Normally, dandruff is caused by dry or oily skin. Although dandruff isn't a condition that requires medical attention, it can be an embarrassment.
The Coconut Cure
Hot oil treatments are a great way to add moisture to dry, life-less hair. These treatments can also help moisturize the dry, flaky skin on a person's scalp. Pour a teaspoon of coconut oil onto your hair, and massage it into your scalp. Use your fingertips to make sure the oil reaches your scalp and covers it completely. Allow the coconut oil to set for fifteen minutes. Then, wash your hair with a delicate shampoo such as baby shampoo. Avoid using harsh shampoos that can actually strip the natural oil out of your hair. Repeat this process weekly. Not only should it alleviate your dandruff problem, but your hair should be shiny and manageable, and not dry.
