Dandruff can be stress-related and ranges in severity, from a mild case to an inflammatory condition requiring specialist help.

Here is a home remedy that can help treat the problem.

You will need:

30ml apple cider vinegar

10 drops pure cedarwood essential oil

10 drops pure rosemary essential oil

5 drops pure tea tree essential oil

Method:

1. Put the ingredients into a dark glass bottle and shake well.

2. Divide the hair into sections and, with a dampened cotton-wool pad, rub the lotion all over the scalp.

3. Let it dry naturally and leave it on overnight if possible.

4. Wash with a gentle shampoo and rinse hair thoroughly.
