EZPZ: Lemon Squeezey!

I know I can share this with you; my Aiming Low friends. I know you’ll understand and not judge me for a very serious problem. A problem some of you may have has well.

For years now each winter my scalp gets dry. Very, very dry. Itchy, bumpy, icky dry. Then in spring when there’s more moisture in the air my scalp thinks about not being so dry and then around mid-summer my scalp cooperates. So basically, there are about 3 1/2 months out of the year that my scalp isn’t dry.

I’ve tried all the logical things you think might work like not shampooing everyday and dandruff shampoos but these solutions never really worked great and because I like and must use conditioner I thought I always messed up the effectiveness of the shampoo with the conditioner.

Until I found my cheap, home remedy I was forced to live with a dry, itchy scalp that I couldn’t scratch for fear of flaking off white, dead, ugly scalp onto one of my 18 black shirts. That’s not sexy. The naturalists on the Internet did not disappoint. You’d think with a natural recipe I’d have to mix eggs, mayonnaise, hand-crushed minerals and the saliva of a virgin, but I do not!

What could be easier than pouring bottled lemon juice (or I guess you could squeeze them) on your head?

• Cover scalp with lemon juice and work it in
• Waiting for 15 minutes, give or take a few.
• Shampoo like regular.
• Enjoy the cheapness that is a large bottle of lemon juice off the shelf.
• Use as necessary (for me a few days in a row to begin then about every 6-8 weeks or as needed).

My hair is colored with a permanent ammonia-free hair color and using lemon doesn’t show a hint of that Sun In look (That is a test…do you remember?) and honestly, that worried me a bit.

Oh, how I love the Internet and the crazy EZPZ tips it brings us. Every once in a while a blind squirrel finds an acorn, eh?
