Attack of the Snowy Monster! (Also known as me.)
I have a confession to make. For the past couple of months, I have had awful dandruff. When I say awful, I mean just flakes, but it's still embarrassing! I know, I know. I'm a gross monster. Either that, or I'm the new Snow White. Which ever one I may be, having dandruff totally sucks! I know most people I see and deal with every day probably don't notice or care in the least bit, but I always feel like it's much worse and avoid wearing dark colors and style my hair according to the severity of my burden on that particular day. So far, I have tried Neutrogena T/Gel, extra virgin olive oil, cold water while washing my hair (Which isn't pleasant in the winter. I don't care if I live in Southern California!), and even washing every other day, but none of those have worked for me yet. I just did a little research and have been finding a lot of good responses to ACV, or apple cider vinegar, and have also seen good responses to baking soda. I also found this article on Listerine and how it might also help clear up dandruff.
You better believe I'm out the door just as soon as I finish typing...
Wish me a flake free scalp by noon! Or else I might just dye my hair white and accept defeat.
P.S. Sorry if this was TMI.
P.P.S. I will definitely tell you if any of these remedies work out for me.
