There is nothing worse than going out on that great date and you are all dressed up in your little black dress to find out that your little black dress has tiny white flakes all over your shoulders because you have dandruff. And dandruff can be quite difficult at time to get rid of. So you have a problem…and now you know it…so what are you going to do about it? You could spend a fortune on those costly shampoos and conditioners that could or could not work for you. Or you could try some natural remedies that have been know to work for many. Personally, I prefer these methods because lets face it…you just never know what is in that so called “miracle” shampoo. Sure it will get rid of your dandruff today but if you use it long enough is some of the ingredients in it that have not been tested going to cause you to have cancer? There are many ingredients in things like shampoos and toothpastes that have not been tested…which is why I prefer the natural methods that are usually much safer.

Here is a couple that you could try and these remedies are a lot cheaper too! There are many things that you can rub on your scalp such as ginseng, avocado, soybean, garlic, fava beans and my favorite elderberry. Try making some elderberry tea and using it as a prince. You could also make a grapefruit seed oil rinse which will make your hair smell so nice. And did you know that having the grapefruit scent on you will make you appear to be 6 years younger! Another way to get rid of that dandruff would be to crush some aspirin in your shampoo.

Be sure to brush your hair at least once a day and don’t be afraid of all the hair that may fall out. You lose at least between 100 and 150 hairs a day..that is totally normal! Another rinse I love to make is a celandine rinse and this is great for dry skin as well as hives and warts.

And remember…dry skin and a dry scalp that causes you dandruff could be brought on by stress. So relax because your daily stresses could be causing your nightly stresses of dandruff. Prevention is the best method of treatment! Also the sun is not always our enemy. Make sure you get out in the sun for 15 minutes a day. Don’t go out without that sunblock though even in the winter months.

And if you want to get rid of that dandruff as well as bringing out your natural highlights then try making a beet juice, lemon or white vinegar rinse.

Another thing you can do if give yourself or better yet have your partner give you a scalp massage with a little almond oil, avocado oil, coconut oil, tea tree oil or aloe vera. Even honey is great for a scalp massage but just be sure to wash it out afterwards.

Then there are things you can do like not to over blow dry or over shampoo your hair. And to help get rid of dandruff you should cut back on your refined sugars as well as your alcohol intake.

Try some of these and start to see your flakes fly away…the only place for flakes are in your cereal bowl or falling from the winter sky!
