Bulgur and quinoa are both whole grains that make terrific healthy side dishes. Bulgur is precooked cracked wheat. Because it cooks very quickly, it makes a handy convenience food. Quinoa, technically a seed, comes from a plant native to the Andes and first cultivated by the Incas.
Dry scalp is often itchy and may also result in flaking. When dead skin is being sloughed off the scalp, it can create a dry scalp or dandruff. This skin condition is known as seborrheic dermatitis. A moisturizing shampoo containing essential oils such as lavender oil and jojoba oil (a plant wax) may be helpful.
If you tend to have dry scalp or dandruff, you can rub a little castor oil into your scalp and massage it in to alleviate the flakes and itchiness. Incidentally, the oil works really well as conditioner, too. Just mix 2 teaspoons with an egg white and a teaspoon of glycerin and massage into your wet hair.
