for extreme dandruff my mom uses African black soap the bar one because it all natural and after coming out of the shower she treats her hair with hair oil. i have a recipe uou can change it for your preference of smell or base oil if you are allergic to anything

hair oil
olive oil (base oil)
avocado oil (base oil)
grape seed oil (base oil)
Jamaican black caster oil (base oil)
teetree oil (to help heal the scalp and reduse itchiness)
peppermint oil
eucalyptus oil

I use to have really bad flakes. They were white & my scalp itched real bad. I switched from T/Gel & other anti dandruff liquid shampoos & conditioners to solid bar shampoos & conditioners found on Etsy. They have made a huge difference. My scalp is never itchy/flaky anymore. I also oil my scalp. I use argon oil directly on my scalp & circulate it into my scalp then brush it through my hair with a boar bristle brush. I use the bare minimum so my hair doesn’t look greasy. Aloe Vera also helps if you’ve been outside for a bit in the sun.

Aquila, African Black Soap is amazing for your skin and hair!!! 😀

Thank you I have olive oil in the house I will give it a try with my scalp scrubber

Same, I totally understand!
