    Re: Dealing With Dandruff

    To remove Dandruff:
    1) Add 1 teaspoon of camphor to half a cup of coconut or neem oil. Store it in glass container.
    Dosage: Massage this oil into the scalp before bed.
    2) Mix 1 teaspoon of castor, mustard and coconut oil each and massage into the scalp.
    3) Mix one part of lemon juice with two parts of coconut oil. Massage into the roots of the hair regularly.
    4) You can use good quality coconut or mixture of almond and olive oil. Apply any of these mildly warmed oils to your hair and gently massage into your scalp evenly with your fingertips. Leave on overnight if you can, if not, leave on for at least an hour or two and then wash hair.

    Regards

    Re: Dealing With Dandruff

    Hi Sunkan,

    Can u pls tell me where i can i buy shikakai pods and reetha in bangalore ( in and around fraser town). i want to buy it and grind it in mill, also do u know where to look for grinding mills. my mom used to add lemon, orange peels etc with shikakai and it used to smell good.

    I have dry white flakes but not at all itchy, comes only when i use shampoo or conditioner, when i use shikakai it is very clean and good. i read somewhere that this is not dandruff but not sure what it is.

    TIA.

    dear priya,
    you can try at the herbal shop in old poor house road opposite lane to the mosque, but now u get wonderful shikakai powder in meera the branded one it has usilamthazhai a green leaf powder and green gram which is very good for the hair, all u need is to dry the lemon and orange peel and powder it and mix it with these, u will get the same benefit..sunkan

    Re: Dealing With Dandruff

    Thankyou so much, Sunkan, have noted it down. Is meera shikakai pure shikakai or when we use it in scalp does it foam. becos when i was young i used it and remember it has foam just like shampoo in it but it is a shikakai powder.
    if it foams then i dont prefer it, becos of scalp issues i want something which doesn't foam. i have never heard of usilamthazhai... is it arappu? arappu is also a green leaf powder used for washing hair in tamilnadu.

    Can u also tell me where i can find a grinding mill?

    Thanks.

    Re: Dealing With Dandruff

    Thanks Sunkan, will try the meera powder.
    I remember i used a green powder when i was young and used to hate it.becos it was difficult to rinse it. or maybe i used usilamthazhai powder.but those days my hair was too good. now its becoming worse.

    Priya.

    Have any of you tried applying coconut-milk to you hair and leave it for 20-30 minutes. It did wonders to my hair :)
