Actions:  Apply warm coconut oil to the scalp and leave on overnight.  In the morning, apply the juice of a lemon, after half an hour, wash as usual.  Soak fenugreek seeds overnight, grind into a paste.  Apply to scalp, leave on a few minutes, then rinse.  Another way is to find a shampoo containing 2% sulfur, preferably partnered with 2% salicylic acid.  A third approach is to use a 5% tea tree shampoo, or create your own by adding around 15 drops tea tree essential oil to a mild shampoo.  With any of the shampoo options, you do need to let it sit for a bit before rinsing.
