Dandruff Relief

I have been dealing with dandruff for the past couple of months now, and I have literally tried everything to treat it.  I tried apple cider vinegar, baking soda, all natural shampoos, even Head & Shoulders and all kinds of dandruff treatments, but nothing seemed to work.  Finally, when my baby had cradle cap, I used this all natural baby balm and I could tell the balm was healing and loosening the flakes, but they were not coming off.  It eventually occurred to me, that not only did her scalp need a nourishing treatment to heal the cradle cap but also some gentle exfoliation.  Once I shampooed and "brushed" her hair, the cradle cap was gone.  Since cradle cap is essentially the same thing as dandruff, I realized I needed to exfoliate my scalp as well.  I found this brush on Amazon for only $10 and I couldn't be a happier with the results!  According to the description, the copper infused bristles on the brush aid in killing 88% of dandruff causing fungi".  Plus, it feels amazing on my scalp!
I also decided to try NYR Organic's Rosemary & Cedarwood Hair Treatment because rosemary essential oil stimulates circulation to the scalp.  On top of that, the antiseptic and astringent properties in cedarwood essential oil make the two oils a perfect combination when treating dandruff.  This is the book I refer to when using essential oils.

Once I started using this brush along with this hair treatment, the dandruff disappeared.  I have also noticed that my hair has become smoother and more manageable.
 This is the process I go through:
1. Brush dry hair (with the above brush), focusing on the scalp, for at least a minute or two.
2. Apply small amount of Rosemary & Cedarwood treatment to the "problem areas" of your scalp.
    (only need a very small amount or it can be difficult to wash out of your hair)
3. Wrap your hair in a cotton t shirt.  I have learned that the fibers in towels can actually increase             frizz.  Leave treatment on for about a half an hour.
4.  Wash out with all natural dandruff shampoo.  This is my favorite. http://amzn.to/1eRRwXs
5.  Condition as usual and comb hair.
6.  Let air dry, then use the brush again to remove any remaining flakes.
