Get rid of dandruff and itchy scalp in no time!

Dandruff and itchy scalp is a major concern for many people. It is very common in winter or in cold weather. This treatment is borrowed from a Tamil TV show ‘Naatu Maruthuvam’ which is all about Ayurveda and nature cure. I and my husband want to try this. My husband suddenly had bad dandruff and very very very itchy scalp. We experimented this treatment on him. And tadaaaa… All gone in the first wash.

2. After 1 hour, wash your it off thoroughly. 
3. Preferable to soak your hair and scalp for whole night. Use with caution as this recipe is cold for the body. 

Note:

• For dry hair, use a leave in conditioner if necessary.
• These recipes conditions well and holds good for all types of hair.
•  Use until dandruff stops completely and stops reoccurring (reoccurring may be due to other factors as well).  
• If the smell is too much for you to bare, add few drops of essential oil to the mixture.

• Mild irritation might occur.

I know it is weird to have this on your head but trust me this really works. It worked on my husband, it worked on my cousin and she still continues to use the milk recipe as a natural conditioner for hair.

The other way is to do a hot oil treatment. Every treatment takes time to show result. You can alter the amount of ingredents in the recipe according to you hair length and comfort. At the same time altering too much might not work as well.
