Don't forget to give your scalp some TLC. Before shampooing, pre-cleanse your crown by stirring 1 tablespoon of baking soda, 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice into 1 cup of water. The acidity of the vinegar combined with the baking soda helps to naturally banish dandruff, while the lemon juice helps to balance the pH of your scalp. Be sure to focus this mask on your scalp for 10 minutes and rinse out thoroughly for a squeaky clean finish.
