I also recomend the apple cider vinegar. it stops the itching and restores the ph to your scapl and hair and gets rid of the grease. if your scalp is dry as well smash bananas (ripe ones) and put in your hair. it nursishes it.

For me the apple cider vinegar was too strong and burned like hell on my scalp. I prefer to use apple cider vinegar mixed with equal part of hydrogen peroxide diluted with about an equal portion of water. Soaking with this mix for 15 to 30 min before a shower really stops the itch and out and clears the gunk out of my follicles. When it gets really bad i also scrub my head with borax which neutralizes and is also an antifungal.

I had ringworm once a long time ago and my uncle told me to use borax and it worked like a charm!  My hubby suggested that I try it on my head, but I hadn't heard of anyone doing that...did it work well for you?
