for a hot oil treatment - instead fo buying the stiff they make go to the store, get unrefined extra virgin olive oil, i like to heat it up a bit, just a little not to hot, massage it into your hair and scalp, and put a plastic bag, maybe some aluminum foil on, wait for maybe 20 minutes. i like to put in on when i go to the laundry mat, while i'm folding i get really warm from pulling everything out of the dryer, it seems like a self heat thing, u can leave it in longer than 20, heat helps it to penetrate the cuticle of the hair shaft, then shampoo a few times, ussually ur hair will feel a lot softer and look healthier. if you have fine hair, make sure to rinse with a volumizing or clairifying shampoo a few times, the extra oil may weigh ur hair down, same if u have an oily scalp.

I read somewhere that apple cider vinegar is good for the hair...or was it dandruff...anyway I tried it, and let me just say that while it worked, I couldn't rinse off the smell! Took me like five washings and there was still a faint smell of the vinegar =(

[sandeep0509]

amla oil only

tea tree is great for dandruff, i was searching online and tried apple cider vinegar too and what i do is put the apple vinegar on my scalp let it sit then wash and condition my hair then i style as usual and grease my scalp with pure tea tree oil (depending on how bad your scalp is you can dilute the teatree with olive oil or almond oil but i have bad scalp) you can grease it every other day depending on how bad your scalp is.  It really does work

Informative information all the details given very nicely and point wise so easy to understood .you drink a lot of water as water contains minerals.The minerals are then 100% bioavailable because they have been naturally chelated by the . Mineral complexes from rock, clay, salt beds or lakes are inorganic because they have never been assimilated by a plant and reduced to an ionic form. The body can only assimilate about 10% of an inorganic mineral complex.
