   you want to stay away from shampoos with SLS (sles) or ALS in them as they cause hair to thin :: there are lots of other harsh ingredients to watch out for::

   i used to have different types of hair issues. i found the perfect curre. go to your local pharmacy .(riteaid , cvs , walgreens..) and buy a bottle of vitamin E (around 3-6 dollars) . you could take it orally but massaging it into your hair before taking a shower leaves your hair shiny healthy and dandruff free massage it all over ur scalp and leave it in there for around 15-30- minutes. then rinse it off and do your usual shampoo and conditioner routine.

   good luck

   A quick herbal shampoo

   Pour one application of a mild baby shampoo in to a cap and add 2tbsp (30 ml) of a strong decoction of your selected herb, or 4 drops of essential oil. Mix together and use in the normal manner.

   Henna & Egg Shampoo

   5 tbsp. natural henna powder
   1 egg
   1 cup warm water
   juice of 1/2 lemon

   Prepare a thick paste by mixing the egg and the henna into the warm water. Leave the mixture to set for one hour, then add the lemon juice to fix the colour. Apply gently and thoroughly to hair and scalp. For best results, wait for at least two hours or until completely dry before rinsing out hair with warm water. Note: some people prefer to leave the mixture in overnight, in a hair pack.
   This shampoo, used for centuries in India and the Middle East, has now found its way to the West. Natural henna will leave your hair strengthened and shinier, adding a light brown tinge to it. It also acts as a natural coolant for the scalp.

   Apple Vinegar Rinse

   1 litre cold water
   1 tsp. apple vinegar

   Mix together water and apple vinegar and rinse through hair.
   This blend of apple vinegar and water is used as a conditioner to add shine, or just as a treatment for the hair itself.

   Several fixes for flakes
   If you are plagued with dandruff, follow one or more of these natural remedies:

   * Spike your shampoo. Add 3-4 drops of tea tree oil (Melaleuca alternifolia), an antiseptic herb, to a palm-size amount of gentle shampoo just before washing your hair.

   * Massage your scalp while shampooing to loosen flakes, but avoid scratching, which will create sores.

   * Rinse with antiseptic herbs. Boil 2 rounded tablespoons of dried herb
   (or herbs mixture) in 1 cup of water for 5 to 7 minutes. Cool, strain, and massage tea through shampooed hair and into your scalp. Do not rinse out.

   * Get you biotin. This vitamin like nutrient may prevent and treat dandruff. Good sources include brewer’s yeast, cheese, and rice bran.

   * Reduce stress. Dandruff (and other skin conditions such as eczema) can be worsened by high levels of stress. Practice yoga or tai chi, take natural antidepressants and meditate.

   Massage-oil (mixed essential-oils)

   1 tsp. rosemary oil
   1 tsp. basil oil
   1 tsp. lavender oil

   1 tbsp. burdock oil
   1 tbsp. aloe vera gel

   In a dark glass bottle, combine 1 teaspoon each of rosemary, basil and lavender essential oils. Mix 5 drops of this mixture with 1 tablespoon of burdock oil and 1 tablespoon of aloe vera gel. Massage it into your scalp a few hours before shampooing your hair.
   Burdock oil is used to improve hair strength, shine and body, and combat hair loss. It was also used as a herbal remedy to get rid of dandruff and scalp itching, and to promote healing of skin and scalp conditions. Modern studies indicate that burdock-root oil extract is rich in phytosterols and essential fatty acids, nutrients required for a healthy scalp and natural hair growth. Massaging your scalp with essential oils can stimulate hair growth.

   Variants of massage-oil

   1 egg yolk
   1 tbsp. cognac
   1 tbsp. burdock oil
   1 tbsp. castor oil
   1 tbsp. onion juice

   You should take flax oil, and the omega oils because it nutirlizes your hair. and if you wash your hair buy clear shampoo because it has less chemicals then the ones with dyes and cream. I don’t use conditioner either… less chemicals the better
