Well I finally got ACV and I washed my hair. It worked, made itches go away, but made my hair super straight again ha ha, but after 4 days it started to separate again. Yesterday I just washed my hair with 2 cups of water and 5 drops of rosemary(try not to use Baking Soda all the time). Well....my head seems to build up dandruff in just 1-2 days kinda annoying -___- not itchy Dandruff, but it's there. Is there any way to like...slow the process down or is it just natural. Probably because of my genetics??Any help would be dope. Please and thank you

Should Dandruff build up so quickly?

What do you mean by "getting at" ? I just wanna make sure if I'm on the right page as you lol. How do essential oils reduce it? I thought to much could cause irritation? And where do you find Dr. Bronnars soap? I have read about it, but I don't understand it 100%. How do you dilute it/use it? Chewin Change said:
dandruff will always build up but essential oils can reduce the amount. every time you wash you should be lightly "getting at" your scalp to loosen up the dandruff. and washing with water and a little oil is not washing... that's a rinse... i suggest trying dr. bronnars.

I'm not sure how long you've been dreading but ACV is pretty conditioning so you may want to hold off on using it if it's un-knotting your progress. If you still feel you need to use it for your scalp try putting it in a squeeze bottle(you can find them at beauty supply stores) and just concentrate it on your scalp, no the hair itself.

Put it in a squeeze bottle....hmmm maybe. But yeah SE I used COLD COLD COLD water when I rinse. O chewie so you only had 1 drop of the DR.B stuff?? Hmm so many different styles of washing the scalp @.@ NaturalWomyn said:

Where do you get Maylee's bar?? O another thing, my hair isn't really oily. Also SE I'm getting pretty bad dandruff, it's all chunky sometimes get caught in my hair it you'll see white specks kinda sucks -___-. But I use like 2 cups water a 1tbsp of baking soda, after I rinse then add ACV and the oils and leave that in for 10 minutes. (10 mins for the BS also)....Idk what I'm doing wrong @__@All I could think of is the Florida humidity...idk. Chewin Change said:
cool do you have any residue from the maylees bar SE?
i've always struggled with dandruff even with straight hair; dandruff shampoos only seemed to make it worse as did dhhq and dr. bronners peppermint liquid soap. today i sit flake free with not itch or irritation or embarassment after one wash.on saturday i made a strong bs/acv rinse, 3/4 cup bs in a gallon pitcher and a tbs of sea salt and poured it over my head making sure to get all parts of the scalp covered, chilled and smoked a bowl, 15-20 minutes i rinsed with acv, i did a gallon with about 3-4 tbs, sloppy measureing so im sorry it's not accurate, but again, poured over the head slowly to make sure i got it everywhere, chilled for another few minutes while i made one for the girlfriend too then got in the shower to wash it out.did it for me and my gf and we both liked it better than dr. bs, we're clean and flake free today, and it was much less trouble than tring to wash out the soap. i think i did the acv to strong for our dreads<6weeks and 2 weeks> but we're not complaining at all

As for Soaring eagle's story with the doctors, OUCH... Man that does seem like torture!I'm with Davey with the fact that dandruff shampoo's don't really help much. Some will only "tame" the dandruff, but will resurface in 1-2 days. I've even used the stronger one's like T-Gel that have salicylic acid and that would remove the dandruff but leave something that looked like scarring so my headline would have this red scar where the dandruff would've been.So the only solution I found was buying some prescribed shampoo @ Mexico where people don't have money to visit doctors so A LOT of prescribed medicine can be found easily. So yup I had a scalp condition...... And I would love to try these more natural approaches but Man its confusing with all the ingredients and different measurements.One question thought, what is ACV that I keep reading? Davey said:
