Coconut oil. Of all the things I’ve suggested to friends and family, coconut oil has worked nearly 99% of the time. If you have really stubborn dandruff, try combining 2 Tbsp coconut oil and 4-5 drops tea tree or neem
The key is to leave the coconut oil or mixture on your scalp for as many hours as you can. Leave it on overnight, if possible.
However, if you’re no ‘poo and have the problem of flakiness, I’d do a coconut oil treatment and wash with a non-detergent (sulfate-free) shampoo as a special treatment, then rinse with a solution of 3 cups water and 2 tsp lemon juice. From then on out, make sure you are COMPLETELY rinsing all of the baking soda from your scalp. Remember, baking soda changes the pH of your scalp/hair, which can lead to irritation if you don’t get it all rinsed out.
Cinnamonn, in the comments, also pointed out that if you have persistent dandruff and areas of pink, scaly scalp, you might actually have psoriasis (not an uncommon issue).
