefined coconut oil and pure tea tree oil. I used a fork to "wisk" it and did not measure. I was heavy with the tea tree and you can really smell it in the mixture but thats ok for me. I then needed a container to put this concoction in. All of our rubbermaid containers in my house were missing lids
. So I took an old small bottle of sulfur 8, scooped out the product, and thoroughly cleaned the container. I added my mixture to it (Didn't feel like driving to the store for containers) lol Surprisingly, the next morning, the mixture was the perfect consistency. Usually coconut oil lumps up, but this formed perfectly and was the perfect consistency. I applied this to my scalp 2 times this week and have not seen 1 flake and it felt sooo good on my scalp and absorbed very nicely.
Just wanted to share
