• Mix together 6 tablespoons of hot water and 2 tablespoons of white vinegar. Apply to the hair and scalp and cover with a towel or shower cap. Leave in overnight then rinse. Repeat twice per week
• Apply white vinegar directly to the hair and scalp. Cover with a towel or shower cap and leave in overnight and rinse Lemon and Lime Lemon and lime are both very effective ingredients to help combat dandruff. Both ingredients contain acids which help when fungal or yeast infections are the underlying cause. Lemon juice helps to break down excess build up of sebum while lime juice will not only help to prevent dandruff but it will remove stickiness improving the natural shine of your hair. Try out the following methods: • Massage fresh lemon or lime juice into your hair and scalp. Leave for 15 minutes then rinse and condition.

2. Boil beets for approximately ½ hour in order to completely infuse the water with the essence
