I have tried several shampoos with coconut oil (CNO) as their predominant ingredient. But unfortunately, they all failed to address my dandruff concern. I can only think of one reason for this failure. The manufacturers must have put some other harmful chemicals or components in their shampoos.
It's only when I used pure virgin coconut oil that I was able to solve my dandruff dilemma. What I do is I massage a liberal amount, about 1-2 tablespoons of VCO on my hair and into my scalp. I have short hair so adjust accordingly to your hair length and type. Not too much though as you wouldn't want to be dripping all over the place.
Make sure the oil stays on for around 15 minutes, preferably up to an hour if you have the time. Use a shower cap if you have to. Then wash it out with the mildest shampoo you can get your hands on. You can add a touch of oil after washing. A few drops won't make your hair look oily but is enough to give it a little extra shine.
I do this regimen twice, sometimes only once a week. We are all different so experiment with your own unique situation for best results.
Only pure coconut oil in combination with a gentle shampoo works for me. Coconut oil contains a rich amount of medium chain triglycerides (MCT). The same MCTs found in sebum. Sebum is the fatty secretion of the sebaceous glands that lubricates your hair and keeps your scalp from drying and breaking.
MCTs or medium chain fatty acids (MCFA) have amazing antimicrobial properties that include dandruff on its list of countless victims.
