How I cured my dandruff

I am so excited because I have finally cured my dandruff!!! Since I was about 15 (27 now), I have had dandruff that is very itchy, sometimes yellow and moist, sometimes white and dry. My skin and hair are naturally oily. I would scratch it and it would bleed and make scabs. I used medicated dandruff shampoos like Head and Shoulders for many years that would keep the dandruff away for a day, but it would not cure the problem.

After trying many things that did not work, there are 2 things I credit to getting rid of my dandruff...

1. Oil of Oregano - I read about Oil of Oregano and how it had helped someone else who had tried many things that did not work. I would use a dropper and massage drops of the oil onto my scalp, working in rows over my entire head. I left it on for 15-30 minutes and then shampooed it out. It worked amazingly even from the first time, and I would repeat it every couple of days as needed. It stings a little and I smelled like a pizza, but it was worth it! I bought a little vile of it from my local health food store.

2. Neem shampoo and conditioner - I started using an organic Neem based sham/cond from my local health food store. Neem is a type of plant known for its cleaning abilities. The product I use does not have Sodium Laurel Sulfate in it which almost every cleaning product has. I think my scalp is sensitive to this harsh chemical (and maybe others) and was reacting with dandruff. Since I started using this shampoo I don't even have to use the Oil of Oregano anymore. I know my scalp is healthy and normal now. My dandruff is gone!!!!
