1. Apple Cider Vinegar, Oil of Garlic, Black Walnut Tincture or Tea: For quick relief, bathe your head/hair with any one of these.
   
   Henna: Use henna on hair. (Will make hair reddish color.)
2. For Lavender Essential Oil, Anise Oil, Tea Tree Oil(2-3 drops essential oil in 10 ml carrier oil): Massage into scalp

Tips & Warnings

• My father has used the mayonnaise treatment and it worked for him. Unfortunatly I didn't have these tips when I had to deal with the problem.
• The Lavender, Anise, or Tea Tree Essential Oils may cause skin irritation on some people so test on a small area first.
