I just noticed I got dandruff! My scalp is a little itchy, but not too bad. I ran my fingers through my hair, and my scalp and the hair near it is dry. The rest of my hair is is a bit greasy but it is day 2. It's very small, but I can see white flecks in my hair. I went looking through the tags and found some posts.
What I gleaned from them:
Henna is good for it.
Tea tree oil is good put a diluted little bit on the scalp.
White vinegar to rinse before you wash. Even diluted lemon juice can help.
Rosemary, and some other herbs used as tea rinses.
I want to dye my hair red again, so I can do the henna, no problem. My question is should I do a moisturizing hair mask before I do it, and what should I use?
My plan for the henna session is:
I have red and auburn henna colour, I would mix it with rosemary & parsley brewed with red teas and add a couple of cloves. I then would strain it out and add it to my henna, and add a couple of drops of tea tree oil.
Does this sound like a good anti-dandruff/dyeing mix?
Every night I braid my hair and put it under a kerchief to make my pillow last a little longer as I my hair gets very oily, is this exacerbating the issue?
