Make Your Own Anti-Dandruff Shampoo

By Clair Saunders-Grant

Apparently cypress is quite effective in treating

dandruff, but as I don't like the smell particularly, I

added a few other ingredients to make it more

interesting.

50 g (3.5 tbs) soapflakes or grated pure soap

500 mls (17 ounces) spring water

Heat the water and add the soap, stirring until melted.

Pour into containers to cool. The mixture will keep for

ages but may go a bit lumpy. If it does, just stir it to

make it smooth again.

To 10 mls (2 tsp) of shampoo mixture (above) or baby

shampoo, add 1 drop of orange essential oil, 3 drops of

cypress essential oil, and 1 drop of sandalwood essential

oil. Mix well before shampooing into hair.

Alternatively mix the essential oils into

9 mls (1.8 tsp) of sweet almond oil and

1 ml (.2 tsp) of jojoba or olive oil.

Dip fingers into mixture and massage into scalp for 5

minutes. Leave overnight and wash out in the morning.
