flaky scalp!!!!!!!


Question Posted Saturday January 2 2010, 1:15 am

so, i've had a flaky scalp for a while now. and i've tried every single possible dandruff shampoo possible, nothing works. even selsun blue. like i said, I'VE TRIED IT ALL.

but the weird thing about my dandruff, there isn't much flakes so much as there are egg looking things. but i KNOW FOR A FACT i don't have lice, because i've had lice before. and i would have been itching really really badly. but i don't know how else to explain the stuff in my hair.

does anyone have any at home remedies that i could do? for someone on a budget? thanks.

Tea tree oil might help you. You can find if at most drugstores or health food stores (like Trader Joe's). It can help, since it is a natural antiseptic- might help with killing whatever it is that causes the dandruff (it's either bacterial or fungal). Tea tree oil also helps with itching. It is very potent and strong, so using too much is harmful to your scalp. Use a couple of drops, along with your shampoo, and make sure to massage your scalp, and leave it on for at least a few minutes. I don't know for sure if this will help, but it can't hurt. I think it might actually work for you. Tea tree oil can be used for other things as well- bug bites, pimples, cuts/scrapes... it's safe and versatile.

Vinegar! massage into your scalp, leave it on for about 15 minutes, rinse. do it everytime you shower should be gone in a week!

I experienced the same thing last winter, and am starting to once again experience the same thing. Since it's winter, the air is very dry, making your scalp dry as well. The 'dandruff' is just patches of dry skin flaking off. I also tried everything, and sadly enough nothing worked. You could try what Tina said, but nothing worked for me. It just went away on it's own after winter.

I had this before, i know you've said that you've tried everything but i found that herbal essences and Dove conditioner (every other wash) is a good remedy :)
