HOW TO HAVE A DANDRUFF FREE SCALP

Dandruffs are scales of greasy keratotic material shed from the scalp.

Water Treatments
1. Wash hair 2 times a week using gugo shampoo or commercial shampoo for dry hair.
2. Comb and massage head very well after shampoo.
3. Apply fresh coconut oil to the head and hair once a week, one hour before shampoo. Massage the oil on the scalp. Leave oil for 10 minutes. Better yet, leave it on overnight before shampoo.
4. As hair conditioner, put ½ cup vinegar into one-gallon water and use this to rinse hair after shampoo.

Herbal Medications
1. Kilaw leaves. Pound the rhizomes. Rub or massage the juice on the scalp and hair. Leave it overnight and shampoo the next morning.
2. Gugo Bark Shampoo. Soak the gugo bark in a basin of cold water for 30 minute before the shampoo. Squeeze the juice in the water and put the juice of calamansi. Wet hair very well and use this as shampoo. Rinse well. Use vinegar as conditioner if the water is hard.
3. Sabila Leaves. Extract the juice from fresh leaves. Apply juice liberally and massage scalp 1 hour before the gugo bark shampoo. Do this once a week for 4 weeks.
