I wanted to touch on something that I have come to terms with as a naturalista.
I will always have dandruff and split ends.
The split ends I can deal with. Using the 'search and destroy' method soothes my minor OCD and is oddly therapeutic when combined with a good Netflix marathon of HIMYM, New Girl, or Orange is the New Black.
Dandruff on the other hand will continue to annoy me. I have tried basically everything under the sun:
Dermatologist prescribed medicated shampoo and gel? Ugh. Yes.
Over the counter cleansers and treatments? Yup.
Coconut Oil? Love it, but no dice.
I've also tried teatreeoilapplecidervinegarrinsesblacksoaphoneyhennaneemshikakaipaste and justabouteverythingundermymothersbathroomsink.
Sadly, it all begins to run together after some point.
Recently, out of frustration, I whipped mango butter and some moisturizing oils I had on hand. The result: less flakes, some itching, and a semi happy scalp.
The verdict is still out on this blend, but I think it's working. The true test will be if it survives this winter dryness.
I'd love to hear what works for you. Send me an email sosheeba@gmail.com, I'm willing to try anything (that I haven't) at this point.
Happy growing.
