You can add a couple of tablespoons of jojoba or wheat germ oil to the conditioner, if your scalp is really dry and /or add a little shampoo if your hair is very oily. In either case if you normally wash your hair every day, try switching to every other day for the 'real' shampoo, and use the conditioner as 'shampoo' on the alternate days until things improve. If you have a hard time finding the jojoba or wheat germ oils, try either mineral oil(baby oil) or vegetable or olive oil, just make sure they are salt free, and finish with as cold of water rinse as you can stand for excellent shine and smoothness. william
