on 10/7/2009 I have to add again, that not all hair is created equal they are different as dandruff is. Hence everyone has to find out for themselves what works and what does not. My advise is to try different things one thing at a time and not if you have to look good on the following morning. So weekends and holidays are perfect. Also give the product some time to actually take action. No dandruff will disappear over night and some products like vitamins need weeks to adjust the whole system. Also take some rest between two testing episodes to be sure that you do not experience interactions between the two products. In addition the result of some products will wear off or work better or worse together with other products. Hence it is a big research by trial and error to find out what works best for your own hair and dandruffs.

Take 3 table spoon musturd oil and add 1 and half table spoon backing powder in it, make it a thin paste and use it on the roots of hair, leave it for 10 minutes and then wash with your shampoo and rains off with a little warmer water. apply this 2 times in a week with in a month you will forget that you had dundruf in your hairs ever. it will also give good shine to your hairs.
