8 Natural Anti Dandruff Remedies …

Natural Anti Dandruff Remedies have helped a lot of people cure their flaky, itchy scalps and are, according to many, the only right way to get rid of dandruff once and for all. Now, I must admit that I have never relied on natural anti dandruff remedies to solve my flaky scalp issues but, since my dandruff seems to be coming back every time I stop using anti dandruff shampoo, I am definitely considering giving them a shot. How about you? Are you dealing with the same problems? Well, check out these 8 very interesting natural anti dandruff remedies that, in my opinion, seem pretty convincing:

1. Chamomile Tea Rinse

Sensitive, flaky scalp is one of the main causes of dandruff and since chamomile’s anti-inflammatory and soothing effects are already well known, you should definitely give a chamomile tea rinse a shot. People with sensitive skin often suffer from dry, flaky scalp as well and since there is no yeast overgrowth or dermatitis you need to cure in this case, all you’ll have to do is focus on moisturizing and soothing your poor scalp. Wash your hair with a neutral shampoo, apply your favorite conditioner, rinse well with clean, warm water and then do a final rinse using cold chamomile tea. It’s completely safe, healthy and both your hair and scalp will love it.

2. Apple Cider Vinegar and Hydrogen Peroxide

Sounds a bit strange, ever dangerous but a lot of people claim this is one of the best natural anti dandruff remedies ever! I, personally, haven’t tried it but I think it just might do the trick because both vinegar and peroxide have anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties that deal with yeast overgrowth – one of the most frequent causes of dandruff. Now, the peroxide solution you are supposed to use here is just a regular, harmless 3% solution that can even be used for cleaning cuts and you are supposed to mix it with vinegar and clean, filtered water in the ratio 1:10 (1 part peroxide, 1 part vinegar, 10 parts water), apply it on your scalp, massage it in, leave it to work its magic for about 15 minutes and then rinse.

3. Tea Tree Oil

Using oil to deal with the sebum on your scalp seems like an odd choice but tea tree oil really helps control excess sebum and, when mixed with Aloe Vera oil in the 1:1 ratio, creates one of the most potent natural anti dandruff remedies you can whisk up at home. This homemade cure for dandruff works best if you give it a couple of hours so I suggest applying it early in the morning on days when you don’t plan to leave the house and wash it in the evening, before you go to bed.

4. Drink Plenty of Water

If you like to eat very salty food or have slow metabolism, your dandruff issues might have nothing to do with fungus or sensitive scalp but dehydrated cells instead. When cells don’t have enough water, they die faster which means your skin will shed more and… guess what… that includes your scalp too! So, here’s one of those universal cures that also happens to be one of the natural anti dandruff remedies you might find useful – Water!

5. Baking Soda

One of the natural anti dandruff remedies suggests ditching your traditional shampoo for a while (which, by the way, might be the thing that’s causing your dandruff) and washing your hair with baking soda! Baking soda a.k.a sodium bicarbonate is an alkaline solution which raises the PH value of your scalp, making it less acidy and, therefore, not the ideal place for yeast to thrive in. Chemistry 101 ladies!

6. Onions

There is one more thing yeast love just as much as acidy places of your body – sugar! And since raw onions, onion-juice as well as onion-based supplements lower blood sugar levels, including this veggie into your diet might work wonders for your dandruff problems and lower your chances of developing a vaginal yeast infection! Double gain!

7. Borax

Sodium borate, the salt of boric acid or, simply put, Borax is next on my list of interesting natural anti dandruff remedies I want to bring to your attention. This mineral possesses some really strong anti fungal properties you could use in case you’re suffering from a very flaky, very itchy scalp. Dilute it in water, and use for a second rinse after your mild shampoo.

8. Sage Tea Rinse

This common herb has some pretty amazing anti bacterial, anti fungal, soothing and astringing properties which definitely makes it good enough to be used in a battle against dandruff. It also contains essential oils which are often mentioned in terms of dandruff-reduction and hair repair so it won’t only help tackle your flaky scalp problems but do wonders for your hair as well. Use just like you would use the chamomile tea rinse and remember to switch to gentle, natural shampoos in order to give your battle against dandruff a fair chance.

Sexy Summer Hair Styles…

It doesn’t matter if you’re looking for that sweet beachy style or you just want to get your hair off of your neck, you always want your hair to look sexy, even in the heat! I care about how you look and I want to make sure that no matter what you’re doing this summer, your hair looks rockin’! Below, we’re going to explore some of the hottest things to try with your hair this summer that will help you beat out the heat and that you can do quickly so you can get out in the sun! Here are 7 sexy summer hair styles.

1. Sleek & Low Tail

By far, one of the cutest, coolest, chicest and any other ‘est’ things you can think of hairstyles that I absolutely love is the sleek and low ponytail. This play on a ponytail is not only high fashion, but it is easy. Want to know what to do? Literately, all you need to do is grab a hair tie, gather your hair at the nape of your neck and stick it into a low ponytail that is a little loose. That’s it. How easy is it to pull this look off when you are running out the door to head to the beach? Super easy right? And super sexy for summer!

2. Loopy & Droopy Bun

The loopy bun is a classic; and one that I absolutely love; it’s one thing that you can do with your hair this summer in five minutes! Just take your low riding ponytail that I talked about in item 1 above and loop it one more time through the hair tie – though this time, do not pull it through all the way. What this does is actually leave you with a loop of a bun, it transforms your ponytail into something sexy and something sleek – and hey, it’s only one more step!

3. Wet & Hot Tail

This one is an easy one and truly one that anyone in the world can do – if you have long hair. Right after you get into the shower, brush your hair back while still wet and slide it into a high ponytail. Slick on some gel or even some mousse and I swear, your hair will look great. In about five minutes flat, you will be out in the sun getting yourself some much needed color!

4. High & Glammy Bun

This is a great little trick if you are going to want to look sexy on the beach while getting your hair wet. How many girls will not swim in an ocean because you are scared your hair will get wet and you will look horrible? I raised my hand, but with this style, I can promise that I will be swimming in the ocean this summer! You just pull your hair back and secure it with not only bobby pins but also with a hair tie and some hairspray and I promise, it won’t move, no matter how wet you get it!

5. Fishtail Braid

Finally, the fishtail braid is a great and sexy alternative to a regular braid. This sexy little braid is not only great to keep your hair in check on the beach, but guess what? If it gets wet, it will only make your hair crimp that much more! If you want a braid that is unique, different and totally twisted, this is the one that will do it for you!
