Bananas help with both split ends and breakage prevention. Yogurt is filled with lactic acids that help rid the scalp of dead skin. Together this combo helps treat dandruff while locking in much needed moisture!

APPLE CIDER VINEGAR RINSE

The high citric acid content of the apple cider vinegar keeps its pH around 3.5. It nurtures the hair cuticles and protects it from damage. It also assists in healing the already damaged hair.

Apple Cider Vinegar can help get rid of left over products that cling to your curls, which will restore your scalp to its natural pH. You’ll want to dilute the apple cider vinegar with water before you apply it to your head. Use a 1:3 apple cider vinegar to water ratio while preparing your treatment. Let the mask sit in your hair for 10-15 minutes while covering your head with a plastic bonnet.

To get the apple cider vinegar smell out of your hair, make sure to condition after you’ve completely washed out the treatment.

In case you are suffering from the age-old severe dandruff problems, then this mask is definitely for you. Dandruff is truly irritating and can be itchy, flaky, and downright embarrassing.
