♥ personal updates ~ dandruff problems ♥

Monday, July 27, 2009

Hi everyone, how's the SONA going? I'll just reserve my comments for a while. For 4 days, we had a visitor from Australia (a Pinay and her son) who had lived there for 13 years. The duo is so cool, inspiring and eye-pleasing. It was fun having them. And, yesterday was a big day for me! I was confirmed by Archbishop John Dew. Yep, shame at this age but was made extraordinary by the place and time. Archbishop even gave us something from Rome, Italy as remembrance.

Quite a lot had happened this weekend, oh yeah, but I still need some "inspirin" to blog! Been feeling a little lonely, homeysicky these past days.... *sniff*

Change topic fellas!


For three months, I've been battling with "dandruff"! yikes! I know what you're thinking, it's yuck and so unglam, unfab, unlady of me. Embarassingly sad but it's true!

Before you all think that I was absent when Personal Grooming 101 was being taught, my dandruff is due to climatic change. Back in RP, I only get this when super stress-out with stuff. Now, I'm having this because of the cold, very cold weather.

So what do I do?

The first option one may think of, including me is to take an anti-dandruff shampoo. But I reconsider the facts that (1) anti-dandruff shampoos are normally harsher & could lead to more dryness; (2) the reason of me having dandruff is because of scalp dryness due to COLD weather and; (3) there is only one reasonably-priced anti-dandruff shampoo here and it dries my scalp all the more.

So I looked for alternative solutions and found the following helpful tips:

1. Good blood circulation up to our scalp is very important. That way, no toxic will build-up in our scalps. To achieve that, do "scalp massage" at least once a week before washing your hair.

2. Try applying (Virgin) Coconut Oil but since the price ain't practical here in my local, I stopped but hey, it was effective (lucky Filipinos).

3. Cider Vinegar added to a basin of water as a final rinse to the hair, to maintain its acid balance. Do it on a weekend! =)

4. Mix one egg yolk with a squirt of lime juice and a few drops of camphor oil and apply to scalp for 10 minutes, then rinse with warm water. This will reintroduce missing protein to the scalp.

Gotta try myself numbers 3 & 4 this coming weekend. Wish me luck!=) Though the scalp massage has already helped a lot!

Do you have other tips?, you're welcome to share it!

All love ♥,
Miss Sachi
