"Every year, for as long as I can remember, when the brutal cold of winter finally sets in, I get a little, um, flakey. Yes, this is embarrassing to admit, but for a couple of weeks each year, my scalp goes through a seasonal transition and I start noticing light dandruff&amp;amp;#8212;and in my dark hair, it&amp;#x27;s so obvious. If you have dandruff, you&amp;#x27;re not alone&amp;amp;#8212;some experts estimate that up to 90 percent of Americans will experience dandruff at some time in their lives. But what if you&amp;#x27;re looking for a gentle, non-chemical solution? I&amp;#x27;ve found an inexpensive solution that works for me every time&amp;amp;#8212;even better than drugstore chemical treatments. My tried-and-true go-to dandruff remedy? Any natural shampoo that&amp;#x27;s infused with rosemary. Yes, the herb rosemary. Years ago, I noticed that (the now-discontinued) Kiehl&amp;#x27;s Herbal Shampoo for Dry Hair, which contained rosemary extracts, worked incredibly efficiently (and gently) to remove and prevent dandruff flakes&amp;amp;#8212;so well that after using it for a week, I could go off it for months and not have a flake problem. This makes sense, actually, because rosemary oil is known to be a natural anti-fungal agent. Some herbalists also tout rosemary as being a great skin-toner, anti-aging ingredient, free-radical zapper, and circulation-booster. Since I can&amp;#x27;t get my hands on that magical Kiehl&amp;#x27;s shampoo anymore (don&amp;#x27;t you hate it when beauty companies discontinue products you love?), over the past couple of years, I&amp;#x27;ve been using just any old rosemary shampoo I find at my local Whole Foods. Last week, after trying a bunch of chemical-based dandruff shampoos from conventional drugstores (they didn&amp;#x27;t work!) I headed to the supermarket and picked up Avalon Organics&amp;#x27; Volumizing Rosemary Shampoo (about $10)&amp;amp;#8212;and voila! Glossy hair and not a flake in sight. Check out some of these other rosemary-infused shampoos on the market&amp;amp;#8212;hopefully one of them will work for you! rosemary shampoo What are some products that have helped you combat dandruff?
