dandruff

Dandruff is an extremely annoying skin disorder of the scalp. Dandruff can be a result of hormonal disturbances, faulty diet, emotional stress, an increase in serbum production, or a fungal infection. For a very stubborn case of dandruff, consult your health care provider; otherwise, the following recipes work quite well.
