Chemical shampoos and dandruff treatments are expensive and often only make the problem worse, as they destroy the natural protective oils that your hair and scalp create to prevent dandruff. This simple mint dandruff treatment is fast, easy effective and will cost less than anything you can buy in a bottle.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1/2 cup distilled water
• 1/2 apple cider vinegar
• 2 tbsp. liquid eucalyptus castile soap
• 8 to 10 drops mint essential oil

1. Combine 1/2 cup distilled water and 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar. Wet your hair thoroughly and rinse with the mixture, massaging into your scalp. Allow to set for at least 15 minutes.

2. Add 8 to 10 drops of mint essential oil to 2 tbsp. liquid eucalyptus castile soap. After rinsing the water and apple cider vinegar from your hair, apply the eucalyptus soap and mint oil mixture as you would a normal shampoo. Lather and allow to set for 15 minutes.
