The dandruff issue affects nearly every age group. It is not caused by dry scalp but is actually released by increased oil production, hormonal fluctuations, stress, and illness.

In a small grinder, mix all ingredients on low for 30 seconds and apply it to wet hair with warm water. Rinse it well and discard it after 3 days.
