Used it last Tuesday then again this past Sunday, and I'm loving it. My scalp is almost never itchy and the flaking is noticeably reduced. Also, I know it's only been 1.5 weeks, but my hair seems to take a bit longer to get greasy. I can start washing 2x/week instead of 3x/week, which is great. I think I'm gonna keep using the Listerine once a week.
I'm really glad I saw this thread... it's so awesome to not have my scalp be itchy and flaky. Thanks for posting, Capybara!
such an interesting thread!
you all are using the original one right? in the yellow bottle?
i'm seriously thinking about giving this a try.... i've been WO for 5 months now, and still have flakes, although not really much itching at all. doing honey treatments has helped a LOT with the flakes, but leaves a bit of residue. do you all think using listerine would help to remove the honey residue? its not like a TON of honey thats left in my hair r anything, but i do know that SOME gets let behind....

Like another poster, I always had good results from sea breeze for my scalp psoriasis. It's not as bad now as it used to be but when the seasons change my scalp flares up horrible, I always reach for Sea Breeze. Nice thread Maybe next time I'll try the Listerine!

This is really interesting, never heard of using Listerine on the scalp. I have occasional scaly / itchy scalp, sometimes right around the hairline and nape of the neck. It's not like dandruff, just very itchy and drives me nuts... I wanted to try the ACV next time I wash, but Listerine?? Would never have thought of it. I'm thinking it's the alcohol in it that kills the bacteria causing the scales/dandruff/itchiness? Very encouraging to read that it's helping others. I think my scalp has improved quite a bit since I stopped using SLS poos, so since that is still kind of new for me, want to wait before using Listerine. Will stay tuned to this thread, thank you for posting.
