"Hi, my name is Lauren, and today, I'm here to talk to you about whether or not, vinegar actually helps dandruff. Normally, a household product that everybody has in their kitchen, apple cider vinegar does actually help dandruff. It acts naturally, cleanses the scalp and plus, acts as an antiseptic. Dandruff is normally an overproduction of sebum, or your oil glands are overactive, so despite the fact that dandruff is usually dry flakes, most people think it's dry skin, where it's actually, your sebum glands are working twice as hard, as a normal persons. The Pittosporum-ovle is a micro-organism that everyone has. This micro-organism is what causes the dandruff, to actually come through the overproduction of sebum. The apple cider vinegar, you would use as a rinse, simply put through your hair, from your root and your scalp, and bring it down. You would rinse it in, and then leave it for a little while, and rinse it out, and it will actually act as an antiseptic, will naturally clean your scalp, and will prevent you from having to shampoo regularly, or continuously, which will prevent you from overproducting of sebum, and my name is Lauren, and that's it, so yes, vinegar does help dandruff."
