Just pour some Listerine over your scalp. The original Listerine.
Listerine?!!! Whow!
Well but probably a good germ killer as well. Could be harsh though.
Less is more. The milder the shampoo and the fewer you wash them, the better.
2 times a week is actually enough. Brush softly to remove dust and enhance blood circulation.
Thanks, I'll give some of those ideas a shot, and see what happens. As for barber bills, I've never paid for a haircut in my life. My mom used to cut my hair, and I've found people or just done it myself I'm sure that there are a few people (some of my bosses) that would appreciate the death of the 'hawk, but its such a part of who I am, I can't really part with it yet....
I've never really thought about over-washing hair being bad for the scalp, but I guess it could be. at least now I have some ideas!
Don't even ask what Tom Jones did with Listerine! :eek:Quote:

GadgetGeek, take it slow!
When you're used to daily shower and hair wash now, don't change abruptly.
Try to stretch the periods between hair wash slowly.
Nagarmotha essential oil is great for the scalp btw.
Indian hair care products.

Program on TV the other night with doctors discussing medical problems, hit on the dandruff thing. According to them it is caused by a fungal infection like athletes foot. They recommended some products to use but my memory fails me on the recall. They did say to ask at your chemist. :shrug:

Yes thats why I recommended tea tree oil.
Probably a sour rinse after wash would help for a better skin protection as well.
Today I've heard rosemary infused in vodka would be good.
The vodka extracts the rosemary EOs which help to disinfect as well.
thanks for the added ideas, my current shampoo is pretty rosemary heavy it seems. I've lived with the dandruff so long that I suspect it has another cause, it's not the normal flakes on the shoulders kind of dandruff, more like, stuck to the scalp cement layer.
I appreciate the ideas though, I'll give the tea tree oil a shot for a while and see how that goes. my scalp has had so many chemicals on it it's not funny, but none of them have had all that much benefit, save the head and shoulders a bit.
