so you rinse with vingear stuff then you wash runse off with water?
thank you soo much for this video…super helpful…thank you soooo much!!!!
i need help. i dye my hair. and before i dyed my hair, my scalp never had many flakes and it itches sometimes. it falls down and all on my shoulders sometimes. it’s very disgusting. what i’m saying is that, when i dyed my hair after the first 2 times, my scalp started becoming like UGLY. and i’m using selsun blue. but not everyday. i use it every other day. do you think i should use it everyday?! thanks for your time!
head and shoulders doesnt work
yeah i think i have a mild case too. its just on my scalp a little bit. not like on my shoulders or anything. but fancifelle the fungus feeds off the oil in your hair, so you have to wash your hair everyday so your hair isnt oily. i think selsun blue works the best it smells kinda funky but whatever. try the vinegar too.
yeah i didnt rinse as good once and my head got all ichy and i had dandrif thanks to my sister for washing and rinseing verey wel it was gone to today so 1anime1lover1
trie levender shampoo my aunt said it made her skin soft and pretty so it mite work on dandrif
can i kill it with fire?
I’ve tried listerine, tomato juice, head and shoulders, tar shampoo, chinese herbal scalp shampoo, etc. Nothing really seems to work.
Mine came on in April after using Burts Bees volumizing shampoo and saying goodbye to my mom(who can’t wash her hair, so her scalp seems sort of like dandruff, did I catch it?). For me, it doesn’t exactly seem dry, I get oily hair fast, I don’t know.

When mine itches i also breakout on my scalp could this prevent it also.
Does the vaporub really work? Also, I have long hair (about half the size of my head), so how am I supposed to rinse my scalp with listerine or vinegar without cutting my hair, since my hair kinda blocks my scalp.
yes, vinegar does work. 1st of all, wash your hair with a dandruff shampoo. Use cool (not hot) water on your scalp at all times. Pour apple cider or clear vinegar on your scalp, being careful to keep it out of your eyes (ouch!). Let it sit on your scalp while you wash the rest of your body…leave on as long as you can. You will be amazed how it kills the itch and minimizes flakes. I have to use it a couple times a week cuz it keeps coming back
i think i have a really mild case of dandruff… my head isnt itchy and there are no flakes in my shoulders, but there are flakes in my hair.
listerine works great
I have dandruff but I don’t really feel itchy at all, my parents say that I should wash my hair really thoroughly after washing my hair with shampoo and conditioner as they say their one of the main causes for it?
yea….ive read in articles that says NOT to switch shampoos beacaus they irritate the scalpe and make it worse….hmmm?
when i switch my head gets even more flaky! i stAY on one shampoo other wize im scratching my head like its a geanies lamp!
Damn you dandruff!
rotation- yep! head and shoulders for some reason dries the shi. out of my mellon every time though. Another hint- good dandruff shampoo can be pretty spendy- so to conserve, use generic cheap stuff first, quickly, to get the grease out. Then you only need 1/2 as much of the far more expensive stuff (which you want to lather up good and let fester on your gourd for a few minutes at least…)
nope. ive heard a lot of things about vinegar. It actually does kinda work. although you should be determined and do it yourself… yes, that means getting your OWN hands dirty and put it in your OWN hair to see the true difference.
I do rinses with apple cider vinegar on my scalp. It does WONDERS for getting rid of itchies.
well… maybe. my mom works on hair. and i know a lot.
like he said.. you just wanna use the anti fungus like head and shoulders… stuff like tht.
you do wanna keep switching. but after you r sure its gone. still keep buying thosse shampoo. im not saying use it everday.. just.., use it like 2 times a month or even more.
because it may come back.
=D
xo-
what do you do with the vineger? i could hear him, do you put it on ur hair? or rinses with it?
he is right. Keepp changing products. Because if you don’t like an antibiotic, your body builds up resistance to it.
My daugther have dandruff for over a year and is getting worst. I do nt kw what to do even going to hair specialist spending thousand of dollars, it still does not work. i will try using vinegar or listerine this week. Hope it will work.
Diana, it’s important to know how old your daughter is. If she is still a pre-teen, it is not unusual for children to get dandruff. Applying an after washing conditioner that is not rinsed out can help.
