Instructions

• 1

  Focus on fresh fruits. You should avoid canned fruits, citrus fruits and bananas. Instead, eat large amounts of apples, pineapples and melons.

• 2

  Eat your vegetables raw. Cooking vegetables leaches valuable nutrients out of them. These nutrients can help keep your scalp healthy and prevent the fungus that may be living on your head from being able to get nutrients from your scalp.

• 3

  Give up caffeine. Coffee and tea dehydrate the body as a whole and make your skin more susceptible to dandruff. If you cannot quit cold turkey, at least cut down.

• 4

  Eat organically raised meat. The chemicals and medicines that conventionally raised cattle ingest with their food can throw your entire bodily system out of balance and make you susceptible to skin problems and other health issues.
