Natural Dandruff Shampoo

The ‘New Year’ is around the corner and so are the parties, and what better color to wear for a party than black. Women can wear the little black dress, an all time favorite, and men can probably wear a black shirt pair with a coinciding pant for almost any party they plan to attend. However, the right to wear black only comes with a license; think on the lines of the advertising efforts of a well-to-do shampoo brand. The license basically stands to certify that you are free of dandruff, or that there may not be a million ‘specks of white’ on your ‘little black dress’ or your black shirt. If dandruff, however, is an issue for you and despite trying a thousand random things it refuses to bid farewell to your follicles, don’t fret, for help has finally arrived. Read on for three extremely beneficial natural dandruff shampoo recipes. These shampoos, provided you learn to capitalize on their advantages, are almost guaranteed to lead you on to a future completely free of dandruff.

Instructions
  • Even before beginning with the process of preparing the shampoo, you will have to take necessary precautions to ensure that only real oils are allowed. For a natural dandruff shampoo, synthetic oils are simply not allowed.
  • Get yourself a medium sized bowl and pour in all the oils. Take extra care to not spill the oils. Mix the oils with a spatula or a wooden spoon.
  • Once you are done with mixing the oils, carefully and with a steady hand pour the oils into the shampoo bottle that should contain eight ounces of the shampoo. Shake the shampoo bottle vigorously or until you’re sure that all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
