Daily Showering Tip (4/15/05)...

Dandruff is caused by the turnover and renewal of skin cells on the scalp. It becomes a cosmetic problem when shedding of old skin exceeds our ability to remove it, showing up as dry flakes on our collar and clogging our comb or brush. Effective dandruff shampoos can be rather expensive and may provide only temporary relief. A simple and inexpensive cure for dandruff is to dip the scalp in Vaseline twice daily. The Vaseline will prevent dry scalp and will encapsulate flaking dead skin. Problem solved. Your hair will be exceedingly shiny, sloppy and slick, but that's a small price to pay for the embarrassment caused by dandruff.
