If you are bothered by a flaky scalp, you can skip the pricey chemical shampoos. Instead,using a circular motion, rub about 2 teaspoons of kosher salt over your wet head. Rinse and then shampoo as usual. The gritty salt lifts off the flakes plus absorbs excess oil and moisture. This prevents the fungal growth that causes dandruff. If you have any cuts or scrapes on your scalp DO NOT use as it will cause a burning sensation!
