Many people suffer from dandruff problems and no-one really knows what causes it.
My personal cure is to rinse your hair after shampooing with half a cup of apple cider vinegar mixed with half a cup of warm water.
Rub it into the scalp and leave to dry – do not rinse out.
Do this every time you wash your hair until the dandruff disappears.
I also found this recipe in an old recipe book: slice up a handful of lemon leaves and steep in two litres of boiling water. When cool, use this lemon water to shampoo hair and then rinse. Do this every week until the dandruff goes, then once every six weeks.
