WHY IT WORKS
APPLE CIDER VINEGAR
Apple cider vinegar is antibacterial and anti-inflammatory in nature. So its use kills the bacteria and fungus that cause dandruff. It’s acidic content restores the moisture content and the pH balance of the scalp. It also helps clean clogged pores and hair follicles.
OLIVE OIL
Use of olive oil provides moisture, prevents the dryness, itchiness, and dandruff on the scalp.
TEA TREE OIL
This oil has antibacterial, antiseptic, and antioxidant properties which stimulate healthy hair growth and heal many scalp problems like dryness and flakiness. Tea tree oil works as a natural hair clarifier.

WHY IT WORKS
LISTERINE
One of the most common cause of dandruff is an overabundance of fungus and listerine has anti-fungal properties.
ADVICE
- If you think using just listerine may be too harsh on your scalp, you can add 10 drops of ‘baby oil’ in it.
- Avoid any contact with your eyes as it can put your eyes on fire!
- If your scalp is sensitive or if there is any broken skin, skip this treatment until it heals. As listerine contains alcohol, it will sting and probably aggravates the condition.
