How to treat dandruff with aloe vera

If you suffer from dandruff, this is a good way to treat it. I know just how embarrasing it is when you have flakes all over your hair and even on your shoulders. The dry and itching sensation on your scalp can be torture. If you want relief, this easy remedy is just what you need.

Things You'll Need

• aloe vera
• paring knife
• blender or chopper
• clean container with lid

Instructions

1. The first thing I do is, cut an arm off of my aloe vera plant and rinse it with warm water.

2. Pat dry and peel the skin off with the paring knife. Once peeled cut the aloe vera into medium sized pieces.

3. Get all the pieces and as much of the gel into the blender or chopper and blend or chop until the aloe looks very foamy.

4. Next, pour the foamy aloe into a clean container. I get the aloe from my container and I massage it into my scalp real good.

5. Leave the aloe on your scalp for about 30 minutes to an hour, then shampoo your hair as usual. Do this 3 or 4 times a week and it should keep your dandruff in check.

6. Cover the left over aloe and regfrigerate. It keeps for about a week.

Tips & Warnings

• You will feel a tingling sensation on your scalp while you have the aloe on your scalp, it just means it's working.

• After you wash your hair, you will see some white bits of aloe if not well blended, just comb them out.

• Be careful when peeling the aloe, it can be very slippery!
